HN is not a forum
- iinnPP 4y agoI never used PHPBB, but I did use the feature-strict PunBB(and then fork FluxBB). Both of those software allowed you to order threads by date, where posts were no longer able to be used to "BUMP." Several categories had this feature enables, including any news discussion areas and the designated shitpost area. HN and PunBB look quite similar. Even more so when using the orange skin.
- Findecanor 4y agoOne thing that HN has in common with forums though, is that threads stay around for years . And that's a good thing, as there can be a lot of useful information even in old threads.
