The threaded interface origins from newsgroups and was also present in the first web-based discussion boards (Phorum, W-Agora, WWWBoard, etc). Recently, a few boards have reintroduced it: vB, IPB, etc.

I wonder if this is a necessary feature nowadays. I don't think it make the forum more bloated, as threaded is also a way of organising posts in a topic (instead of showing them in a flat view). IPB and vB both have a threaded and flat interface. On the other side I think very less people actually use it.

Give me your opinions, and vote in the poll: http://www.usebb.net/polls.php?id=26
