The fact that you can have subforums, and you can find the newest and most active threads on each subforum category, also that you can organize those subforums by thread titles only, instead of having to see half of the thread taking more space in the organization, making it harder to find what you are looking for.
Yeah, it’s tricky to follow particular threads in this site, and we only really have two “subforums” namely Main and Discussion. I think the Reddit style lends itself more to long articles than the forum style, though; and most forum systems I’ve seen don’t have tree-structured threads, which makes following discussions hard.
All in all, I’d prefer a good Usenet newsreader, but that’s pretty much history now.
