Damn, I was hoping they dog-fooded some server-side swift. I was just interested in seeing a larger server-side swift project not the actual forums themselves. Thank you for the link, though.

#5The old title was "Official Swift forums switch to Discourse," or something along those lines. The current title ("Swift Forums") tells you nothing.
Aside: I detest Discourse. It is an abomination of good ideas mated to horrible UX by developers and designers too caught up in drinking their own koolaid to understand that most people do _not_ live in Discourse and expect the website to act the same way every other website does. Hijacking `ctrl+f` in a webpage should reserve a special spot in hell for the person that decided it was a good idea [0].

meta: I noticed titles getting changed to something nonsensical more and more often on Hacker News. The current title is absolutely ridiculous, as it provides no value.
I know that the title is supposed to match the submission, but there are cases where a custom title makes much more sense, and provides a lot more value to the community.

While I agree in general, and likely in this case, I think a distinction can be made based on whether it's more of a webpage, or a webapplication. ctrl-f finding within Google Sheets focuments and applying a background color to matched cells is not something I would want to give up, but that's about as far along the spectrum to application as you can get, so it's fairly cut and dry.

That's still somewhat far from production.

Ok what do you like then? PHPBB (or similar)? A mailing list? A FB group? BBS?

It is what it is, alas, though a side effect is I check HN more often as titles often get less useful as time wears on so it's good to see them when they could catch my interest.
