BP Feature: Nested Forum Posts for longer threads

Inevitably, popular posts will start to have several conversations going on in one linear fashion. By the time you see someone replied to your comment, they could be several comments or pages down. Other users can't follow the thread without reading through every single comment. 

Easy solution is like reddit. Allow people to reply to a particular comment (or the main original post) which creates a sub-thread that can be expanded or collapsed for easy navigation.

This would make the forums far more useful. I would spend more time on the BP forums. It can get overwhelming trying to learn/contribute something to a thread with multiple pages and about 15 conversations going on.
