DU's message board is SO much better than free republic

[cheezus]

I specifically mean from a software perspective.

I see links to the insane posts of freepers, and every time I think to myself: Damn. I couldn't post on a messageboard that bad.

So thanks to the DU programmers.

(btw - I'm a PHP guy too. Let me know if you want some help)

1. agreed.

FR site is awful. really awful. seriously.

2. I've never met a good conservative coder

I knew a few freeper types in cs who thought they were cool shit, but their code always sucked.

3. DU's cite is leaps and bounds better than most sites.

FR is especially atrocious though.

4. Like I said on another thread a few days ago.........

It looks like it was made up as an elementary school class project. Very crude.

5. I like the fact that their gay-bashing, bigotted, death-dealing garbage

gets lost in tthe incomprehensible jumble of their site.

6. Agreed.

I can't understand who they're trying to respond to, or who posted what etc. Here it's all very clear, and I like that little "tree" thing at the beginning of every thread that lets us know who is talking to whom.
