Odd about Acura World...the number of total messages doesn't exactly jive with what their individual forum totals add up to for posts. The entire landing page for the site contains threads with no replies. To me, that says the forum is dead.
Yet there's Acurazine, which has a lot of activity but, alas, is hosted by a company I don't like (scroll down to the bottom). Another forum, mdxers.org, is also with VerticalScope but has activity. There is also TSXclub hosted at Verticalscope, which I've had to visit a few times. The problem with that forum is that the TSX hasn't been sold since 2013, so most of the content is older, and getting current answers is difficult.
One thing I noticed VS doing is registering domains and creating forums for upcoming car models. They are gambling on owners flocking to them and generating ad revenue. They get a little activity, but not like the older forums that have been around since the 2000s.

Fora's threaded threads (nested replies).

threaded threads ... see a new approach (Reddit like) here.
I'm currently getting a quote to have a Reddit style node type developed. If you'd like to throw in a suggestion on how it should work please do. Being a node type it could be a standalone or nested in a category. The thread view will be collapsed until the title is clicked and it will expand to allow comments. Sort of like this image.
The thread view.

From what I’ve seen it very old style graphics.

Yep with nested comments that make the page we view look bad.

Dude, calm down, the page looks good, and there are a lot of people interested in such an addon. Since 2013 there are a lot of suggestions about nested comments because it's convenient. If you don't like it, don't use it.

I think they may have been referring to proboards.com at least I was.
This is pretty old style.

Yeah but it's not your forum.
Proboards scams people by moderating everything.
I have friends on it that should be over here using xenforo's cloud system.

I'm impressed that it's taken this long for the community to sponsor a threaded view, given how long and how much it's been requested. Awesome to see this approach - I wouldn't call it a new approach (more like bringing back a very old one!), but I would call it refreshing and certainly different for a typical XF forum.threaded threads ... see a new approach (Reddit like) here.

We looked at it like "bringing conversation back to forums". It's something I've wanted for a long time. It was just a matter of finding the right developer to make it happen. Phase one is finished and frozen except for bug fixes (none found in last few days).
