For examples of good presentation I suggest you look at other forums used by subscribers to the old Key Publishing site.

For example:
Great War Forum (https://www.greatwarforum.org/),

RAFCommands (http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?1-General-Category) or

12 O’Clock High (http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/index.php)
