       Just learned today that the Straightdope forums switched to using Discourse, grim.

       @HarneyB does their old threadlinks redirect properly?

       @hancocktom41 Yeah the threads are still readable. The problem is that I can't exaggerate just how much slower Discourse is compared to so many other forum solutions. It's why I have strong reservations against joining the current forum revival even for my supposed target demographic (Select Button/Insert Credit, 555-5555, [newer furry forum]), because they all use Discourse or some other software that sacrifices performance and compactness for SEO optimization.

       @hancocktom41 Hell, the continued existence of Skullmund's eyesearing styling is proof alone of how much more flexible contemporary PHP forums are when compared to what Discourse offers.I would rather join a Misskey instance than anything using Discourse.
