In all fairness it's not just my opinion. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> With regards to Classic users "upgrading" (only out of necessity, not personal choice) to Threads, I can't think of a single one who is doing so because Threads offers _anything_ better apart from a MySql database backbone. It's sad, but true. If Classic was based on a database... not a single Classic user would bother giving Threads a look. No chance at all.
Don't get me wrong - this is not just about Classic being so good. If I had to upgrade to Open Topic, I'd be more than glad to do so if I could run it on my own server (purchase the software). But Threads looks truly appaling, and as I've mentioned before, I've yet to find a Threads board that doesn't look "amateurish"...
Take a random count of 100 internet users and I'm certain most will say that Classic looks more professional. Compare Threads to Open Topic and you have a complete mismatch - OT looks light years ahead in terms of design.
Even in terms of functionality OT is on a different level, which makes me wonder why the people developing Threads don't copy some of the ideas to catch up and make Threads a professional product - not just from the inside, but also from the outside.
