Solely depending on social media sites to release info is a bad choice imo.
Why do it when we can have our own platform?

Also thanks for the idea regarding paid posts,stickies, groups and more.
This will be a good way to sustain the community without drilling a hole in my pocket.

I wish the admins here took a look into this.

Reminds me of 1999 - thats whats wrong with the forum
I have always referred people to bitcointalk when they ask me about bitcoins and the sheer number of junk/un-formatted way of displaying things leaves people confused

we have to realize we are growing beyond tech-enthusiasts.
What we use will soon be used by the common man -that is when something like Diaspora can help
Easy to login with social media logins (or they can make an account)
Easy to search through - and it feels a lot like your average social media site -WITH the features of a good forum

I am looking to completely revamp user experiences and switch servers to mine (ofcourse admins will have complete access)
My servers are ddos protected, have 99.9999 percent redundancy and can be hosted across the world.
Hosting at multiple locations - > faster load up times.


I think the complete site (bitsharestalk.org) needs a revamp. As you can see - the newbies section is filling up and we should boot up to accomodate people from outside bitcoin world

If you guys re in need of servers I'd be willing to donate some of mine

There goes another bounty  :|

Hey guys

I have been looking at ways to give back to the forum lately.
Always been bashing and calling out the team here at Bitshares without having done my bit (except for mining and then blowing a horde of it up).
I'd like to propose the setting up of an official IRC server if the forum would like one.
I know we have one at http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml - but I guess its not the official one.

I'd like to ask the forum if they'd like an official IRC server hosted solely for the purpose of interactions and discussions. We can have multiple rooms within for multiple topics. It would be a great way to help newbies with their little doubts and have people feel more welcome.

I'd like to donate a server for a complete year for the same cause.
BTS admins would be given complete root access and welcome as admins.
If you guys would like to have something like this - do let me know.

I am looking for people who can help with technical aspects of the same.
If you'd like to help - hit me up.

Regards
Zookerburg

If anyone feels kind enough to part away with a few pts to help me get back on track - let me know . Not begging - but oh well , I don't mind crowdfunding my way back to  recovery
If there's any business opportunities I can work together with you on - Let me know.

What I can bring to the table

>PR and massive business relations in an upcoming market that is completely untapped
>Massive server power

I am looking to recover atleast 10k back (although at current market prices the 1k PTS is worth 18,000 USD) - and get back in the game.
Everyone has their rise and fall - I fell a bit too hard I guess.

I have pm'ed you bytemaster- please take a look
