Title: what about merging some boards? here are a few easy to merge boards
Post by: bitmover on May 08, 2024, 05:15:39 PM
This forum has way too much boards

I found those ones very easy to merge into one:

Bitcoin Forks
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=359.0

Inside this, we have 3 additional boards with very low activity: bch, big and bsv. Just move all topics to the forks board and delete those boards.

Ethereum
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=3.0
There are so many boards here: solidity, basics, Ethereum news, Eth Price (not even a board anymore, just a link to another board), eth tokens.

Just delete this link to eth price.
Basics board should just be moved to ethereum.

This way we have eliminated 2 boards.


Why do we have a binance connection and a binance smartchain forum?
It would be the same as having an ethereum and an Eth boards.

I find those duplicated boars just make harder to post, harder to find posts... this reduces interactive in the forum.

but redirection boards are to avoid people posting in wrong boards > thus even if it does not make much sense to have them , they are important

Probably this would be a place for them:
Once Popular Coins (Graveyard) (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=408.0)  ;D
I really like the "graveyard" thing, seems fitting, just move those three coins there and that's it!

Joking aside, they should be treated like normal altcoins, nobody really cares about forks anymore.

I forgot about the graveyard.

Just move IOTA and EOS there as well.

This board maintenance is important.

You are actually right, most of these boards aren't that necessary, they could be combined to one and if anyone wants to discuss issues relating to them, he can still discuss under the selected boards. I have always wondered why we have so many boards for some coins that aren't even in the market anymore or are less important. Though it's an altcoins forum but not all coins are relevant to create a board for. it just makes the whole forum a bit bulky.

But it is a waste of time and useless clutter for those who actively use the forum and know the appropriate place for certain topics. If we talk about the quality and usability of the forum, the same boards in several places certainly affect the quality reduction.

Also, there are too many very similar subboards, it seems to me that it is not a mistake to write the same thing in any part, where in the end everyone writes in the place that is visited more.

I am not for or against the redirection boards, but I do agree we have entirely too many boards here and people are just getting lost. I'd have to look through my post history to find the exact numbers, but this place has roughly 2x the boards that bitcointalk has. Yes, this is not bitcointalk and I am well aware of that, but we could use a reduction.

1 might also say that that's what mods are for as far as moving topics to appropriate places when it comes to redirection.

Not to open a new thread, but what are the chances that the "announcement board" is somehow divided into two parts, one for altcoins/tokens and similar, and the second for all other crypto-related services?
In addition to many subboards, we have a section where ANN from Mixer, exchanger and Puppy Coin Blockchain are equal.

It is best to focus on finding mods who have a good background about ETH/SOL/LTC and ready to manage good discussions there, @ Peter90 and @MRSPASYBO have good discussions here and I hope they have more permissions to make the forum better.


This reminds me of the former mod of the BTT mining board, although the board was very strict, but the percentage of purposeful discussions was very high and was one of the best boards of forum.

Merging different boards in this forum is a wet dream of many teleported members, but after some time I got used to the current order of things in this forum.
Few more improvements could be made but I don't want to keep repeating like a parrot and asking for the same things from admin.

If someone could fork this script for blocking threads in bitcointalk forum and make it work on altcoinstalks, this would ''fix'' many issues for me with boards:

OMG never, noticed the board numbers in the links, haha I mean this BTC fork board is the 359th board. Do we really have that many boards or they are just random numbers? I am talking about the number written in the end of the board link. Besides that, I agree with you, I don't think in the first place that these forks deserve a separate board, as they are already part of a BTC Fork board so why more boards in a board that is basically made for them? That's too much. I don't bother to surf all of them, I have bookmarked some and I regularly visit them only. 

You are doing a good work, please keep it up and clean all the additional boards which are unnecessary. It would be great to have sophisticated numbers of boards, maybe not like of BTT but maybe more sophisticated. I hope admin will consider your efforts.

I am still hoping to open up the forum one day and see that there are fewer boards because there are actually too many. When I first teleported to this forum, it was one of the things that I had to get used to because I discovered that the boards and the subsections were so many that some boards even did not have enough activities, or in some cases, it is just one person that has created the bulk of the topics there. 

There will be more active discussions in some boards if some other boards or sub boards are integrated into them

It's been a while since this was proposed but I guess there is not any change yet.

I am sure it's still confusing even for most members who are regularly visiting this forum or they just limited their participation to very limited boards so they don't care what's happening elsewhere. I suggest merging boards will bring more positive outcomes and new people might feel easy to navigate as well.

Yes, I agree with you. Since the beginning of my registration in the forum until now, I have not browsed all of the forum’s boards due to the large number of boards and sub-boards, some of which have not been active for more than a year.

I would like to merge these boards with low or almost no activity into one main board so that it is easier for users to browse the largest number of sections and see the latest activities. As I see most teleported members have the same outlook.

Two months have passed on this topic, days are running quickly. :o :o
The difference is that in Bitcontalk there are a lower number boards because basic discussions are about bitcoin and all altcoins are discussed in one board.


In my view, giving priority to specific boards is the most important.

You are right we should choose our interesting boards and spend most of the time there, important boards are the interesting ones, so we should be spending more time there but I sometimes lurk around here and there and find some good sections to learn new things. And the amazing thing is, when I click on a board I think it will be dead and I get shocked to see most of the members have been posting in that section for a long time. Then I realized I should not spend too much time on specific boards only and give some chance to others as well.

I did not notice that he is inactive maybe he is also ill like roysee, or he might be facing some issues I hope both will be here soon with their problems solved.

I agree with you, it's going to be much helpful to give high priority to specific boards that are useful ones. And, I believe something like Bitcointalk can be done here as well by making all those altcoins boards as child boards of Altcoin board.

He was active today on Btt, I guess it's just a matter of lack of time for both forums.
If he removed the signatures, it was certainly planned and he did not want to keep the slot in the campaign because he knew that he would be less active here.

Just taking a break for awhile guys. Kid just graduated High School and starts college in a month so we've been a bit busy getting everything ready. I'll be a bit more active next month most likely.

Yes, specifically Solana, since everyone is talking about it, you will find most of the discussions about the price and not the available investment opportunity or projects that are worth investing in.

Why a board like this exists?
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=59.0

We can't even post in it...

Isn't it time to review boards?

I log here everyday for months but I am still lost sometimes...

If you are talking about Further Education, I remember admin said that board is still under construction. Since that was sometime ago, it's probably not a priority to fix it.

I agree that this forum has a really large number of boards, unlike the BTT that many of us are used to - but it doesn't bother me personally, because I only visit those boards that I am interested in. However, there is no doubt that the forum could be optimized in this regard, and some say that this would bring certain benefits in terms of greater user interaction, and thus greater traffic and greater interest of advertisers in the forum.

I think the admin has his hands full with various things he's working on, and I'm not sure if he has any help with all of that, so we need to be patient.

THe problem is that you might be missing opportunities and good discussions, because someone may post an interesting topic in a dead board or maybe you are just unlucky and couldnt find a board which other users are posting a lot.

For example , Royse posted a nice campaign here in this board:

Crypto Gigs or Tasks (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=52.0)

I haven't visited that board a lot but I kind of agree with you that a coin like Solana should be discussed deeply and all the projects that are based on Solana especially the valuable projects based on Solana should be discussed deeply.

That's great! Good luck to all of you.

Crypto Gigs or Tasks (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=52.0)

The problem with these boards is that they are suitable for maybe just one or two topics, but the rest of the topics are such a bad fit for the board that you can start seeing topics from June, May, April, like that on the first page. And it kind of makes those boards in question into ghost towns that nobody uses. There are similar problems with a few other boards.

Honestly, I don't see that there will be many changes here, although it is evident that there are too many similar boards. What is even more interesting to me, although altcoinstalks has dedicated itself to bounty programs, there are very few of them, almost negligible. The good part is just copied and transferred from the Btt forum.
So the question is why it is insisted that bounties are exemplary topics and record the smallest activity. For example, Free money through the Mixtum raffle takes a long time to collect a sufficient number of participants.

I agree 100%....

there are more Bounties in BTT than here, and just one board for all of them.

I think there is a huge opportunity here since mixers came in. But I don't think the forum is getting the most possible benefit from it. All suggestions are basically ignored...
