Did you try switching to the tree view? It looks almost like reddit, IMO.
Also, you can't really evaluate a web-forum by just looking at their 
online forum, Did you try installing a local copy and experiment with it?
all modern web forums are completely customizable via template systems 
and themes, but you need to be an admin to see that. Basically you can 
change the entire UI by changing the template.
