It doesn't make much sense to take up more vertical space just because somebody replies. If you want to read the replies click on the original message and link from there. That way you get more on each board before you go to the next one and have to go back to archives. Just makes more sense. This is old ass BBS stile crap

: What you see is what you get.

: No annoying expanding and shrinking of threads.

: If you're looking for someone's post? You can read particular individuals, individual responses, instead of having to plow through the UBBS format's peccadilloes and complications.

: I don't get this whole techie "whatever's newest is best thing".

: This format best serves the purposes here. That's all.
