HN like run on php+mysql

2 pointshongchaolee2 comments

I'm thinking of starting a discussion forum at my website. I've never liked heavy and ugly phpBB-style forums. I'm really keen on simple and minimalist Something with the simplicity and threadedness of Hacker News is so great,but the server condition is php+mysql,and i can't do anything with it. So,Does anyone have any ideas or experience?

I have something like this running on http://www.voidy.com/ It is nowhere near complete, but the basic functionality is there. I can give you the source code if you want. Thinking about it, the best way will be to share the code in github. Will do it ASAP.

BTW there is this hidden functionality in the site where you can 'follow' your favorite users and their submissions and comments will be featured in your home page.

Drupal is a powerful PHP/MySQL system. A little heavy but has several good caching options.
