You know, the funniest thing about that is that I almost react the same way when people talk with me about flat vs. threaded forums. OK - well honestly, I'm less abrasive.

Flat forums are kind of the opiate of the masses. Many flat forums have a high percentage of uninteresting and rather obnoxious discussions. Strangely enough most of those people seem to find our threaded forums 'intimidating', and they stay the hell away (so far). This keeps the quality of our discussions relatively higher...

So for the SAT analogy of the day:

C:C++ as threaded forums: ______ forums?

The answer is flat.
