The literal bulletin board covered in notes is a totally apt analogy. I
strongly believe computer bulletin boards shouldn't be like that.
Obviously it works for some people, but I don't think it's *completely* a
matter of different tastes. I think some serious usability research would
demonstrate all manner of deficiencies. About the only thing I like about
it is the way each user has an identity-image.

I'm mostly just being grumpy -- all sorts of sites I visit routinely use
this terrible BB thing. And I've actually got a friend who argues about
how wonderful it is. Clearly, he has something wrong with his brain. :)


Really, the ideal situation is multiple ways to access the data -- which
Lugnet provides, and I hope anything else major adopts as well.

I don't like the one-post-under-the-other-all-on-one-page bulletin boards if
that's what you're talking about-they are AWEFUL.  LUGnet posting/thread setup
is FAR superior in the fact that it is FAR more intuitive to read, respond, &
see thread structure, and now, with ftx, you CAN post your own I.D. picture-many
people do!

(...) Oddly, the things you pick out are exactly the reasons I think Lugnet's design is superior. It uses color well to pick out meaningful information, and it's got a very clever graphical representation of each thread. (...) Plently of color, few (...)
