One downside to this format, even though i guess it's more legible, is the spacing bloat. Instead of 1 new line per reply on old-style talk page like Wikipedia still uses (and which old-style forums here allowed) we have:
 * 1) mandatory blank line after a post
 * 2) mandatory line dedicated to time posted
 * 3) another mandatory blank line
 * 4) a line dedicated to a line
 * 5) a line dedicated to next poster's username and thumbs-up
 * 6) another mandatory blank line

That's 6 extra lines per post, a lot more scrolling.
