    What’s sad is that the 00s phpbb were a step back from Usenet and BBSs that federated in the 80s.

      Oh yeah, I totally forgot the Usenet, before my generation, sorry!

      Innovation is a spiral, ain’t it?

      Excellent point. Fidonet, Usenet, IRC, even email lists all solved this problem decades ago. And they mostly worked quite well. The web based generation was a step backwards in many ways.
