One advantage to a linear layout is that it's easy to follow dozens of threads

Err, how am I supposed to remember which "dozens of threads" I visited
yesterday?  Most "forum" software seems pretty aggressive about not showing
visited/unvisited links.

I don't spend a lot of time in forums, but the only useful one I've found is at
forum.nasaspaceflight.com -- it has an "unread topics" page, so it really is
easy to find active discussions which have messages I haven't seen.

Not sure which forums you visit but they must be unusually obtuse. Just about
everywhere I visit tells you which threads have new posts since you last visited
and an unread topics page.
