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.

[Husires]

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.

this is a newly recreated section, not yet properly promoted
have plans for it

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[/b][/b][/font]
Communities & Groups[/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.

[ABCbits]

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!" , the symbol is the same as the "Marketplace & Bitcoin Services".

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" 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.

And this General Discussion should be removed from where it is and take it to the first column of the page.

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.

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.

[bhadz]

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.

[bayu7adi]

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.
