I look forward to updates on this concept.

I actually hadnt thought of that erwin, my general idea was for it to be seamlessly integrated into the forum itself, but now that you mention it. Really is a great idea, considering not having to use "any" connection.
Also, if mysql went down the potential would be there for people to still read thread in some cases, if I can put together a script that uses Vbulletins code to reproduce a queryless forum.
Ps. anyone got any ideas on reducing memory usage, or about the increase in file size sequentially. I know its not that big of a deal as we can adjust the sizes for memory limit... but I want this hack to be available to everyone, not just those that can manually tweak their settings.
