Hey, here's a forum for ya!

Hey all,

I just wanted to share this recreation of W3 Interactive Talk, the first ever Web forum software ever created. It dates to 1994, and it's not even hosted on the W3C site anymore. I found it, added some fairy dust to it, and created a Dockerized version of the original code, which you can find here:

GitHub repository.

Word of warning: This is 32-year-old code that hasn't been security hardened, so don't post on here expecting a highly secure experience. This is for historic value only. You, too, can post on the same forum software the people who invented the World Wide Web did. Don't screw it up.
