Let me respond to this in greater detail. This site uses FluxBB, a pretty widely-used bulletin board system. It's definitely been beta tested. You can certainly edit posts. You can most definitely quote posts. I think there is a limit on how deeply quote of quote of quotes (etc.) can be embedded, but I haven't seen anyone bump into that limit.
Now, I will grant you this: FluxBB is not fancy. The lack of special support for links to YouTube is an example. I'm hoping there's a plug-in that will address this. Stand by.
That said, there is a certain minimalist philosophy I bring to IT in the rare cases where I get to call the shots, and it's not negotiable. It's basically this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better.
We've all used sites and programs that are flabby with pointless graphics, stupid animation, infuriating delay-loaded images, and seldom-used whizbang features. We're not going down that road here. We're here to insult each other and post MS Paint art. The necessary features to support that are in place.
