Very impressive.
We have a startup ( http://microco.sm/ ) in this very space (hosted forums) and will be launching our alpha in the next two weeks. Our design rushes are pretty close to this (though we haven't updated the linked site in ages it feels) and we love that others are innovating in this space and feel that they've also spotted and validated a need for simpler, more engaging forums.
I really like the look of this, one of the much stronger offerings to have emerged in this space.
Will be good to see how we all do in a year or so, and which we way pivot and the changes in our respective business models.
Right now this looks like more of a Disqus rival than anything, but I'm sure they will do well with things like forums for really small communities such as housing associations and knitting groups, etc.
