Honestly would it be possible to switch to vBulletin? I'm a moderator on a vBulletin powered site, and that thing never gives us problems unless we install a rogue plugin.
@Ragin' I'm unsure, honestly I'd rather MLP Forums run on it's own software instead of relying on something like vBulletin or I.P. Board. Seems like a better way to go in the long run.
I know only admins can see that, but I am just saying I am glad that I am not dealing with that stuff anymore. It got so bad at one point that I couldn't even post anything.
