ok, so i got to the point where the arguments about whos vb seo thingy was bigger... i mean better and i stopped reading so i dont know if what i am going to say was covered or not. my thanks goes out to anyone whom is attempting to better this community. both immortal and dean alike.

- %20 should never be in a url... period

- filenames should never be longer(at max) than 31 charcters. its a mac thing

- does this hack have any way to actually prevent duplicate content being spidered by the search enginges?

and yes from what i have read about this hack is that the queries need to be reduced. but knowing that comes from having seen a vbforum die at about 500 users on at one time using a 512 server. mysql is a memory sucking beast. the less times you call upon the evil the better... period. if i were to install this hack on the 10k unique a day forums that i considered in the first place, it would crash the box or jsut slow everything down to a snails pace. even with the 4 gigs of ram that are now in that server.

it seemed like the dean guy was trying to offer some advice, perhaps he should have done so via pm instead of being a jerk and jsut tellign everyone not to install. that wasnt right.

my two cents... i will be looking back into this from time to time, thanks again for the work, i bet version 5 will be awesome (and most likly paid )
