From my experience there's positives and negatives to both types of forums. On the ones where each new post bumps it back to the top of the page, time and time again I've seen a thread dissolve away from the original topic with two guys "visiting" back and forth about something non-related, and it's mildly aggravating to click on a post about clutches and find a page and a half of two guys talking to each other about whether they're gonna be at next weekend's tractor show. On the other hand, there's always a chance that someone will have responded down below those two guys with some good advice about the original topic.

On this type of forum there seems to be more direct technical discussion, and if the two guys want to BS with each other on a thread, it's two pages back in no time and not as likely to bother anyone else. By the same token though, sometimes there's so many posts in one day that your technical question might be a page or two back before all the "experts" get a chance to log in and help ya, which lessens the chance of getting the advice you're seeking.

I like and use both types of forums. When ya think about it, either version is sure leaps and bounds above the ability most of us had ten years ago to access all the expertise, information, and friendly talk and advice that's now only a few clicks away.
