I don't know how you can say it is a clone of Bitcointalk, nothing is close to Bitcointalk. Maybe you haven't seen any other crypto-related forum except Bitcointalk. There are many crypto forums are available, some are almost similar to bitcointalk, but no one cloned of it. You may have a look at Altcointalk, Litecointalk, Bitcoingarden, Cryptotalk and so on for better knowledge.
Yeah, when we do talk about cloning then it should really looks like the same but this one doesnt really looks like bitcoin,maybe he do
mean about being a crypto forum and as you said there were lots of them already but none of them do able to get toe to toe into this
forum if we do based up on traffic.It cant be beat down easily on a place where the bitcoin creator had made.Its not bad for them to
start up a new forum though but they should know that beating up this one is almost impossible.
