BTW, like HackerNews, the D forums don't allow emojis, icons, javascript, multiple fonts, and all that nonsense. Just text. What a relief!
The static pages are there for browsing. They load fast, and I like the entire thread being on one page. No clickety-clicking and forgetting where you are in a forest of postings.
One of the reasons I enjoy HackerNews is dang's enlightened and sensible moderation policy.
