Two years+ ago when i joined this forum, there were few active members. But many good contributors, members and moderators's contribution to this forum has pulled it now on 2nd rank in cryptocurrency forum.
Nice observation, though I think there are technically less active users than there were in the peak and top of the altcoin bull run a few years ago. However there are many more higher ranking members that are active here, and less lower ranking it seems. I remember when it seemed most members were Jr/Member, and now the average active member seems to be more Sr/Hero. Because a lot of noobs left and a lot of higher ranking members stayed basically.
This isn't a bad thing either, the quality of discussion as notably increased, there are a lot les spammers and plagiarists now, as well as more of a closer community that knows each other quite well. One that has been formed for 3 years now.
Now Altcoinstalks forum is huge crowed and our admin is very very innovative. I personally want to thank him for his innovative ideas and thoughts that he produces regularly for the betterment of this forum. As a result, everyday we are getting a lot of new members here. Many bounty managers are coming with their bounty service here seeing the popularity of this forum. Recently with Teleported rank, we have received many high rank members here from bitcointalk forum.
I'm also very pleased to see the innovation especially with teleport rank, it's great to see higher ranking members from other forums join our community here, it's unsurprising that some bounty managers teleported here as well

Hopefully admin can continue innovating in such a manner.
I hope within few years, this forum will be a challenge for Bitcointalk. Do you agree with this point of view?
I don't think we'll ever compete with bitcointalk, that's for the likes or bitcoingarden or other bitcoin-orientated forums. For AltcoinsTalks, we compete with altcoin forums. If you google "altcoin forum", then I think you'll find we're already the most popular there is
