Well, only this web my income comes..

I think these are the most important reasons many users are visiting this great forum every day. This forum has given many people to start finding additional income with their spare time. Either they can earn from signature campaign or sell their services to this community without any advertising expenses.

I understand there is a lack of alternatives, and there is not a better place for up to date information.
apparently you did not understand, because this is the only reason why we are here, if there were better places i'm sure the community would have shifted long time ago
some times it's a matter of what it is less worst, to choose

Sure the quality of most of the posts have gone downhill for the last year or two, but so has the "buzz" and new info surrounding btc. The posts here are lower quality because of sig campaigns, but the sig campaigns are tolerated because activity in these forums was already dwindling.
I joined in feb 2012 (I think) and I knew next to nil about btc. If it wasn't for these forums and my ability to ask very specific questions I'd probably still be struggling with the basics. I think bitcoin talk is still good for this. Anything noteworthy on the reddit sub appears here so I never bother with it.
I'm guessing the REAL btc forum, where the really informative and interesting stuff is, is a private affair that only devs can access (mailing list?)
Anyway, there's really nothing else for us muggles except this here

Both of these platforms offer a wealth of information and very informative feedback to questions. The trolls and spam do not bother me, because I am intelligent enough to identify and filter them on my own. The so called censorship on \r\Bitcoin on Reddit was just something that was over exaggerated to benefit the XT agenda. {Sympathy vote}
Everything is back to normal now, and both platforms are still fully supported and very active. It's very educational and also beneficial to the community to have these kinds of platforms for discussion.

First you're wrong to mentioned bitcointalk.org on your title thread.
I'm not follow bitcoin on reddit, because my internet provider is suck their block reddit site. So, bitcoin forum which i followed is this forum. My alt site for up to date information about Bitcoin is bitcoin site news like coindesk, cointelegraph, bitcoin magazine and i followed the news through twitter and facebook too.

I'm not really following the r/bitcoin, I just don't like reddit as a whole...
And about this forum... Just because there are no (at least, I haven't found any) decent alternatives I guess?

i do not support r/bitcoin until they are already stopped banning us for random reason.
lemme know what happened to the r/bitcoin ?
i have no idea, bitcointalk.org is much more freedom and less possibility of random post deletion.

I understand there is a lack of alternatives, and there is not a better place for up to date information.
But, in the light of Bitcoin and what it represents, neither of these platforms promote the same ideologies. So, just curious to reach out and ask why the community continues to visit these sites? What is your take? Would you move to another platform? What would it take? What are your favorite alternatives? And 170,000 odd subscribers, what # do you estimates is multiple user accounts (I personally have about 8 of those) and active Bitcoiners?

Anyone who has 8 accounts is clearly account farming and gets negative trust.
We just had an incident today where it was revealed that Quickseller was escrowing
for his own alts.

Well, this is the site to come if you want to be informed about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it has a lot of intelligent posters, and it seems that in every page there is a golden nugget of knowledge ready to be picked up.

I have been a miner since 2011 and I find the Mining and Technical discussion sections very informative. This is why I continue to visit this forum. You can't find the wealth of information that you can find here elsewhere.
As for the Bitcoin Discussion section, to be honest, I consider it to be mostly chit-chat and not to be taken seriously anymore these days. For technical reasons, I am against BIP101, so maybe I am don't feel the alleged censorship as others who are for this BIP might.

Mine was introduce by an employer. Since then i like to hangout in here. I didn't usually make a post. So i stay newbie after a year.
As for the issue in resizing the blockchain. You can share you thoughts here http://coin-vote.com/poll/55e8a33299baadff0a34acb7 I think it is also relevant.

I continue to use bitcointalk since it is the go-to place for most bitcoin discussion and the fact that I don't understand reddit. I find the development and technical discussion subforum to be very helpful and very insightful into proposed changes and new ideas on how to do things.
The marketplace section is also a place I like to frequent and that section makes me money from people who want coding work done.
and of course, sig campaigns

What do you think Bitcoin represents? It is impossible to understand your argument if you don't clarify this.
I have thought of leaving the forum because of the numerous garbage and troll posts that appeared in the last couple of years, but not because of ideological reasons.
Consensus, decentralization and innovation. All of which rely on discussion and debate in an open unbias environment to produce effective results and work in a positive direction.

Cool to note. I can definitely see where you are coming from on those topics, not my forte, but seems like the right place to be learning.

They continue to be the biggest games in town. Reddit doesn't really compute for me. I think it's a shit way to construct discussion and there's no way to delve into historical posts unlike here.
I find the censorship aspect odious in the extreme but ultimately it's a private enterprise and they can do what the hell they like. Hopefully more hands off forums will emerge but I don't hold out much hope.

I'm OK w/ bitcointalk.org. I don't like reddit, but that's just me. I found my way here as a beginner back in the days when blockchain.info linked to threads here. I wonder why they stopped that?
I like the format here too vs. reddit. It's a little easier to explore topics at some length vs. reddit.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply!
I believe that if we have 1 main forum, everyone will see no point in making another because they will loose all of their stats and posts.
But, if you don't like it, make your own forum. No one is stopping you.

My thread is clearly a question to hear others thoughts on the subject. At what point in my post did I suggest I wasn't going to, wasn't capable of or had intention of creating one. Didn't simply asked for peoples feelings on the subject as you would do in a forum of discussion on a topic no? eat a dick.
