I think 4chan’s model is actually really underrated. Replies can be indicated by referencing the number of a previous post, and a post can link arbitrarily to as many posts as needed. Posts include a header with links to all posts that reference it. This allows posts to form arbitrary graphs and allows following a single thread of discussion while still maintaining a linear structure without disjointed branches.

Shame the last image board I enjoyed succumbed to death the same way all small forums eventually do. One additional thing that is special about image board discussions, is posts often have a picture thumbnail along with it, which I find provides for having an innate spacial awareness when jumping around in a thread.
