I must disagree with you there as I think that the BBS is much easier to navigate as it has the facility to take you directly to the first unread post in the thread whereas on here you have to scroll through a whole page to find where you last left off.

The main problem with the BBS is that the signal to noise ratio is too low and there is too much waffle and insulting before you actually get to any useful information

Comrades is also built on more modern dedicated forum software but I don't spend time there as it's mainly just a home for people banned from the two major sites
