I hardly disagree
"HN" comment chains may be better (but that's debatable) than forum's linear discussions, but
HN "news" model (front page oriented) is terrible and everything that falls from front page is automatically dead, end of topic.
Forum discussions can last weeks, months or even years meanwhile everything that's 2 days old is dead on HN, here's no discussion once something disappears from front page.
- fossuser 5y agoYeah - I don't disagree with you on that. It's the threading model I think is superior - the forum pages model where you get hundreds of slowly loading pages and horrible quoting, signatures, etc. make it unusable for me.
