There’s a bit more history to this than just this past year. When codinghorror showed up in 2012, he solicited opinions from Dopers about his idea for a new community forum, which later turned out to be Discourse. He was given a lot of shit in that thread, partially fueled by the snark forums by the end…
Can we build better forum software?
Then when Discourse was released, he was given even more shit about it.
New Forum Software - Guess who is the poster child for why things should change?
Ironically or something, a bunch of years later, the Dope was placed on the Discourse platform, the same platform that many Dopers thought was not a good fit for the Dope
