I disagree completely. I find this board much easier to follow than other boards
similar to phpBB.

People read this board for content, not flashy graphics (which I personally find
annoying). There is no need for subsections or much of that other stuff that
those kind of boards provide.

This forum is also free, and I imagine that the providers would like to minimize
the resources it consumes, such as the extra cpu usage consumed by processing
php, or the extra html involved in making the site look so pretty.

Personally, I like it basic and uncluttered. Very easy to follow.

The threads in this forum are together...

There is a search engine...

This has been brought up countless times in the past, and it hasn't changed yet.
I really don't find it hard at all to follow, and I prefer the current version.
I post on other boards that use an approach similar to phpBB, and I prefer this
one by far.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It ain't broke.
