Temporary Forum Oddities

@grymmjack -  Plug-ins will never be as good unless made by same caliber of developer as that which they plug-in to.

This reminds me of a saying: "If you want something to be really good, make it yourself!"

Working with forum plugins reminds me of an old saying as well: "Two steps forward, one step back."  

Every time we implement a couple of new things, half of them end up having to be reverted as they just won't work properly without glitching out somewhere, or bugging out something else that we'd installed previously.  Honestly, it truly does seem like that for every two plugins we install (two steps forward), we end up having to remove one of them (and that's the step back).

Who knew programming was so much like a line dance sometimes??

Part of it is the way the plug-ins work together.

Some are just clobbering each other.

The MyBB architecture is really well made, no lie.

Also, considering everyone that's made stuff with it (especially me) was new to MyBB and didn't understand how things worked and just got busy messing with stuff, are we surprised at this outcome? I'm not.

Also also, what fun would it really be if it was just "I want this" then "You got that". The journey is where the "fun" is
