Why is the forum layout so dated on here?

   Computers only stopped sucking about 2016 or so. Before that most of them were way too slow and shitty. Those that weren't slow and shitty were way too expensive and got hot.

   Technologically we provably had everything we needed to create a sufficient piece of forum software in the early 2000s. But vB3 reached end of life in 2007, its successor in vB4 suffered from bloat, abuse of AJAX where it wasn't necessary, and an almost absurdly bad/slow/overly abstract database design. PHPBB has gone down the same road. In general forum software has just become too complex when BBSs were basically solved over a decade ago.

   I'm kinda pissed at bradleyb, he didn't even make up an obit for me. He had plenty to work with like being old and a hillbilly.
   
   I thought we good e-niggas bradley, you hurt me and it'll take at least a minute or two to get over my hurt feels. lol
