    Because seriously, that's not how a forum works.

    There's a quote button in the lower right corner of every post.

    There is, but the comment feature is silly I think. It doesn't really serve any purpose in a place like this. If this were a different place, I could see that type of thing being reserved for admins and moderators for explanations of post edits and the like, but for every user to have the power to just... interject into things with the comment. I don't know, I don't like it.

    Sooo... you're saying you think people shouldn't have the ability to reply to each other's posts?

    No, I'm talking about this shit^

    "Comment" is not the same as "reply"

    Scroll up and you'll see exactly why it can be annoying. I just don't think it has any place here. I'd rather have that "comment" space be reserved for "reply". It gives threads the ability to have strange structure.

    Well, that's what I thought you meant, however, I don't have such a "Comment" button showing up for me. Maybe it only shows up on mobile phones? Not sure. I'm on a PC and I don't see any Comment button at all to use.

    I think it just confuses the posting presentation unnecessarily, but on the other hand, this is only the default forum setup. Lanny said he will be tweaking shit as we go to make it better than what we're looking at right now.

    Yeah, I figured it was just the default and would be changed eventually but I just wanted to bring it to attention, I guess.

    It's good because it allows for myriad tangents thereby condensing threads while reaching farther and deeper into the subject, and allowing one to skip over shitposts or or posts in which one is not inclined to read for one's own sake.

    So it basically makes it Reddit except instead of discussions being ranked by upvotes, they're just tiered by when the top comment of any string is posted. This is bad, because if the first few replies are shitposts, they'll constantly be shown above any better replies that might show up afterward. Let's stick with the forum style of conversation, not reddit-style.

    This. There's no reason to try to be something else. I like this style. Keeping the comments would make it just like reddit, but shittier.
