Am i the only one that likes newsgroups much better than web forums?
Most of my old favorite newsgroups have been degrading for years, with
most of the members heading off to different web forums.

I find web forums clunky, slow, and in most of the current ones each
thread is one single list of replies without the ability to branch out
at all.

It's too bad.

I have to agree Kevin. I like the forum's but the way they're laid out
is frustrating. Here I can at least see headers and threads and
whatnot. If I want to see what everyone is talking about I have to
open each one and then back out to go to the next one. very time
consuming and I don't have that much time to waste flipping and
flopping about.

I would guess this is more a problem with your news reader than the
individual forum. Try another newsreader or try one with filters.

He's talking about web forums. Usenet is just fine. Web forums are
what exhibit these limitations.
