Not gonna write a whole essay here, but this is freaking awesome.

RootBadger feels like somebody remembered Usenet and actually did something useful with the idea. Groups, threads, plain talk, no algorithm trying to shove junk in my face.

I used to post on Usenet back when you had to know where you were going. This feels like that, in a good way. Great idea.

lol glad you like it. Yeah, based on usenet with better control, not as wild west with bad server administration who do nothing about really bad trolling and flooding.
