i think i like discourse better than disqus now…posts just seem to have more visual color, and there are more ways to be precise about what one means…love those smileys that pop up after a colon…perhaps we can expand our repertoire of smileys with a few colors other than yellow, for instance, purple for rage, green for envy, blue for regret, etc…

So there goes that.

But it kinda feels like Spectrum gone,dare I say it, camp?! :slight_smile:
