Do we want Epochtalk?

It is true, but migrating a forum of this size to another platform is not an easy task. On the other hand, I have seen many forums "die", as they migrated to other platforms and were unable to guarantee all the features that the community is used to on the new platform.

This was probably due to there being better alternatives to the forum, rather than the new platform scaring people away. Unfortunately, humans in general hate change, and therefore any big or small change is usually off putting, but given enough time we'll adapt to anything put in front of us. So. although at first it might seem significant that it doesn't have x feature, or you don't like the design elements, it quickly evaporates away as you become more familiar with the software.

Anyone who is interested in donating to my new new forum project should contact me privately. 

I'd give a dime for that crap! You should put this in a white paper and launch a crowdfunding campaign, or maybe even an ICO / IPO.

I don't really care about anymore, people want it so they can have some added features like notifications for quotes/mentions and mobile friendly. For first, we have telegram bots that serve same purpose, for second, I never had problem accessing/using this forum on mobile.

all we see is some ugly CSS, which can be changed when the coding is finished.

Exactly. And we have on the forum quite a number of skilled people that can add an user script and adjust the look and feel here and there if it's getting released and a big number of users won't like it.
Somewhat strange to keep telling that over years, but it's still early to criticize the UI.

For me I think what we see mat just be a sample as the work may have not reached the final stage,for me I see it a mirage which when closer may not appear the way it seem. It may be more attractive at the point of regular use.
Since I don't know the architectural or design originally given to be coded through prescription or discrimination on how the user interface should reflect I can't jump into inference of saying the design don't meet up requirements. I stand to be corrected I believe more more is still in place for me better outlook using CSS to beautier the interface and possibly add some necessary features.
