Rename Cryptography, Encryption, Decryption forum to crypter marketplace - IpSiety - Apr 3, 2015
That's really all it is. This section has almost nothing to do with the study of the science of cryptography itself. There's no tutorial threads on the beginnings of cryptography. NO mention of early ciphers and codes
Atbash
Caesar cipher
substitution ciphers
Rot13
Rot1
vinegere cipher
Morse code.
It doesn't even explain how cryptography functions really. I rarely visit this section because it most of the time has no value at all.

Honestly, there is no need to rename it. Just because a forum is hugely dedicated to one thing doesn't mean it needs renaming.
It's like the Virtual Item Marketplace should be renamed to Counter Strike Marketplace, there is really no point.

Lol, I can relate. A better idea would be to have two sub-forums. One for the crypters (tools) and one for the talk about cryptography, encryption, decryption, cracking hashes, etc.

I mean when a forum that is dedicated to cryptography, encryption, and decryption isn't even interested in the actual science behind it, there is a problem. I understand where you are coming frorm though.
A crypter is a product, a program. It does not detail in anyway the science behind it works. If you ask the average member that goes through the forum and asked how the crypter works it would go along this convo.
"well the program takes your virus and encrypts it."
"yes but how does it do that? Like what type of code system."
"Idk man, just buy it."
Just think about it. When was the last time you even saw the three words mentioned in the forum title in a thread within there?

I again do see your point however, since the discussion of how crypters work and shit is very low, there is no point in having another Forum set up for it, and since having it combined with a "Busy" forum, there is the possibility for you to actually have that discussion in there, not removing the posibility of the discussion, but also not having an empty forum about it.
