So what you're effectively saying is "fuck the long time users who contribute heavily and make the forum what it is, we can just ignore what they want because it doesn't matter".
What's stopping you from creating a new forum that is set up the way you want it and leaving this one alone? I haven't seen Dave jump in here yet but it's his joint, ultimately it's his choice what goes and what doesn't.

And I'm seriously curious to see Discourse forum of the scale close to this forum. We would have better things to discuss if we could actually have something for comparison.

There are reasons why the don't exist anymore. They're not readable across devices, for one. Their architecture scales horribly. Dave is paying for every line HTML you read and all the code that runs that.

Maybe you can explain how buying a newspaper again is going to give me a usable news website? News should not be competing with facebook, social networking is a cancer that has spread throughout society, if I wanted the facebook experience I'd be on facebook but I abandoned that years ago too when it became less useful after every update.
Bullshit, all manner of sites have mobile and desktop versions, this one included, though the mobile interface sucks now it was quite good on the previous version and I used it heavily.

And you're just used to Discourse and complaining because this isn't it. Oh, and it's not phpBB, either.
