In 2017, Kazemian advised Boing Boing that “Wikia, like Wikipedia, uses an honestly old software program constructed in 2001. in the meantime, there are many new, contemporary crowd-information websites like Genius, Quora, and StackOverflow. Still, no one ever attempted to attack the original beast – a wiki of everything – with the brand new, contemporary tools. that is what Everipedia objectives to do.”
