There's now a read-only demo of Epochtalk operating on live bitcointalk.org data which you can check out:
https://demo.epochtalk.comI had to double-check the date to make sure it wasn’t April 1st.
I couldn’t test it on my laptop because Kaspersky kept blocking it, reporting it as a "Newly Observed Domain."
I’m not sure why, considering that epochtalk.com has been registered since 2014 and demo.epochtalk.com is just a subdomain.
Anyway, I was able to access it via mobile, but oh boy, it was loading so much slower than Bitcointalk. I understand that demo.epochtalk.com might be running on limited resources, so I decided to leave it for now and try accessing it later on my laptop again.
Note that the demo is temporarily down. This will probably happen from time to time.
Will test it again once it up.
