I could see a dedicated Blackcoin forum being useful for organizing various work and projects. A single thread on bitcointalk has limited utility, especially when most the people on Slack don't have an account here. Occasionally news is posted here, but it seems mostly like a trollbox, it doesn't seem all that useful.
This forum is not as limited in its breadth of audience, every post appears on google for example. If we are part of a product wanting for it to propagate across the world, you want the ear of as many as possible even the entirely accidental viewer who knew nothing about blackcoin or even crypto. Especially you want those who wouldnt otherwise know or recognise this brand beyond a passing name in list, its pretty important in that respect.
A dedicated forum for more specialist talk sure but thats not the audience, most people will never have a clue what the heck is behind btc or blk or any other protocol its just what it means to them personally.
36 threads had replies in the last 12 minutes for this sub section, for comparison of traffic.
Growth has to encourage the plebs if anything, I must be one of them as every time my wallet stakes it never appears on the block chain explorer so I'm in disconnect somehow but its not apparent with any error. I guess I'll post a debug log on slack or search a previous similar problem but I do think its beneficial if people can get an answer here also, because the audience is different and we dont want to turn anyone away.

Ive added it to my shortcuts because I always miss it on my feed where this thread does pop up for me, my fault no doubt
I added some BLK here as Ive failed in various market many times to add to a rising price and most I had is from 2016 which is good as I used btc to buy computer parts. I presume BLK is in a consolidation range. In the medium term its kept a positive trend, its not as neat as btc can be which I might upset some people as btc is volatile but it does follow chart patterns often anyway BLK short term is sideways which is fine also hence my add. BTC keeps a positive trend medium term.
