It had a very interesting commenting system which was non threaded. Instead you referenced the number of the post you were responding to.
It gave some very interesting dynamics in the conversation, something I have never experienced since and I have often thought about doing some exploration around the non-threaded discussion forum.
- SamReidHughes 10y agoNon-threaded as in there being exactly one global stream of comments? Or were there separate threads, each of which was a linear stream within which comments reference each other by number? 4chan and such have the latter.
- ThomPete 10y agoSeparate threads and channels. But it also had some other interesting features in the HTML version based on picospan the underlying discussion forum software.
