This leads me to believe that it's cached somewhere? Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks.

functions_forumlist.php (in the includes folder)

Specifically the $forumbits variable used for the main output is constructed via this function within the functions_forumlist.php file

// ###################### Start makeforumbit #######################
// this function returns the properly-ordered and formatted forum lists for forumhome,
// forumdisplay and usercp. Of course, you could use it elsewhere too..
function construct_forum_bit($parentid, $depth = 0, $subsonly = 0)
