If it was 2003, I'd suggest Proboards or Invisionfreak or one of their numerous clones. Proboards is a nightmare these days, though, even before you get to the accessibility problems. So we'd be better off moving to Reddit and installing some extensions or whatever to clean up our subreddit for accessibility. Or even just forking a reddit clone, since it's open source and all.
Mostly, I like Proboards version 3 or 4, minus any CAPCHAs that snuck in. Something like that, but updated (rather than the eldrich abomination that we got with Proboards5), maybe with something like threading to avoid quote-trains, would be nice.
Actually, how would a threaded forum for screen readers work? Yeah, hotkeys for jumping around at the same conversation level, or using clever nesting tricks would be fine for PC users. But on iOS I have no idea what level a comment is on Reddit or WordPress, and have to guess based on context clues and the reply time. And all the controls that one has to deal with get messy, too. And we can't do quick speech profile adjustments that can be triggered by HTML (anyone remember SAPI SML?), which would be an interesting feature to have but has never been practical... ugh.
Meditate on this, I must.
