BitShares is perhaps going through a metamorphosis into it's next stage.

What the hell is "preview of recent posts?" I don't get it ???

[Tuck Fheman]

"PR" in Chinese apparently means "abandon all forms of communication"

It's become harder to engage the forum now the preview of recent posts was removed. Still unclear who did that and why but there's been no obvious response in the Meta thread.. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=13311.0

i've contacted Bitsapphire about ...

[nomoreheroes7]

Lol I like how "PR" in Chinese apparently means "abandon all forms of communication"...seriously, how is this supposed to instill investor confidence again??

The silence is deafening lately.

I mean, come on, forum-goers are obviously concerned that the devs are being "muzzled" and "gagged"...a proper "PR" move would be to talk to these people, explain what's going on, why it's not as bad as it seems, etc etc. But just straight up silence? Ain't gonna cut it.

Also, I'm not liking the move to PR when BitShares is only at 0.6#.. if devs must be muffled, then wait till 0.9 or v1.0 for the 'normal' PR speak dull sales-message-only default. A little difference among devs is a sign they are engaged. A move to PR looks weak to me, especially given that no PR I've seen has delivered. Perhaps a symptom of talk where there is no product yet but still if BitShares is to find its way and navigate through choppy waters, better than any other random offering that hides its activity behind marketing, then it needs to be adhering to what makes Blockchain technology work.. transparency is part of that.

...one that invites more community participation.

Like a community that only participates by posting goofy animated gifs (no text at all) until Dan responds with an 18 paragraph single thought off the top of his head which might just change teh future as we know it for the better.

It doesn't even necessarily have to do with BitShares. It could be about how to make butter even better (seriously, think of all of the uses ... and that taste on <insert regional breakfast delicacy which you enjoy slathering with butter>!)

Anyone else notice how slow this forum has gotten?  We are now down to like 10 English posters... It's too bad because this used to be a hotbed for bitshares conversation...

Without the devs' participation (due to gag order), the rest can still contribute to this forum.

Yeh but the devs and innovators are the ones that bring people to the forums and our community.  I still am on record disagreeing with the approach being taken, but it is part of the growing process to make big strategic mistakes and have to learn from them the hard way.

BitShares as a project is a winner either way imho, but there is probably a better way to do it...one that invites more community participation.

Don't worry though, we are evolving.

[Tuck Fheman]

Seriously, I was.

It's why most of us came here (assumption pulled from teh ethers).

I feel like I was invited to see Dita Von Teese and instead got Abe Van Helsing (you know, because the life has been sucked out of the forum and Abe's been asked to solve teh mystery).

Issue created thx!

[hpenvy2]

I don't need developer chat in the forums, what I need is something similar to this roadmap:

http://maidsafe.net/roadmap

Easy way to keep people up to date that don't live community forums.

[xeroc]

The end of an era may be upon us. BitShares is perhaps going through a metamorphosis into it's next stage. I get the impression there is now significant pressure for BitShares to mature in it's approach to the world.
It's a bit sad to say goodbye to childhood, but ahead lie all the opportunities which come with adulthood.

I'm imagining looking back on these times with great fondness and nostalgia. "Remember when we were a small community flying by the seat of our pants?"

The great thing is we were all here to see and live it!

I have been speaking prematurely here, I know, but does anyone else think the writing is on the wall?
Make sure you all relish the time we still have together before BitShares grows too big! :P

As much as I've enjoyed reading the forum to find out & discuss what's happening, I think a little less of that is positive for BitShares. The thing is largely built now and we don't need the sorts of debates about its structure that we once had. BitShares will soon be moving beyond its developmental stage.

What I really miss is all the threads talking about how rich we all are going to be ;)!

Oh yes, that will come. In time, we'll all be wealthy AND take over the world of finance. Not joking!

while Bitshares github is moving super slow, DRK just released a new update: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/v0-11-2-x-testing.4202/

You should take a look at the develop branch of bitshares .. also take a look at the bitshares-js repo and others .. I dont see that slow development

[btswildpig]

to be fair , it's not the same work load ....... DRK is a much simpler project ,

I like it .. I finally can go back to "read ever new post" .. 6 weeks ago this was impossible :)

+5% It was a full time job just keeping up. : )

yup exactly :) 

[bluebit]

I like it that the devs aren't posting on these forums, some spend way to much time in here reading and posting when they could be working with the money that the shareholders paid them. I'm always keeping an eye on the Bitshares Github. When I see very little progress, I see a project that is going nowhere.

It's the combination of the recent downturn in price and a deliberate effort on the part of the developers to spend less time here I guess.

And Bter.

I agree that an active community is vital to a crypto, but let me quote this one:

I think this is great, but I dont understand all the secrecy surrounding this. Maybe you cant share everything, but i think the vast majority of the details should be available for debate in this public forum.

We have a tendency to talk more than the Golden Girls on this forum.  I like the fact that Gentso is taking action and willing to discuss implementation if serious investors are willing to back it.

Fresh blood is even more vital in my opinion, so if you feel this forum goes south, advertise bitshares in other communities :)

[btswildpig]

Isn't this new PR person suppose to be doing actual PR?  I haven't heard one word about bts since Dan and the dev's were gagged

Was there an actual gagging? What was the post ?

I see posts made by some of the core devs these days .
In fact , The first thread of this board is made by a core dev about the update of web wallet .

Yup, I miss the action as well. And BM's posts in general.

It's all good, unless Janet Yellen is the brewmeister.

I think it's a good thing really, let things settle down a little and get more stable, and set up a real outlet for press announcements instead of running everything by the forum. My 0.02 bitUSD..
