Ah yes phpBB those were the days. Wait, no they weren't. They sucked. Old forum software was one of the worst computing experiences I remember.

Want to download a custom Android ROM? Hope you like reading through this 120 page thread one page at a time. Oh and each message will be surrounded by a metric mile of profile pictures and signature.

RSS was pretty great though, I'll give you that.

Flat forums weren't just for downloading Android ROMs. Forums were meant for linear one-to-one discussion. All the eye bleed can be disabled anyways. I haven't looked at avatars or signatures in decades.

Besides has there been a better solution? People were still using XDA forums last I checked. Which has been several years so I don't know. XDA evolved around dedicated individuals who kept a top post updated with relevant info. So the problem was kind of solved after a while.
