I know most people won't use the default templates but I think it's a
necessary change.
In my humble oppinion it's too easy for the user to create a new thread. So
easy that it could be confused with sending a reply post if you have many
tabs opened in your browser with different thread lists or whatsoever.
In terms of usability it adds more excise (effort to do something) when
creating a new thread, but on the other hand it's completely necessary as
well because it's a more serious task compared to sending a simple post. We
rarely create threads in every forum we enter, so it doesn't make sense to
render the same form so many times if we are only going to use it a few
occasions.
