: 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

The problem with that is on this board, sometimes the replies are of more interest to people than the original message. If someone posts a question for Kevin and he replies, I want to read Kevin's message, not every question on the board until I find one that he answered. It just makes it more convenient. You pick exactly what you want to read and click on that.
