Credit where credit is due: we borrowed many ideas (like the interface and moderation) from <A HREF=\"http://slashdot.org/\">slashdot.org</A> and <A HREF=\"http://kuro5hin.org/\">kuro5hin.org</A> because they have many good ideas about discussion forums. We do not use their code or any permutation thereof as $site_name has been written entirely from scratch. Our goal was to create a similar base initially, and to go from there and to transform $site_name into something different by adding new and unique features.<P></DD> |
