I concur. I somehow skipped PHPBB and VBulletin (I was more of a newsgroup/IRC kinda guy) and always found them super clunky and a step backwards compared to newsgroups, if only because of the lack of proper threading.
Discourse is comparatively very pleasant I thought.
- dreyfan 5y agoCurious what you mean by lack of proper threading in phpBB and vBulletin? Are you talking about threading of responses within a broader "Thread" (top-level post entry) e.g. for a refresher some random vbulletin site: https://forums.devx.com/forumdisplay.php?105-VB-Classic https://forums.devx.com/forumdisplay.php?105-VB-Classic Because each of those entries on that page are a thread to me, but if discussions within a thread go off on a tangent there's not really a way to group/organize those sub-threads.
- denimnerd42 5y agointeresting, they did at some point have a threading option but I hated it. I preferred reading comments in time order and threads were clunky to me.
