So ChainBB is a forum-y interface for Steem content?

I was directed here by the trending story on Steemit's frontpage, and from a quick glance, it looks like this site is an alternate interface to Steemit? I really like it, if so, but am curious if there's some aspect to it I'm missing?

(Even if not, I'll probably come here instead of the Steemit page, since the idea of being on an forum is more appealing to be than being on a news aggregator... even if the backend is the same, lol.)
