New MySpace forums based off Community Server?
-
If anyone here used the old MySpace forums, you would have noticed the many WTFs in the system... That whole system was a WTF in itself. However, they recently launched a new forum system. I've noticed some similarites between their forums and Community Server (Things like having a "Reply" button next to each post rather than one at the bottom, the "Report Abuse" button, RSS feeds, etc.) Even some of the things in the CSS stylesheets are exact same (or similar):
MySpace: http://x.myspace.com/feature/community/f/2/css/forum.css
Community Server: http://forums.worsethanfailure.com/Themes/default/style/Common.css
Anyone know whether they would have based it off Community Server, or whether they're just imitating it? I'm just curious :PEdit: Example topic: http://forums.myspace.com/t/3462797.aspx?fuseaction=forums.viewthread

the real wtf is you're using myspace.

Your friends on Hyves and Facebook will agree with that. :)

I should have expected that :P
Yes, I'm using MySpace, but only because "everyone else" seems to be using it. Most of my friends seem to be using MySpace rather than other sites (it's a teenage thing, I guess... I'm 17.)
Although I personally prefer Facebook, it's heaps better (and their developer API is really good :D)

Yes, we recently announced that MySpace chose Community Server as the basis for their forums upgrade.
