Ask HN: Forum Software Similar to Reddit?
I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.

Simple WYSIWYG html editor? Open source or cheap.
I've been playing around with a new open source forum called Flarum for my blog. It's a forum by nature but it has a blog extension and with some work you can get it to be just a blog that looks pretty nice. I just recently finished getting mine moved over (I rarely blog but here it is) - I'm not too sold on it yet either though so there's that.
