Why did the forum pool so much BTC together instead of working on the project open-source or in outsourcing with milestone agreements?
Epochtalk is open source. You can fix it up, run a demo, and we'll all pile on to make fun of it.
I'd consider looking into it if it wasn't built on some godawful server-side javascript framework, but for someone who knows that shit or wants to learn, it might be an interesting project, or a complete waste of time.
