that organizes forums in the way that this one does: threaded hierarchically and ordered chronologically.
I found one a long time back in the early '10s (it was a rarity even then) and they upgraded to pretty much this form. I don't know what makes tread so hard? Undesirable? Potentially the fact that you can't see every post by merely scrolling. So perhaps forums are trying to duplicate the social media format thinking that must be what the user wants.
The closest to this organization is reddit but they do the other social media thing and move the sub threads up and down based on what people think. (They also try to duplicate full readability of all posts on the same screen)
I think the format we so love on this forum was generally killed by social media.
