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.

theymos never struck me as someone willing to shot himself in the foot. He knows very well the traffic that is generated from signature campaigns as well as the altcoin boards. That's why there is no such option in the poll Wink
It's true that chances of signature campaigns getting removed is very low, but that could still happen, meaning it should have been included in the poll, imho. Even more so as we know that big part of the forum activity is the product of the ongoing signature campaigns so it would be interesting to see how many would vote for that option.

I voted for several "Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active." since it was the closest one to the reason that could get me away from the forum, and its simple boredom. There are forums that I am active for at least ~20 years, and every 4-5 I got fed up and take a break so I guess it could be the main reason for leaving this forum too (at least for some time).

Farewell o_e_l_e_o
Not mine but some common reasons
  • Death
  • Permanent ban
  • Get rich enough and start to enjoy life
  • Lack of easy bounties, good paid signature campaigns
  • Need to focus on something else: learning to code, trade, invest or others that are not related to cryptocurrency
  • Many people still visit the forum (as a guest) or logged-in account but don't make any post


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.
They began with generous campaigns and as a global forum. Months later, they changed to a local forum that restrict many nations and it seems they have become a Russian forum.

Their campaign began with payment in BTC but then in the shit token.

To boldly go where no rabbit has gone before...
This forum isn't what it used to be.
Back in the good old days of 2013-2014 it was the IT place for crypto. Now, not so much.
I'm noticing that most good projects, and by good i mean ones that actually do well (50x) in the last 2-3 years have no mention on this forum
Apart from strong bitcoin info, most altcoin info is just scams and moneygrabs.

I wouldn't leave the forum for the other reasons but I'd say the perm ban is definitely the last straw.

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

So other members would still see posts removed from time to time. Oh God Grin

Same here. I feel so incomplete if i do not visit the forum for a day. I can't now even imagine to leave this forum. There is so much to learn in this forum and more importantly you are free to express your expression in any field / interest of life whether it be bitcoin, pandemic, politics or Elon Musk  Wink

I didn't vote because I didn't find an acceptable option for myself ... in the end, maybe hilariousandco is really right. Although I doubt his ability to rise from the dead, at least until LoyceV uploads his consciousness to the network and explains how to do it.  Cool

I hope that we are still alive when mind uploading like what in Cyberpunk 2077 is  invented so I can be an quasi-AI/ghost on the Internet and like what you said, haunt this forum. To be honest, if this thing with crypto continues to work through my able years, I think that death is the only reason that I will stop going to this forum.

Where's option "Theymos/admin remove signature feature" Tongue

A study conducted in 2019 shows Americans prefer to use discussion forums in search of reliable information. 88% of all respondents replied that they are members of online platforms. 72% believe that forums share much more trustworthy and reliable information compared to social media.

It's surprising since,
1. Some forum doesn't have good categorization
2. Most forum sort thread from last reply date, which makes you miss less popular information.

The reason I would leave Bitcointalk will be lack of interest in cryptocurrency (as a technology/opportunities it gives)
I considered adding loss of interest as a separate category, but in the end, that also somehow fits inside "Age, family, life, and/or personal problems prevent me from being active".

Death.
That's another personal reason to leave the forum. See you in the next life Grin

I think when I'm more focused about marriage, job and family or should I say when I get really busy on with my life. I wouldn't say I wouldn't return when I get inactive here but when it turns out I need some information regarding crypto, I'm sure I'll get back here.

You may not believe>someone told me<>he currently has a new business to manage>he has been on this forum from 2010.

The person wants to start a new life> he bought at that time $0.002=$800> the simple reason for wanting to start a new life and leave the forum.

He messages me to say<>Thank you Forum Bitcointalk> [someone].

Other members>

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.

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.

The reason I would leave Bitcointalk will be lack of interest in cryptocurrency (as a technology/opportunities it gives) or simply lack of free time (instead of reading forum, I would just read cryptocurrency related news webpages (i.e https://cointelegraph.com)).

Bitcointalk has seen many of its old-timers leave and never return to the forum again. There are many reasons why people make such decisions. Still, dissatisfaction with something that happened on the site could be one reason to give up on it.

Forums as mediums for discussions aren’t as popular among the new generations any more. Social media and platforms like Discord or Telegram have significant communities nowadays. But forums still have their charms. And Bitcointalk will always have historical relevance as the place where it all begun.

A study conducted in 2019 shows Americans prefer to use discussion forums in search of reliable information. 88% of all respondents replied that they are members of online platforms. 72% believe that forums share much more trustworthy and reliable information compared to social media.

With all this in mind, I have created a poll. I am interested in finding out the reasons you would decide to leave Bitcointalk and never return here again. You can vote for more than one of the given options. 5 votes per user is the maximum.
