The new system works more like the comments on an article or YouTube would, than how I expect a forum to work. I don't like it and hope they change it back.

A forum system feels like there needs to be an order to comments and replies. With the ability to bump a certain reply up, and being able to bury replies, this inherently leads to popular users being able to get their replies seen, and less-known users not seen. I'll demonstrate. You are now on top. This shouldn't be the case. Chronological order, it feels, should be a necessity to a forum structure.
