Yes most of them are laid out so that that works well.
The easy to read table format -
Columns to show - Thread title, who posted, number of views, number of replies, who and when the last response was.
And inside the thread it's all neatly I'm boxes, no thread going left to right and back again all over the page zigzagging.
And it's clear to see who is replying to what with the "reply and quote" function. Here if you come to a thread that has 40 or 50 various responses and sub-responses you have to carefully investigate posting dates and times to be able to hazard a best guess as to who is responding to what.
Having threads move based on usage doesn't really work with this format.
