Every message board I looked at had at least one person say that CB is literally the worst format they could have ever imagined. I seem to remember when I first started looking at CB feeling overwhelmed by the amount of threads, etc. and stuck to just the top 10 on the homepage for a while.
Now, I feel 100% the opposite. CB has literally the best format I’ve seen out there for consuming large amounts of content quickly. It was so frustrating scrolling forever to see just a small number of posts on the other boards and you would have to search forever in a thread to find something you are looking for. It also doesn’t encourage a variety of topics because most people feel confined to posting in an existing thread on a single topic.
CB is amazing the way it is set up.
