@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.
What do you think of Discourse?
-
There’s a new forum player in town and it’s called Discourse.
I’ve been active on http://meta.discourse.com lately and have grown to enjoy it. It’s simple and fast.
If you want to play around with it, check out http://try.discourse.org/

It looks … interesting. I’m not sure if I like it or not. It’s not what I’m used to … and human nature says that change is bad. ;)

It’s certainly different but I find that I’m more engaged while using it.
Other Discourse awesomeness:
- Search is fast and useful
- Email integration is second to none. You can actually respond to threads & PMs via email.
- Clutter free
Disadvantages:
- It focuses away from multiple levels of forum categorization like we have here.
