A simpler answer is that while Rick is one awesome guy he is one awesome guy. I think Rick has brought UBBThreads a heck of a long way in a very short time. (which is not to put down where it came from either []/forum/images/icons/smile.gif[/] )
One thing people seem to be missing is that while UBThreads 6 doesn't add 75 new features it adds two important base qualities that will allow all these features to be added:
All the HTML being moved to templates
All the work that Rick did to make the database use more efficient.
Once 6.0 is put to bed the ground work will have been laid to start piling all the cool features in there.
Just remember that all those features do come at the expense of efficiency and speed. It just made more sense to get that part baselined in the best manner before adding anything else.
As far as hacks go... I don't think there will ever come a day when there are no people working on hacks. I hope not anyway. []/forum/images/icons/smile.gif[/]
