That's because I wanted posters to at least TRY out the forum because I was convinced they'd get used to it and then prefer it to the simple message boards.

However, most posters repeatedly requested the simple message board be created because they didn't want any changes to how it worked or having to learn new tricks.

The forum allows posters to read an entire page of any thread with just ONE click. Also to see at a glance if any new posts or threads were made to any board. No more having to click individual posts.
