I'm surprised it's still around. They did a good job on the software, but discussion forums seemed to go belly-up, after Facebook took off (MySpace, too, I guess).

Maybe they will make a comeback?

Forums were doing just fine during the golden age of Facebook, at least in my generation. I thought what made forums go belly-up was reddit. Once reddit became a mainstream social media, there was no need for niche forums as anyone could just create a subreddit.

Was early reddit code the bunch of arc macros and this here (hn) originally? Was it basically a fork of pg code for this (site you are reading now)?
