UBB had this feature in the early 2000’s. It was rather terrible to navigate using the default skins of the time and some sub threads would go on way too long.

UBB had this feature in the early 2000’s. It was rather terrible to navigate using the default skins of the time and some sub threads would go on way too long. You take for granted the things that make modern threaded discussion work. Those concepts didn’t exist back then.
- MBCook 4y agoI don’t remember seeing someone do it well until Reddit, but thats my experience + memories that stuck. I’m sure it can be done bad, but I’ve been on Reddit for 13 years and I know I wasn’t too early. This was figured out by then. Yet it’s 2022 and the two car forums I look at work just like the forums I remember from the turn of the century. I will say threaded doesn’t work well for a discussion where 2 or 3 people hold a conversation (like you would on chat). But that doesn’t seem to be the common case, at least for the forums I’ve been to (I could see other topics being different).
