A real Forum for D

[Unknown W. Brackets]

Walter,

Well, when I think "web forum software" I think installable.  I'm pretty 
sure the ones you named are generally all proprietary.  It's certainly 
rare for proprietary forum software to deal with read status at that 
level, I agree.

I don't even think Slashdot has a concept of "read", but then, I don't 
frequent it (or Reddit or Digg) much.
