B.net aside, how do you guys think this new format compares to forums of other websites, whether they be powerhouses such as 4.chan and reddit, or smaller communities, such as a another game forum. Does it have the potential to be the best around? Has it fallen from grace? Are you still undecided?

I'm still evaluating. I like the idea of the 3 tiered posting system. 1:OP 2:Comment 3:Replies and sub-discussion off of the comment. It reminds me of tennis. A serve that is not returned is an ace. A serve that is returned and the server cannot respond is the end of a point. A serve that is returned, hit back, returned again, is a rally. If an OP doesn't get comments. The OP fails (an ace) If the OP gets comments, but the comments have no followup discussion, (maybe a point, but nothing interesting) If the OP gets comments and the comments get replies and those go on, each comment with it's own family of replies... (THAT is an interesting topic, obviously)
