Oh my god. I remember this happening, and I remember email drew about it at the time.
It really never did recover from this. I "grew up" on Fark, and lots of my early web projects were clones of it/inspired by it. Fark really was a special part of the internet, and it's sad that it fell off. I wonder if the fact that they never moved on from this design was Drew being gunshy about changing it again.
- jfengel 3y agoI briefly conversed with Drew on what seemed like the obvious next step of threaded conversations. He was clear that this way kept things in order for him, and didn't let stuff get bogged down. In other words I think he's happy with it, and doesn't want it to change. The main change since then was more ads or paid accounts, which seems a fair tradeoff. Anybody who wants Reddit knows (or knew) where to find it.
