What I mean by modern forum software are the software that has nested comments rather than threaded like phpBB does. Discourse, NodeBB, and Flarum are a few that come to mind. Even Reddit could count though honestly they all feel a bit like old message boards to me. Anyways do you enjoy using forums that are powered by modern platforms or do you prefer threaded forums like Xenforo, phpBB, etc? I personally prefer the threaded ones but I don't mind using the modern ones. Discourse and NodeBB can be difficult to install if you're not familiar with Linux since they can only be hosted on a VPS. Flarum can be uploaded to shared hosting so if you wanted to try it out, you'd just need to upload the files to your server.

I enjoy threaded forums the most, it's what I grew up on and just enjoy using.

I don't like threaded forums, but to each their own. It's a subjective thing.
