I'm mostly trying to avoid overhead and complexity with variable lookups. If the structure of the variable is planned out right, I think it's unlikely to become an issue, though I won't raise a stink if you guys decide otherwise.
I tend to try to minimize complexity as much as possible in some areas as it usually ends up a headache. For example, I'm discovering what a fracking PITA php's DOM library is, because someone decided it would be clever to convert everything it touches to UTF8. All I want is xpath matching, nstead I'm having to deal with spacebattle's iso8859 txt getting mangled.

It's famous for it's vs debates, there are threads here people discuss stuff like Darth Vader fighting Kai from Lexx, or if Culture GSV could defeat the Reapers from Mass Effect. There's also a very active creative writing forum with stuff not found on fanfiction (3 Iain Banks fanfics for example). Pulling stories from threads where comments - and author replies to comments - are mixed in with story posts is a big pain. At least it was; sbattles.source.php is mostly functional now. ^^
The module should be easy to adapt to most vbulletin forums, I think.
