I’d like to make a point that the minimalist, purpose driven design is central to the reason I started usung Discourse.

Feature creep (features like this one) are partly what lead to the ‘frankenstein’ that is the classic forum (phpbb, vbulletin).

I’m all for extensibility (AKA plug-ins) but lets not forget that Discourse is about enabling discussions and not about other ‘stuff’
