Well said. It's a shame IMO how much forum software has deteriorated in innovation post 2010 or so. Discourse is nice, but not my cup of tea when compared to the layout of "classic" forum software, phpBB, SMF, etc.
- isostatic 9y agoClassic forums software was pretty much a web based NNTP gateway -- some even supported nntp integration directly. Posts were threaded. Then along came unthreaded forums in late 90s/early 00s. Things like phpBB are not my cup of tea when compared to the layout of usenet or slashcode.
