Speaking on behalf of myself, after additional inputs from
many excellent and respectful users in this 'forum'. I can say
that, on the scale of 1 (least geeky) to 10 (most geeky), I
would put forum.dlang.org to the level 8 of geekiness required
to use the forum. It may be natural for long-time users, but
for newcomers, it is very challenging.
I have to admit that I don't understand this. I don't think it
would be possible for it to be simpler to use this forum. No
registration needed, plain text messages, just click "Reply"
and type in your message. Additional features would make it
more complicated.
I'm with you on that. The forum is one of the best I've
encountered. Of course the missing editing is due to the nntp
infrastructure and can be justified: uneditable posts forces one
to be careful and it avoids 1984 like history rewriting.
The enforcing of proper quoting is also a nice feature that works
remarquably well.
