In my opinion the technology used should be determined by what the users are there to do. In the case of MOS or any forum-style site, I don't see flash or ajax adding to the user experience. Flash and ajax are all about interactivity, which isn't really what people go to MOS and forums for. They just want to read.

Cheers

The HTML version of MOS is better than the flash one, but I still think it is worse than the old APEX ver
