6diagrams / 6diagrams.org (http://6diagrams.com/6diagrams.org/)

Re-innovates forum software. Existing forum software feels dated and lag behind the times, while social sites such as Reddit, Hacker News, Digg, and Delicious are pushing the boundaries. 6diagrams takes inspiration from those social sites and tries to bring some of the innovations back to forum community.
