"Unfortunately that formula can be easily replicated so really it was just a matter of time before similar alternatives popped up."

I disagree on the unfortunate part. I think it's good that alternatives are easy to make. That means I don't have to put up with the shenanigans to have the type of forum I've enjoyed.

Well yes, what I meant by that word choice was "unfortunately for Reddit", but good for you and me! I'm loving that people seem to be realizing that it's really not hard making an alternative to what is essentially a text-based website.

The thing that is truly unfortunate is how much harder the same is to do for data-heavy sites for sharing images, videos, etc.
