My issue is with the top level design used (aside from the fact we seemed to have pushed it over). The root, https://community.nodebb.org/ , is a Pininterest/Google+/other tiling Each of these forums is ultra-old-school BB threaded style conversations. It's a very weird mix of old and new ideas that doesn't work for me. The reason I don't like these threaded conversations is once they go beyond a certain length, the only people who read or post to them are those that participated in the start of thread. It's just a way of having a public conversation. For anyone coming in later they need the question and the final answer - SO. This isn't really news, there's a reason StackOverflow works, it's brutal quality filtering. I think a lot of people would still love to see a decent OS SO clone. OSQA is just dead. http://www.question2answer.org/ is the only active one I'm aware of.
