FreeRepublic has the best forum software, bar none. No indented hierarchies or other cumbersome silliness like the lefty forums inflict on their members. FR is pure streamlined elegance. If the job of a forum is to facilate communication between its members, FR wins, big time.

BBTTT.

So many of the web forums are impossible to read; the indentation schemes can be very odd --- the most annoying for me are the ones that use a tabular layout, and allow each row to have floating width first columns. That means that your eye has to hunt around if you trying to read down the second column. Then there are those with repetitious and silly "avatar" pictures, color schemes that actively work against readability, and a host of other clumsy user interface goofs.

Free Republic's layout is elegant and eminently readable, and facilitates reading a great deal of material in a short period of time.

Which provides very little actual information since several people will inevitably have the same avatar. The human brain, on the other hand, likes names very much.

yep, FR is the best format..and with that said, I don’t think I’ve every visited the kos site. Never saw a need to, and judging form the comments, I won’t. They sound like liberals.. (hahaha)
