Paid: Plugin 9gag clone for Discourse

You. @ark. I like you.

I’ve had this same conversation before with a different coat of paint and glitter, as I seem to describe this deja vu sense of “Same shit, different day.”

Discourse is not the proper tool for the job. I won’t get into the whole argument on perpetuating the meme-cancer (the one that takes something funny and drives it into the ground; that one) but I will at least offer alternatives. The biggest is WordPress. That can be anything you want. I bet with a few plugins you can turn any WordPress installation into a 9gag or buzzfeed clone.

The best thing to do is find out why you specifically chose Discourse to be the software that makes your site a reality. Why do you want to use Discourse if it has built-in features you would have to take hours or lots of cash to undo them for your needs?
