You compare jamii forums and ktalk, nothing much to mention. But jamii has admin who have offices in Dodoma. Very professional. So what really happened to ktalk?
Did ownership run out of money to maintain servers and thus the huge downgrade from xenforo. Maybe the licensing fee grew too much.
Maybe talkers can help, admin just need to speak up.
This UI is unsustainable, will result in the end of this place.
