- hoistbypetard 7y agoI agree. Many of the mechanics that grew up around dealing with NNTP made for a very different experience compared to web forums. And I think we've lost something as we've moved on from it. (It was also a right pain in the ass in several ways... I just prefer the balance that made us strike to the dynamic that grows in a web forum now.)
