I've finally gotten used to the linear structure of the threads instead of the branched layout. I agree with you that threads are hard to follow because there are usually multiple topics in one thread and sometimes they get way off topic. I brought this up before and nothing really came of it. Since threads will inherently flow and may diverge from the original topic, there need to be a way to easily split a new thought into a new thread. Hopefully that would solve one of the issues you brought up.
I also agree with you that the board is too much like a chat room or public IM conversation. A few weeks back I sent Brandon a message saying what a great service and resource the CD forums are for the FIRST community, but if they lose their focus as a place to share useful information they will lose their usefulness. I also hope that when the season starts, the on topic posts will come back and the chit-chat will die down.
Thanks again for the work Brandon & the rest of CD.
Mike
