this topic is about all I can see on Bay 12, and we're not in a feature-making devcycle so it's not as noticeable, but on reddit it's completely awful. Every single time Toady decides to do anything that isn't bugfixes, people immediately say how stupid it is that he wants to develop instead of making bugfixes because he never does that I guess. They then disappear until the next development cycle, at which point they come out in full force to whine.

There's your problem

no, i don't think so
i mean i know that making fun of an "other" is a very normal thing to do and i'm not blaming you for it but the upper boards at the very least are about as bad
Yeah, but Reddit's also a pretty poor site in general. They don't even use decent forum s0ftware
Hey, see how I just quoted your entire post to reply to you instead of Bauglir?
With threaded discussion software you don't have to do that. It shows who's replying to whom intuitively and effortlessly, which (in my opinion) is just better for actual discussion. Or you can just reply to the OP just as easily. You can even still put a picture next to your name if you really want, depending on subreddit moderators allows that.
Say what you will about the Reddit community (as if it's not literally a thousand different communities with separate moderation and rules), but Slashdot/Reddit have purely better software than Simple Machines.
