re: why can't other forums master the layout like Chicken and co. have done?

You need to get out more. This site uses old web technology. Like 10-15 years old. It's nowhere near modern. Trust me, this is what I do for a living.

Look at the URL, you'll see ".aspx"

.aspx is a Microsoft server-side web framework called ASP.NET MVC. It's very old and not commonly used today. Most modern websites use a client-side javascript framework (Angular, React, etc.) - which is what I use.

ETA: I'm not positive because there's no sure way to tell, but I think the forum aspects of this site are from an old 3rd party library that used to be common - meaning it wasn't even designed or developed by whomever created this site. I don't know that for sure though.
