- Akronymus 4y agoBecause BBS were awesome, but as they werent really monetized, a lot of people think they can reinvent it in a way to monetize it.
- davidy123 4y agoI just think it's an easy to understand model, topics and replies, but its well past its sell-by. It leads to sloppy meandering discussions, and the best way to monetize it is to mine the users without encouraging them to do better.
