well from a user's perspective you might get free avatars, pms, search, whatever else a new forum has

avatars probably but my understanding is pms and search use significantly more resources than something not bolted on to 2001 era vbulletin

the wayback machine is really bad for forums. it seems like it gets a random sack of crap each archival attempt so you get 5000 copies of index.php and then half of a funny thread. maybe they can work out a one-shot deal to just copy the archives over instead of their black box method but idk

i dont get how people can post on reddit. there can be a thread about donald trump getting impeached and the top rated comments are all some stupid reddit meme like "banana for scale" and people tagging along on those comments and people reposting the top rated comments for karma and so on. you might as well just look at the porn there instead of trying to do something educational

Syllables posted:its good if you need to search up something; since usually people who use reddit are usually more informed than the average internet user i think it's more that it's a huge barn of crap with good seo like stack overflow and not that there's a huge population of geniuses

reddit with embedded quotes would be bad because there's so much noise on the site. maybe if they just really cranked up their algorithm for hiding replies. people say reddit is the new popular whatever forum but i think they have a huge advantage because they're showing you a ranking of posts, so every thread looks great (until you scroll past the first reply)

everyone now: finally you can take my money lowtax in one year: after running the numbers i've decided to shut down somethingawful and switch to doing the podcast full time. i'm working with radium to host a guestbook where you can leave a comment but it looks like there's a problem with the swear word filter. for now just avoid using any vowels

i dont understand how people say gbs is bad or good. there's photoshop threads in there now so maybe im looking at the wrong gbs. im not going to click on it because the thread title is probably better than the thread but i 've thought about "Pro Bathroom Life Hack - Have 2 Brands of Toilet Paper Ready To Go" more than once this week. and there's a juicero thread? not sure why yospos is complaining
