Clone how this become a clone it's using a different script it's not an SMF script and they did not copy categories coming from Bitcointalk, this is very much different I think OP do not understand the words "clone", in the past there are forums that are created to clone Bitcointalk.
yeah on the past but even until now there are sites that are much worster than this one where they copy the whole concept of bitcointalk from the script , categories , also they conduct pay to post but thier rates were only lower and i think no one can beat the pay rate existed on this forum .
thats one of the reason why users on here cant move anywhere which makes bitcointalk still the number one crypto/bitcoin forum .
