Anything created after the BitcoinTalk forum with similar functions can be called a replica of the product, as is usually called a fake. The altcoin forum already says that there cannot be much useful there, since we know the attitude of many to such coins; moreover, the desire to take some amounts for every breath and exhalation only proves that that forum does not reach the power of our forum. I watched it but did not want to be there for a minute. You should always appreciate originality; replicas or copies cannot be exact-there will always be a quality mark on the original.
In this case - I totally agree with you. Altcointalk is a forum that was created after bitcointalk was established and unshakeable - its purpose is the same as a discussion place, but there are many lack that make many of bitcointalk's members uncomfortable to be there even for a short time. I have personally been there to review and just know - but to be honest, I don't like it.
The main focus of altcointalk is basically for altcoins - but not limited to bitcoin and other discussions. Bitcointalk is much better and organized - even if mixers have been banned so far. There are many mixer projects on altcointalk as far as I know - but bitcointalk has banned them.
