I am very familiar with the Winboard forum type of setup and actually prefer it
because whenever you add to a thread, that thread goes to the top of the list
and doesn't disappear from the bottom as it does here. Also you can get an
indication of the interest in your post from the number of views shown. This can
help keep your spirits up when you're running a tournament and not getting much
feedback. At least you can actually see that there is a lot of interest!
