Title: What subforums should be removed ?
Post by: admin on January 19, 2024, 12:47:15 PM
what subsections of the forum should be removed ?

I am in the process of restructuring the forum
what sections you think should be removed ?


PS:I might or might not follow your advise.
I need feedback, not pressure, thus please present your opinion in a friendly way.

I think the first one to delete should be Ask Crypto Experts as that one doesn't have any posts and isn't need either on this forum. Most of the people who make threads or reply to a thread are already experts of crypto to some extent and creating extra board for such people isn't necessary. Crypto Gigs or Tasks [Offers / Requests] should be merged into Marketplace board as a sub board.

As a general rule, any subforums that did not receive topics during the past year should be deleted, and any subforum that did not receive a response during the last 6 or 3 months should be archived.
You can modify the calendars as you see fit.

Simple examples:

https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=384.0
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=404.0
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=320.0

Then you can rename new boards.

I welcome this initiative.
You caught us a little off guard, we didn't expect you to be ready for such a big undertaking  ;)

First, I would pay attention and restructure the boards a little, because now they somehow introduce confusion. So, for example, I would make the "cryptocurrency ecosystem" board the primary part of the forum (currently it seems that it is "bounty & earning").
Also, it would be good to separate a part of the Bitcoin forum and things related to Bitcoin.
It somehow seems unnatural to me that Bitcoin, various altcoins, exchanges, wallets, ANN's... are in the same section.

"crypto discussions" and "further discussions" ("news" also probably) can be folded into one board. I think is not a lot of discussion there, and some of them are very similar. I would remove those that have negligible reach.
ANN should be two separate threads, crypto services and new tokens/coins. now it's a bit confusing
I'm not sure that many subboards are needed for forum-related stuff. Two or three are enough, it's all a similar topic, it just requires us to go deeper on the board.

"Earning" section had 8 subboards, And they are all very similar, almost the same topic. What is the difference between "Bounties & Rewards" & "Micro Crypto Giveaways" & "Crypto Raffle / Lottery" and they take up a large part of my screen. At the same time, "Micro Crypto Giveaways" & "Crypto Raffle / Lottery" have only a little over 200 posts for all time. If we exclude admin's posts, it remains that very few members participated there. And maybe the problem is that there are too many bounty/giveaway/lottery threads, so users simply didn't check everything.

We have "Cryptocurrency Trading" here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=132.0 even if there is a dedicated board "Trading & Traders". I would put this together, probably T&T inside Cryptocurrency Trading

I will probably find some more, just the first impression.

Micro Crypto Giveaways (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=375.0)[/b][/b][/font]
Communities & Groups (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=485.0)[/size][/b][/font][/b][/size]

You can also group many other sections into one, especially if they don't have much activity for longer period of time.
I would really appreciate ability to hide each boards I am not using, for example I want to hide only Chinese and Urdu local boards, or EOS and Stellar boards.[/size]


ANN for mixers and other services should be in separate place from altcoin and token ANN topics.
Maybe best to add new sub board for new tokens, and move old ones there.

Here are my short suggestions,

1. "Basic questions about this forum" could be either removed or moved under "Forum related".
2. I find topic created on "Basic Questions about Cryptos" and "Further Education" very similar. IMO it should be merged where one of them is removed.
3. "Bitcoin Gold" should be removed since it has no activity since 2022 (i exclude 3 necroposting). I also created a new thread asking whether BTG is dying (with some data), but there's no reply so far.

Sorry Admin, this might be out of topic but I hope this will be even more colorful as the rainbow is present after the rain stops.
See the symbol for the subforum "Welcome, Come Say Hi!" (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=307.0) , the symbol is the same as the "Marketplace & Bitcoin Services". (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=494.0)

If I see from my point of view, this is a very far difference, between members who have just entered the forum with a comparison of trade experts, mining, bitcoin services etc.

My advice, can the Admin change the symbol of the subforum "Marketplace & Bitcoin Services" (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=494.0) with a more unique symbol??
Maybe like the Bitcoin symbol or whatever the like that is more colorful like the flower in the park. Thank you.   ;)

Crypto Gigs or Tasks [Offers / Requests],  For Beginners is already there so Remove Welcome, come say hi !, Communities & Groups, all the countries have their local board or language so there is no need for this. And this General Discussion should be removed from where it is and take it to the first column of the page. Quarantine & Test Area the above are some of the boards that need to be removed and some of them are like duplicate.

General Discussion is a kind of off topic board where mostly all topics can be discussed. So, no, it shouldn't be placed at the first lines of sections, because off topic sections are never first on any forum. :)

Post by: BitMaxz on January 19, 2024, 04:27:37 PM
How about removing the Bitcoin mining on the Cryptocurrency mining section or instead moving it to the Bitcoin forum section instead it would be easier to find. Or I think each coin section has it's own mining sub-section it should be easier to navigate there while browsing on the specific coin we want.

I also agree with Agbe that this section "Quarantine & Test Area" must be removed since we already have a trash section that is the best section for testing threads.

I agree about the sections and subs of it that didnt get a lot of replies like Crypto influencers, airdrop alerts which can be merged with airdrops & giveaways. I think with all of sorr like this wherein a section is likely a duplicate of another section. You can just remove the other and merge it with the one that has most visitors, admin.
Title: Re: What subforums should be removed ?
Post by: bayu7adi on January 19, 2024, 05:52:17 PM
The general idea is to see which sub boards are not of interest (small number of topics, few posts and very minimal views). This could happen because there is already a similar board existing, so instead of deleting it, perhaps transferring it or merging the board could be done too. Or whatever you do at least make this forum more slim I think it can make users more comfortable

After I glanced at the list, there were several that needed to be evaluated
1 - Communities & Groups >> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=485.0
2 - Crypto Council >> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=378.0
3 - Crypto Influencer >> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=377.0
4 - Crypto Raffle >> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=382.0
5 - Micro Strategy >> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=375.0
6 - Ask Crypto Expert >> https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=375.0

Just reading that you want to restructure here only has given me a great deal of joy. There are many boards and sub boards honestly. I know that as an admin you already have sub boards you wish to remove. Left for me, I would say you should just remove 80% of these sub boards or boards and maybe reintroduce them on request by many.
Fewer board will encourage engagement and as well help optimization.

Most of the time I would agree with this, but the forum hasn't been very active in past months, so I would have a grace period to see what transpires in sections. Yes some need removed, but not all IMO. I would start with comparing stats from 3 months ago to stats in sections now.

Some boards should not display signatures from most members at all, to reduce spam and to avoid abuse of signature campaigns.
Campaign managers could include more boards in future if they notice stuff going in that direction.

This initiative is good though but I think there are some boards that are better merged together than removed or let to be on their own. I had  to go through to see for myself and below are some boards I think should be merged together either as a whole or child board.

  Crypto Raffle / Lottery;  https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=382.0 should be merged or put in the child board of
  Airdrops & Giveaways [FREE]; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=60.0

 Crypto Gigs or Tasks [Offers / Requests]; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=52.0  should be a childboard under the;
 Marketplace & Bitcoin Services; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=2.0

Airdrops & Giveaways [FREE]; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=60.0 this thread should be in the child board of
Bounties & Rewards [BOUNTY]; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=22.0


For Beginners; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=59.0 this thread should be merged into  Further Education; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=275.0

The altcoin should all be merged in one board having Altcoin as the head or thread title.


Community Coins & Tokens; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=352.0 this thread should be merged with 
Communities & Groups; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=485.0



The below board should be removed
  Micro Crypto Giveaways; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=375.0

Welcome, come say hi !;  https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=307.0  this thread should be removed or if deemed necessary, it be merged with  For Beginners and Further Education as a child board.

Ok, good to know... I don't think here is matured yet to have boards where signature does not appear. If such boards exist, they will be as silent as a grave yard.

For Beginners; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=59.0 this thread should be merged into  Further Education; https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=275.0
This is among the most important boards here, if removed, where will beginners discuss.?

why should it be deleted? I don't think all the members here are people who understand like you who moved from Bitcointalk to Altcointalk. If you want to give suggestions, maybe you can provide additional functions or something else, don't delete the ones that have been there since you were here.

I want to see Further Education board removed or moved and integrated with some other board.
What's your reason?
It is a specific board to use for education. Meanwhile other 2 subboards are for common discussions.

Same thing should be done for Cryptocurrency discussions board.
Do you want this board to be removed? Where we discuss crypto in general?
Not every issue/matter related to a specific coin, sometimes it is a general issue. We need a place that covers this.

Gambling board should have one sub board Games and Rounds or something for prediction competitions.
Looks like there used to be sub board "games and rounds" in gambling board. But it disappears, it is probably because there is no many topics there. It is just like a dead board. By the way, if you want to hold a competition or contest, you can share it here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=85.0.

Topics in further education appear to me as off topic.
How can it be viewed as off topic? Every topic in Further Education is related to basic knowledge for beginners.

I don't think here is matured yet to have boards where signature does not appear. If such boards exist, they will be as silent as a grave yard.
Agree.

why should it be deleted? I don't think all the members here are people who understand like you who moved from Bitcointalk to Altcointalk. If you want to give suggestions, maybe you can provide additional functions or something else, don't delete the ones that have been there since you were here.
Admin knows it. He will accept useful/reasonable suggestion but he will refuse unnecessary ones.

I agree that we don't need to adopt every thing in bitcointalk forum. We just need to adjust what is necessary to improve. Removing some boards and adding new boards are something normal, but it must be based on a deep consideration. It shouldn't too easy to do, I can't imagine if it does everyday/weeks.

Post by: Jamal Aezaz on January 20, 2024, 10:14:43 AM
As I adviced before in the live chat . I think boards for each Altcoins need to be merged into one Big Altcoin Board. Or can be Divided between Two Like One for Coins and Blockchains and One for Tokens and Assets.

I think the first one to delete should be Ask Crypto Experts as that one doesn't have any posts and isn't need either on this forum. Most of the people who make threads or reply to a thread are already experts of crypto to some extent and creating extra board for such people isn't necessary. Crypto Gigs or Tasks [Offers / Requests] should be merged into Marketplace board as a sub board.
Plus there is not any actual crypto experts out there.. I don't think anyone could claim to be a real Crypto expert if he's actually sincere.. only scammers can make such claims.
Besides we have Beginners section. which I think pretty much suits this category as well.

Restructuring serves precisely that. It is possible that the title of this thread is not the most appropriate, since I think it would be better to merge some subforums with others, not delete them, since by eliminating them interesting posts and ideas could be lost. The problem is that the information is very dispersed, or so some users have said.

Reorganizing and trying to compact the subforums without losing information would be the most appropriate to have greater accessibility and results. But it won't be easy, first you have to be clear about which subforums will be affected and then organize everything, something that will take a lot of time for the administrator.

To be honest with you all and to the admin as well, this is a well over due development, there are way too many boards and sub boards that sometimes, finding where to post seems like a hassle, and the most annoying part is that, many of this boards and sub boards are of no significance, as what are being discussed there are also being discussed on another board.

I am just coming across this thread, I have some, at least more than five or six board and sub board I would suggest to be completely removed, but I need to go back and make a proper list of them, I am posting this comment as a quick one and also a reminder for me just incase I forget.
But still, while I rush off to make my list, one board that immediately came to my mind and I am suggesting it be deleted in the "Women in crypto" board, I don't know about any other person but to me, that board  is adding no single value to this forum, what ever the women on this forum are discussing in that board is also being discussed, or can be discussed on any other board outside that board.

Oh wow you are trying to forget history.
This women subforum has been around for a long time and this makes me amazed to be in the women's subforum.
Look at this reference (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=76753.0), Admin wrote the first topic on November 24 2018, is that not enough value for you?
Even if you were on the altcoinstalks forum at that time, maybe you had already run somewhere and now you come and suggest it to the admin to delete it? It is very funny !

Women can also express themselves in the cryptocurrency space, this is what differentiates altcoinstalks from other forums which may not provide subforums for women.
Look at the badge we have, it is pink and has a different identity than the others on this forum.
Getting this badge is very difficult, requires verification and requires the admin to think 5x or even 10x to be able to give this pink badge.

See this topic
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314992.0), I try to make a list for a women's club, even for me it needs a lot of time to try to write this topic.
I try their pm one by one to be present in the list of topics, and you want to suggest to the admin to delete it?
Come on, friend, you have to be gentleman!

I like your enthusiasm toward this platform, you are very active and cooperative, Together we can make this forum a better place, I will share my suggest and It might be shared by someone else or you may not like it, but hey its all your decision to make. And I am OK with it. The first thing I faced is big amounts of sections that I don't like and even find some repetitive. For example:



And you just added further question section in the Beginner and Help section which was not needed there. Because beginners will have only two types of questions, one for the forum and another for the cryptocurrency.

I can talk about 10+ excessive sections which are doing nothing but only laying there, means there removal will not effect anything at all.

Well, it's a good initiative by @admin, it's time for the forum to look a bit less congested. For me , there are lots of similar boards which I think should first be compressed. Going through all the boards and subsections, you will find some of these discussion boards with different name but most of them having similar or same purposes. Admin should try his best to find such boards and combine them. Board like the Advertise Your Stuff and the market place shouldn't be separated since they both involve buying, selling and advertising your business.

I believe we have beginners board or thread which serves the same purpose as well but however, there are local boards were in one can do introduce themselves as a newbie here to get help and be known by his or her fellow locals so I do not see any point bringing it up again on the general board but however if it is deemed necessary then it can be merged to beginners board too which is quite alright.

These are the section I think should be removed because no one is interested due to poor performance or

1: Stellar forum
 https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=163.0
Reason: No update from Stellar and ecosystem is losing community.

2: All sub section in Other Popular Cryptos / Coins
should be removed and add currently popular coins such as Arbitrum, Optimism

3: Crypto Wallets: Need some more crypto wallets sub section such as Safepal, bitget,OKX wallet, Rainbow wallet and especially Hard wallet

Some of the boards or sections that people are saying to be removed are good oh. Well the admin said he might accept and reject so there is no big deal Here. Though most of the sections is not really good for the forum. I will not mention the once tht they said we should remove but ordinary they are good to stay.

In the "Crypto Assembly"  board, the sub board which I think should be removed is the Crypto Influencers (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=377.0), there have  not been any single post there and as the name implys, those influencer should possibly be like some of those YouTubers who post cryptocurrency content on YouTube and does that sub-board serve a purpose for them posting their videos?  I am asking because their is no description for that sub-board and there is not post too.

What's your problem, friend?
You just arrived at Altcoinstalks and you immediately suggested to delete the Women in Crypto subforum to the admin.
You should help us make the Women in Crypto Subforum more crowded and more active, but you recommend removing it, Oh My God!  :'(

Maybe this is a friend in your local forum (Roseline492) (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=97187) can give you a more detailed understanding and detailed about the subforum Women.
We built this Altcoinstalks forum, especially the subforum "Women in Crypto", has been a long time ago and we make it full of struggle.
You know what the meaning of "struggle" is?
Need energy, mind and time to be able to pass the making of "Women in Crypto" but you try to destroy it quickly, I think you are not friendly! :'(

Your observation is not far away. Your insight is less extensive.
You just came to the forum and immediately gave a statement that hurts us. :(
We also have a different community from other members, the concept is the same but we have KYC, badge, subforum that is different from other members.
This is what differentiates altcoinstalks from other forums!

See this reference at -> https://www.altcounstalks.com/index.php?topic=47502, this topic I discussed since September 10, 2018, do you know how many years ago? Yes, that's 6 years ago!
Then the admin made an idea of making subforum women in crypto and we set it up with various considerations from various other members.
See this evidence -> https://www.altoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=76753.0, that is the result of our observations with other friends and the admin makes the Women in Crypto subforum, this topic is made in November 24, 2018, You know how many years ago? Yes, that's 6 years ago!

You know that 6 years is not a short time!
We spent all that with tears, time, mind and various energy in order to maintain the subforum women in crypto.


You just came to the forum and gave advice to the admin to delete the Women in Crypto subforum?
We struggled for 6 years which was full of struggle and you destroyed the dream!
Your advice is for us too absurd and hurts our hearts! :(

Lolz, I am always a friend dear, and I am sincerely sorry if my suggestion hurt your feeling like I see it actually does.
Like you already know, my saying to the admin to delete the women in crypto sub-board is just a suggestion, my own suggestion based on what I personal have seen and think, and like it is commonly said, we are all entitled to our opinions.

My suggesting to the admin to delete the women in crypto board is not a command, the admin is still open to more suggestions and what you have to do is tell the admin why he should not delete the said board, and the admin is always the one with the final decision to make.

To start, I think your “joke” is totally out of line and highly inappropriate. I think saying "men can't post in that section" is just an excuse. You also cannot post to hidden admin subforums, but you don't complain about that. I humbly think that all this has already gone too far @Fivestar4everMVP.

With a simple apology all this would have ended much sooner and we would not have seen this shameful spectacle.

Let's try to maintain a pleasant atmosphere. Please.

Your observation is not far away. Your insight is less extensive.
You just came to the forum and immediately gave a statement that hurts us. :(
We also have a different community from other members, the concept is the same but we have KYC, badge, subforum that is different from other members.
This is what differentiates altcoinstalks from other forums!

See this reference at -> https://www.altcounstalks.com/index.php?topic=47502, this topic I discussed since September 10, 2018, do you know how many years ago? Yes, that's 6 years ago!
Then the admin made an idea of making subforum women in crypto and we set it up with various considerations from various other members.
See this evidence -> https://www.altoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=76753.0, that is the result of our observations with other friends and the admin makes the Women in Crypto subforum, this topic is made in November 24, 2018, You know how many years ago? Yes, that's 6 years ago!

You know that 6 years is not a short time!
We spent all that with tears, time, mind and various energy in order to maintain the subforum women in crypto.


You just came to the forum and gave advice to the admin to delete the Women in Crypto subforum?
We struggled for 6 years which was full of struggle and you destroyed the dream!
Your advice is for us too absurd and hurts our hearts! :(
Lolz again, you women are so dramatic, someone who's been here since 2020 just came to the forum right, is 4 years like yesterday to you? If you think I just came to this forum, then you also probably just came as well, check my profile and see when I signed up on this forum, don't be deceived by my teleport badge.

This account is actually my second account on this forum, my first account joined this forum 3 days after the forum came online, I remember admin making me a global moderator back then, but due to lack of activities here, I wasn't so active and later on, I lost the login details to that account, I had to create this one in 2020.

I am not new to this forum, you are 6 years old here, and I am 4 years old, and you consider me a Jonny just come? How funny 😂

Anyways, I don't know about the tears and struggle you guys went through to have that board up, what matters, and I think is the most important thing is, what benefit is that board bringing to the forum? How many people are posting there? What is being discussed in that board that is not being discussed in other boards? Just a few questions among the many that I have.

You could merge the NFTs, Defi Tokens (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=373.0), and Gamefi sections (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=450.0). I often find discussions about these three inter-connected.

No need to be apologetic about a solicited proposal/suggestion. Although I find it a little woke move then, that section should be fine as long as it's limited to women. I'm just hoping it won't lead to some alphabet warriors asking for a separate board.

Well, your excellency, and with all due respect sir, I was not joking when I suggested that the women in crypto board be deleted, and the keyword here is "Suggested", when has suggesting something become a crime that I have to apologize? Who am I to apologize to exactly?

And besides, I don't know when this bruhaha began, and neither do I know how long it has lasted, I personally just came online now and saw a few mentioned here, so I thought I should reply.

I have not offended anyone , I suggested what was on my mind like every one did, why should my own suggestion become an offense that will require an apology?

it was suggested a long time ago, before woke was a thing
anyway given the opposition to the idea the section will remain,
can we now focus on the other sections

Good initiative, this forum definitely needs a "spring cleaning" in order to be easier to navigate.

I will for now sustain from recommedning which subforums should go, but what I would like to see is an option to make it easier to ignore certain parts of the forum. For example, at the moment its impossible to ignore altcoin section without ignore Bitcoin subforum as well so something along those lines would be a welcomed addition.

I already noticed some visible changes which made the home page much cleaner to look at. From what I see, there are at least two boards that were merged into others. Big W to the admin.

I am advocating for this proposal since the day I teleported here  :) and I am sure we won't all agree what should or shouldn't be deleted, so giving us more customization would be great.
In bitcointalk forum I have set something similar with settings, ignored some boards I personally never use, and it's much easier to navigate.
There must be an option to do this in Altcoinstalks forum as it uses the same SMF as Bitcointalk forum:

If we are talking about ignoring certain boards, I would say that the situation is worse in the local board part, where I can turn off either all or none. So if I want to follow a local board that I understand, I have to have all the others as well.

Even when I set this part to ignore, the option "Show unread posts since last visit." shows them all.

Yep, same here, I have bunch of bitcointalk boards on ignore so current situation on altcointalk wa sa big shock to me when I saw all that chaos and so many boards for all sorts of things (including now bascially dead altcoins) so more flexible ignore otpions would be very welcomed.

I guess I just have to give it more time to adjust as I still keep getting lost around here.

I think ignoring Boards here is not recommendable because admin wants all the active boards to be visible and that is why he asked the public to tell him the boards to be removed. And also that ignore button that works well in bitcointalk might not in this forum for now because this is trying to be active and more populated or needs more traffic by users so creating the ignore might affect the forum. Let everyone and all boards should be visible for now. Then when the forum has gotten enough participants or users then more features would be added. Therefore for now I will also advocate for the removal of boards and not the ignoring of boards and users.

I really miss a watchboard feature.

Personally, I would just navigate in my watchboard and looking for new posts in the boards I like. And I would be adding new boards and removing some as time passes and I learn more about the forum...

admin, can we get an update on how things are developing here?
Perhaps which proposals are being considered, which have been adopted... I believe that if you have any doubts, maybe a discussion and additional suggestions would help.

It looks like admin already made several change without creating notice/announcement. For example, all threads created on "Further Education" moved to another board and "Further Education" now located under "For Beginners" while previously it was under "Learning & News".

I believe that deleting some subforums will reduce points, which may affect old members. the policy of vanishing points must be changed or a method should be reconsidered that does not make rank-up linked to the number of posts.

in bitcointalk there was activity which is linked to 1 post every two weeks, so you do not need to do more than that to maintain it. Finding something similar may be necessary before removing old subforums.

Admin please tell us your progress and what was deleted and moved so far in forum.
I saw few smaller changes but nothing major that would improve usability and navigation.

He can hide those subforums and make them invisible or move them in archive that wont reduce any points for members.
