I am not sure why people are still reluctant to move over to getmonero forum. It is so much better than bitcointalk.
Some new users are attracted here, but they can also be reached from Reddit, Twitter etc. I think the more contact with potential new users the better, but we should not rely on bitcointalk as the primary focus point long term.

I don't need yet another site to check. Plus the format is, umm (*puts on diplomatic hat*), not to my taste. And reddit is full of retards.
This forum, the home of Satoshi, is the e-cash mothership. For better or worse; like it or not.

I like the Monero Forum for resource gathering, but for interaction, I like HERE--it has more of a conversational feel, while the Monero....Why bother explaining; it's in the etymology.
-forum (n.)
mid-15c., "place of assembly in ancient Rome," from Latin forum "marketplace, open space, public place," apparently akin to foris, foras "out of doors, outside," from PIE root *dhwer- "door, doorway" (see door). Sense of "assembly, place for public discussion" first recorded 1680s.
-talk (n.)
late 15c., "speech, discourse, conversation," from talk (v.). Meaning "informal lecture or address" is from 1859. Meaning "a subject of gossip" is from 1620s (in talk of the town). Talk show first recorded 1965; talk radio is from 1985.
-talk (v.)
c. 1200, talken, probably a diminutive or frequentative form related to Middle English tale "story," and ultimately from the same source as tale, with rare English formative -k (compare hark from hear, stalk from steal, smirk from smile) and replacing that word as a verb. East Frisian has talken "to talk, chatter, whisper." Related: Talked; talking.
To talk (something) up "discuss in order to promote" is from 1722.
