I don't understand why you would stop using a bitcoin forum due to someone's off-topic/unimportant viewpoints.

If it was just one member, then I would just put him on ignore, and I have done this with a couple of stalkers.

I was referring to the general mindset. If the majority of members are just posting MSM reports, and not bothering to research or question the facts, and those posts are showered into potentially interesting threads, then it isn't worth trying to follow the thread. This is especially true if such members have to clog the thread with redundant quotes and images. The tech boards are great for helping members with Bitcoin issues, but Bitcoin is now established in the world economy, and therefore it has become important to consider global political and economic issues. It seems few are prepared to investigate anything beyond their own local issues, and the peccadilloes of their politicians.

Just joined (late to the party) so won't be leaving anytime soon. And it reminds of Craigslist (just checked, it's still up!). So basic and yet functional.

Is there an option where "When KYC now required in the forum"? Roll Eyes

jk lol. I already long time ago that theymos wouldn't do it. Cheesy

For real, I chose the options "Age, family, life,....." and " Personal safety, privacy and/or taxes....".
It is the same way for me when I take a break from Facebook, and I just read the stuffs here in the forum and chill.
That's why when life gives ya lemons, grab a tequila.

There are many reasons that makes some people to back off from forum. Among many of the reason is the moderation. Some people became discouraged and left forum because most of their post is deleted or ban

I almost left due to mod and deletion of my post. But now I find it difficult to leave this forum because it has helped me a lot. It developed my reading and quality post habit.

Some of the contributors to our forum get exhausted so some of them decided to take a break for a meantime, few of them leave permanently because they want to give a shine to other member and think have enough contributions and let the other members continue the legacy.

These are some guess why they leave.

Have enough funds
Settled in life
Feel tired of the same daily routine
Get banned

I think for me it's hard to leave the forum there is a lot of information here that gives help to my future investments and more.

The first case was due to my own mistake as a beginner...

Were you banned at one point when you were just starting out?

yep, he got banned for copy-pasting according to hilariousandco but it was then changed to a temporary ban and 1-year sig ban most likely because of his contribution to the forum. in the end, I am glad everything went in his favor. sorry for answering on his behalf.

here's the ban appeal thread he created

There's an option missing from the poll: personal safety, privacy and/or taxes. Lauda's post made me feel like (s)he left because of safety.

Good thinking! I also got the feeling from reading the goodbye thread that someone was on to her or made a serious threat that made her quit.
Therefore, the option "Personal safety, privacy and/or taxes" has been added to the poll.

Death. Though I may still haunt the forum after I die. Haven't decided yet.

I've cut back on my posting in the Bitcoin Talk forum, as it seems to have been taken over by many who have a passive acceptance of government and msm misinformation and propaganda.

I am certain you are talking about COVID-19 and vaccinations.

Quote from: Jet Cash on May 19, 2021, 04:36:53 AM

It would be great if we could have some threads that discussed and questioned the manipulated fake news that is affecting our live to a considerable extent. Obvious topics are pharmaceuticals ans vaccination, fiat currencies and their replacement, the manipulation of wealth preservation assets, the destruction of family values, distortion of human sexuality, and a whole range of similar topics.

Most of those are off-topic discussions that shouldn't be the focus of a bitcoin forum. They belong either in off-topic, serious discussion, or politics. Bitcoin can be discussed with homosexual anti-vaxxers who love the British pound, as well as straight people who live in families with 2-3 children who don't want to get their COVID shots. You can combine the options anyway you want. I don't understand why you would stop using a bitcoin forum due to someone's off-topic/unimportant viewpoints.

I have left fora for a number of reasons in the past.

I left a domainer forum when it converted to a paid membership.
I have left a few because they stopped allowing links to my sites in signatures, or they stopped allowing signatures.
I left another one when it was taken over by a load of people whose only interests seemed to be travelling to spain, and getting drunk on cheap booze.

I feel the government will be the biggest hindrance because of the regulation they put in place for bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. If bitcoin and altcoin trading is banned by the state, then I think it's time I left this forum even though there are a few other point that make sense in the pool.

Bitcoin and crypto are already banned in a number of countries around the world, but it doesn't stop people from trading P2P and using TOR, VPN, and other tools for masking their whereabouts. The point of bitcoin is not allowing the government to tell you what to do. But I guess it's a whole different story if someone gets punished hard for doing whatever they deem to be illegal.

I either get permabanned or if personal/health/life problems prevent me from being active. BTT has been part of my daily life for a while now and to be honest other than it being a great information hub about all cryptocurrency-related things it is also a good place to stumble upon news that you usually miss or don't know about.

I agree with you. I couldn't choose five options. In my life, I had to leave the forum twice. The first case was due to my own mistake as a beginner, and in the second case, I was forced to leave the forum for personal reasons due to the illness of a loved one.
My absence has never happened of my own free will. The forum has become a part of my life for me; the morning starts with a cup of coffee and reading the forum. The day ends with a reading of the forum. I am not in danger of inadvertent enrichment, I am not on social networks, the people who are here are pleasant to me. Therefore, I hope that the forum will remain in my life as long as I would like.

Let's say that you are just an average guy, working some job for an average salary, can't afford much and spending few hours a day browsing the forum, talking to others and while doing so, getting some pocket money via signature campaign. Then suddenly, through some dumb luck and meme shitcoins pumping, you end up having 10 million dollars. You may wanna travel around the world ( maybe not during this covid19 crap), start your own business etc. With money, you get the chance to do many things that you couldn't afford before and you only have so many hours in one day, meaning you will have to cut some things.

Damn, I'd love to travel but like you said, this pandemic has ruined lots of plans.

If I were to be super rich from this, business is the first thing that comes to mind.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the people who voted for "Crypto has made me wealthy already. I have no reason to be here anymore." are in it for the money. Shocked

That looks like a logical answer, but doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active.

I voted for the similar one and it's almost the same. I know my recent job consumed a lot of time than in here but I still have found ways to be updated on what happened in the crypto space and besides, there's nothing good crypto forum to hang on to, it's Bitcointalk.

Bitcointalk has been a part of me and even in the crypto world, so I don't have any reason to leave since this has been given me a lot of benefits. I've learned a lot on this forum, it's sharpened my skills and knowledge about blockchain technologies, and even my English writing skills were improved compared it before. Considered also, there's an extra income in here. Wink

It might death or physical/mental disability will be the reason to leave in Bitcointalk, as long as I can able to read or still have visual impairments, Bitcointalk is always good to hang on and the reason why we're still here right now.

I voted the most popular here as well "Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active."

I think Death would be the case if this happens.

I added another reason to leave the forum as requested by a few members. You can now also vote for the admins removing or banning signature campaigns as a reason you would leave Bitcointalk. Since 5 votes are allowed per user and I added ticked the box that you can change your votes, everyone who wants to vote for the new option can now do that.

I think most popular reason would be failure to get into good paying signature campaign, or a reduce of profitable bounty campaigns. Or "earning using forum" in general.

That's most likely true for the majority of members, and your example of cryptotalk was an appropriate one. As soon as people stop getting paid to post (or can't manage to get into a campaign or bounty), suddenly their motivation to be a member leaves them completely. Personally I'd keep posting here regardless. I didn't register on bitcointalk with the intention of ever joining a signature campaign and really didn't know much about them until I'd spent a few months on the forum. The only way I'd leave is if I found that I'd outgrown the forum or if something in my life prevented me from being able to post here (or if I got banned, of course).

Quote from: bakasabo on May 18, 2021, 04:44:31 AM

Great example is Cryptotalk forum, that was once advertised here in signatures. Due to lack of bounty campaign (last bounty campaign on that forum ran more than half year ago) a number of users left that forum. After forum owners reduced the amount of post reward, great amount of user left it. Only spammers and those who have high ranked accounts and use forum for referral link promotion are left there.

There were never anything but spammers and plagiarists on that site. Basically, cryptotalk.org took the bottom-feeders from this site and tried to create a workable forum around their membership--and it failed spectacularly. I haven't visited cryptotalk in a long time. Is it even still active anymore?
