On the trucking forum I used many years ago

The layout was very similar to SN, which immediately made me feel at home

They had a main menu page with the 'territories' laid out

By far the most popular was pro drivers page, where most posts were created, although the mods regularly moved posts to the correct territory

Second most popular was drivers specialising in long distances

Then there were the Newbies, The owner operators and the truckstop bar where jokes stories tall tales etc go, these were massively underused compared to the top 1, hence why if you wanted your post to get traction you'd post it there.... Which is why I suspect a lot of stackers post in Bitcoin territory because its the most popular

Interestingly there was a computer tech territory which nowadays could also include bitcoin Ln questions

They had stickys or pinned posts

I'm sure the SN founders cut there teeth on these internet forums and are well aware of how they were put together
