...and yet, somehow other websites manage to host better forum software and still run acceptably fast. People rarely seem to ask for anything that's not already available elsewhere. Hell, why not just download PHPBB2 and sort it all out? :) I'm choosing to believe that Renderosity's site developers understand the consequence of adding the various requested features. Well, perhaps we shouldn't ask for new features then if Rendo's programmers and/or software architecture can't do it? Just a quick note the homepage "Warning: we've reached the limits of our programming / software architecture. Don't ask for anything new unless you want the site even slower than it is now." will do.
