A fantastic read about forum software all the way from Usenet to Discourse, which is where we ended up at the 32-Bit Cafe, same as every other forum these days. RIP phpBB.

Old web forums were poorly coded and rough around the edges, but maybe we gave up on them too quickly in the social media era.
