That was danneu's point - that any forum that actually implements most of what people will want out of it (just to start with - separate subforums/categories, user permissions, tags, thread and user following, local and email alerts, broad formatting options, media embeds, per-user display settings, etc etc...) is going to be well beyond "basic" just to get a userbase in the first place.
