I'm with you on this Tore.  I sure I've said this before but I despise the flat
posting style of forums like phpBB and I like threaded discussions.  Threads
allow the conversation to wander to 2 or more different but related discussions
while allowing a newcomer to make sense of it all.  Since Lugnet has threads and
several other features that some people like (e.g. like NNTP access and
subscribe by mail) I take the "if it ain't broke, why fix it" position.  If
enough noise is made in this regard, I'll try and find something that suits
LDraw.org needs but I will not support moving to a flat posting, bulletin board
style.

Out of the thirty odd responses I've got so far to my questions on TBB there
hasn't been one mentioning ease of discussion so I'll hazard a guess that it's
not a big deal.
