John,

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you've "over supported" this hack by accomodating too many requests for features. I use it because it saves a lot of time managing my forums. If I have to constantly keep updating, it defeats the purpose. As it is, I'm numerous versions behind because I don't have the time and it would be quite a chore to update to the latest version. It must be a huge burden on you to keep releasing new versions. Since a modular approach isn't feasable perhaps it would be easiest to release a somewhat basic version for 3.5. If users want more features they can add them themselves instead of having it incorporated into the hack and releasing new versions all the time. Maybe a "how do I add this feature?" thread where you can help other users and other users can help each other do this would be useful. You could use that information to conduct a poll 3-4x/year to determine which of those features are "must have" improvements for future versions.
