Hey, nice new forum. Just wondering why you chose the name of a respected and long running podcast, Monerotalk and Monerotopia with Douglas Tuman, for your forum when you have absolutely zero affiliation with it. Seems kinda scammy imo. Are you trying to piggyback off their reputation?

Pretty sure it was influenced by bitcointalk.org, which is a common thing in the Monero community and probably most other cryptos as well - like r/moneromeansmoney is a spinoff of r/bitcoinmeansmoney and I'm sure r/btctrader > r/xmrtrader as well.. Hell it's probably where the podcast got its name from too!

Then why didn't they choose a different name instead of trying to piggyback on the reputation of an established member of the community. Seems scammy as fuck to me and I know for a fact that this doesn't have Doug or Sunita's blessing.

Again, seems scammy as fuck, and the real Monerotalks reputation could be damaged by bad actors pushing bullshit. Two day old reddit account promoting a domain purchased not even a year ago and registered anonymously. Why.

There's no r/bitcoinmeansmoney and no r/btctrader either, what are you talking about?

My bad! It was r/bitcoinismoney but it looks like r/moneroismoney was already taken and whoever made r/moneromeansmoney didn't want to play Reddits game of dead-sub-revival. Also there was r/btctraders but it was banned - and I guess because of that r/btctrader was made private so it didn't get nuked for whatever reason too.. Cmon, this was all a few googles away. What are we even arguing about here?
