[edit] History
FruitShow was created in January 2006 in response to Joel Spolsky closing the "Off Topic" Joel on Software forum after the death of Chris McKinstry. [1] To fill the gap, Wayne Venables created a clone of the FogBugz forum calling it FruitShow after a post made by one Sathyaish Chakravarthy, a sometime poster on Joel's forums. [2][3]
[edit] Features
Using the principles laid out the article Building Communities with Software, FruitShow follows a minimalistic design with no registration, no threading, no sub-forums, and no bouncing. With an emphasis on ease of use, FruitShow is fast, user-friendly and puts an emphasis on conversation.
