Hi wecreateyou,
Good question, and sorry for the delay in responding here, had to take down then re-setup a multisite to test this with, as I couldn't recall whether it was multi-threaded or not.
And as it turns out it's not multi-threaded. Responses run downward in a single thread as illustrated here.

Oh, I think I misunderstood you there, sorry if so! If you're referring to the forums here, they're actually based on bbPress, the original standalone version, and for that matter, I didn't really even notice whether they were threaded or not.
Threads in these forums could potentially add a layer of complexity to support requests but also would provide a neat way to interact in discussions. I'll ask a couple of the the other guys over here what thoughts they might have on it.
Actually you got it right. I was asking about the plugin... but I thought this forum was running the "Forum" plugin, but as you say it's bbPress. I really want them so I'll have to look elsewhere.
I completely understand the point about support and threaded forums.
Since I think we need a way to be more social I'm suggesting...
1. A chat room for people with at least 100 points.
2. A Wiki that can only be posted to if you have 1000 points. The type of stuff a Lifetime member could document in a wiki would have huge benefits for WPMUdev and it's community.
3. Private Instant Messaging!
4. Bonus suggestion (drum roll) ... Maybe just try communities plugin for a trial period see how it goes...

Hiya,
I think the forums plugin is really targeted at a simple solution to adding forums to a site without the bloat of bbPress. For anything more, bbPress really is a much better alternative for serious forum functionality. Hence why we use it here ;)

I'd like to add this as a feature suggestion... I really think these forums (WPMUdev) could use greatly benefit as well.
Thanks DavidM
