No, and here are few reasons why?

1) Majority of users are right handed and as such your cursor is generally on the right side of the screen making it easier to click on the buttons on the right hand side.

2) Vast majority of applications (non just those on the web) display buttons on the right, by having FUDforum do the same, we give the user something that they have gotten used to.

Inflexible standards are often worse then no standards at all. The so called standard was original UBB, which simply got copied as far as basic layout ever since by almost every forum's package. It was not copied because it was good, etc... merely simply because it was there and it is always easier to duplicate that to come up with something original.

The layout had and still has many inherit flaws, which other developers are simply afraid to break because of 'backwards compatibility' reasons. Even if a better idea came across they wouldn't change simply because it might weird out some users. Afterall, any change initialy always encounters stiff resistance.
