(Usually because of a common codebase: think E2 and Perl Monks, use Perl and Slashdot.) It may attract you to a site, although it probably won't keep you there: the community dynamic can be very different even when the UI is similar. For example, both use Perl and Slashdot are on Slash, but the similarity pretty

    • I think Everything is more chaotic than Slash, from the maintainer's perspective. I don't think using Everything would be suitable for a news site, but it seems to work well for community sites like E2 and Perl Monks.

      As for the Chatterbox, I don't think Use Perl is updated often enough for people to be hitting it enough to maintain chatter. I think the reason why it works on E2 is because people are busy working their way between nodes and can follow vaguely what's going on in the Chatterbox. I hit Use Perl once a day, so that wouldn't work for me.
