the PHP based forums. Threading is a great feature that makes it much easier to converse with people online. The "modern" message board you speak up not have this feature. Because it's easy to see when someone has responded, specifically, to my post, there's a sense that you are talking to individuals when you want to. I think that's why I spend more time on OKP than on the other boards I visit (spitkicker.com, loosie.com, africana.com).
