I enjoy the forum post.
Until you get loads of replies that simply copy and paste part or all of a post. This can often make the post very confusing.
It can also lead to two or more persons having a pointless and sometimes very boring slanging match.
Perhaps a word limit on the size of each post would help?
There is a maximum character but don't recall what it is. Had a notification I was over it once but was a few years back and had to trim my post to allow it to be posted.
