Well, I actually do have issues with "proper forum software", since it is also full of worthless clutter which just makes conversations less easy to follow.

Then suggest a better way of doing it. As it stands, the talk page way of indenting, missing replies, fucking up addressing the right people and generating edit conflicts is a right pain in the ass.

Get rid of these boxes. Remove the pointless buttons. Make it an interface to the underlying format rather than this insane mix of parser tags. Remove the obnoxious "new messages" alert.
