Yea lets not embrace the future and newer technology's, let stay in the past.
Everything was better before, don't change anything that works.

If everyone had that mindset we would still live in the stone-age.

Have you used any other modern communication platform? There shouldn't be
any learning curve, if just a few people are having problem with it, then something
is wrong.

And its not perfect, nothing ever is. There is always room for improvement.

What I meant by perfect, was that the type of forum that we have now is a perfect
fit for this site. The kind of discussions we often have on BrickLink lend themselves
to the tree structure. I also think it's important to have people's ID
cards displayed prominently along with all the other information about the post
itself.

And yes, I do use other forums quite heavily. I have over 10,000 upvotes on my
Disqus profile and every few weeks I have to clear my block list (max 1000 users)
because I block and flag constantly. I could barely name a handful of profiles
I have gotten to "know" over the years.

Contrast that to BrickLink where I've never blocked anybody, and I recognize
at least half of all the people who post in the forum. The BrickLink forum has
a personal feel to it, and we risk losing that if we import something generic.

+1 you said it perfectly for me too

[...] I guess the opposite of that is- Let's change everything for no reason other than that there is something newer available. Both are wrong IMO and I didn't say [...]
