I like the forum how it is, but I have been using it for a couple years so I am pretty comfortable with its quirks. I try to go to other forums, and I get frustrated because thing are not where I expect them to be.
There has been a gradual improvement of the forum over the years. The board structure is pretty good for keeping things organized, and using the "ignore board" feature cuts out much of the stuff you do not want. Having the auction subforum not allow edits made auctions improved greatly.
The quality of discourse here is directly related to the quality of posters. Idiots come and go, but if you pay attention there are a few forum members who usually have intelligent things to say.
I like to check the "show unread posts" link at the top of the page, interesting, pertinent discussions will stay up there for a while, useless posts die away quickly (usually).
Yeah current system is good but it still lacks some features what other forums softwares are offering now.
Either this forum needs some tweaks and active moderators + some features that are needed.
Some things that i don't like.
1. I can't find my own threads easily.
2. If you try to search something it gives output as posts instead of threads and it's sucks sometimes
3. This forum doesn't had itrader sytem installed (it is installed now)
4. Other forum software have better post editors.
5. SMF needs alot core editing like phpbb for mods installation (Probably that's why Theymos didn't installed some good plugins or upgraded forum to 2.0.4)
