The other courses (i.e ML and DB) seemed to have a different arrangement. The slew of new classes seemed to be following the same arrangement as ML/DB rather than AI.

Though as far as I know there was this idea of using Aiqus as the discussion forum platform for all the courses, rather than each course having its own separate forum. Aiqus was used by AI class during last session.
Although I am not aware who was behind the development and operation of Aiqus.

Not sure if you're referring to the current bunch of courses or the first three (AI/ML/DB). I'm assuming it's the latter. Aiqus was only used for the AI class. IIRC it was set up independently but someone before the course began and ended up being the pseudo-official Q&A forum (linked to from the main site).

ok, I was not aware that Aiqus was independent of the AI class. Though one of the developers of Aiqus posted in an unofficial FB group of AI class that all the rest of the courses will also use Aiqus during the next session.

Interesting that they seem to have tried to sell Aiqus recently.. https://flippa.com/2673719-q-a-site-on-artificial-intelligen...
