    Would love to see an AMA on reddit by Brandon and Carlos.

    Is this something that could happen?

    What is an AMA? I hate reddit so I am not up with the terms of that site.

    I'm not up on the history of this site, but, I can find no mention of Carlos being a founder. As far as I can see Kaiser was the founder and Carlos happened to be the 3rd user registered.

    "ama" = ask me anything, like a rolling interview of questions

    I see. I might be the only person on this earth that doesn't like reddit. Went there once to see what all the buzz was about and left after trying to follow a thread. I always hated Slashdot because of the nested comments, but, put up with because at the time it was the best tech site for Linux users.

    Reddit is amazing, its the front page of the internet. :p
    But really, it is awesome if you have time to waste or want to add some offtopic content to your site.

    They have a webmaster area you may enjoy http://www.reddit.com/r/webmaster

    I'll pass. I don't like nested comments. I like threaded. Always did and actually miss the feature in forum software. Probably because I came to the forum world from usenet. However, I don't like when the replies are nested. I hate the click here for 25 more comments or 25 comments below this threshold like Slashdot does.

    Yea, i prefer threaded as well to be honest but it would have been cool to own Reddit. LOL

    Maybe we can get the AMA here on Admin Talk, that would be cool.

    Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Reddit is the future of forums and has an amazing breadth and depth of content if you look past the front page into some of the more specific sub-reddits.

    Sorry for going off-topic -- came here to say that I too would look forward to an interview with Brandon & Carlos together, discussing how Carlos started off as Member #3, only to later be banned and banished from this community, to now being invited back in since the change of ownership.

    I don't think he's dismissing Reddit as content lacking, but more usability for himself.

    I'll be honest myself, the only time I go on Reddit is if I'm linked by a friend.

    Not the content as I actually liked the tech section. It was the presentation of the discussions that sent me packing. I dislike nesting of threads. What's funny about the whole thing is I prefer threaded mode when done the way it should be done. Nesting is not a good way to do it.

    FWIW
    I bought the site from Kaiser
    Carlos had nothing to do with it.
    The OP is trolling ;)

    Also Reddit is awesome

    Really no need to double post Joeychgo. It really detracts from the conversation.

    Why don't you [****][****][****][****]ing check my IP address, stupid.

    He's in Canada, I'm in California.

    I never claimed to be the Founder, and I don't claim to be the founder of Admin Talk.

    As you can see after that I said LMAO <-- This indicates I was joking. Secondly, cmon guy it is very easy to fake your ip. I can be from anywhere I want in a matter of seconds. Not that it matters, but everyone is not out to get you or nothing, but the dude posting all this against Brandon is making the same kind of posts you used to. Though, I doubt he is you, because this whole founder thing he keeps pushing is odd. The founder was a shady lil HF kid

    Out to get Brandon? Brandon and I sext often on skype. Seriously, no one is after Brandon.

    I more after Joey Chicago since he is a Topify c0-founder.


    I am glad Carlos is back!
