> My bad. I confused Discourse with Discord, which a lot of subreddits use for chat. I’m still not a huge fan of the Discourse/Vanilla format, where the front page is a list of the most recently updated threads from the start, and subforums are in the form of thread category tags; the same concept as the new posts page on vBulletin/XenForo/IPB/etc. [It’s not easy to install.](https://github.com/discourse/discourse) There’s not the same number of plugins. It would involve a big shift in tech, too – from PHP scripts and a MySQL database to Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL.

Discourse is pretty horrible. There’s no nesting option and it’s continuous scroll. Worst of all is that so very many of its internal functions are governed by number of likes received. It’s not for us unless there’s no other choice.
