Are there any more user friendly and more cool message boards than DU out there?

[Elwood P Dowd]

There couldn't be many. I'm racking my brain trying to think of some.

5. Boom.....you're dead!

Nothing like a 1995 message board.

:spank:

[spin]

9. Free Republic is a lot like far right conservatives...

way behind the times. They definitely oppose change over there and their software shows it.

8. FR looks like it was designed in 1973.

All that text heavy html combined with the stupidity of the posters makes it just one gawd awful website.

17. Lol, I wouldn't insult the 70s that way.

:P

[and-justice-for-all]

18. I once looked at FR and almost had a seizure..

It is that bad.

2. I can't think of one. DU rawks!! nt

[flvegan]

3. No. I'd challenge anyone to come up with one.

DU is the epitome of user-friendly design and execution.

Kudos to Elad and the Admin for their success!!!!

14. They just told you FreeRepublic

why wait?


:dunce:


:freak:

21. I'd say, hey FreeRepublic, 1996 called and they want their website back.

Morons.

Wait, sorry...morans.

4. It's awesome software. n/t

6. Du's forum software is the best I've ever seen.

[Jamastiene]

19. Agreed. I wish I could start a nonpolitical board using the same

layout as here. This place is the best I have seen yet as far as being able to keep up with who is replying to who. On lots of other boards, it is very hard to figure that out because it just looks like everyone is replying to the OP and not talking to each other at all.

20. You can get the basic software for free here:

Just keep in mind that here, the "Software has been extensively modified by the DU administrators". ;)

7. Slashdot is good ...but "user-friendly" is a matter of individual taste.

:shrug:

[RB TexLa]

10. None that I've seen. It's a good set up

[BlackVelvet04]

11. I know of a much smaller

board with software I like better.

[zalinda]

13. Which one is that? n/t

[BlackVelvet04]

22. Am I allowed to post a link? n/t

16. No you can't. That board's implementation is a disgrace to the internet

and to the entire body of aesthetics.

Instead of taking good software and making it better(like here at DU), they made it horrible.

23. not that i have seen

i gave up on kos because the site sucked-not the people
