"making them harder to sort, read, etc"

Actually I think it's more ordered, because as Bunai said "Discussions are easy to spot and are sorted in ascending order. So new threads are always first."

Besides when people do not use the talk page the right way, and or forget so sign, if that happens frequently it can be such a hassle to add those signs afterwards. (I don't know if you do that here, but there's a template solely for that reason.)

I don't view the message wall any way different than the forums (except for maybe small details)
