You'll notice I'm not a huge long-term user at FlyerTalk (though I do remember lurking before the 4-way-split change, just vaguely remember). But I would agree that given UBB as a platform, it's amazing the amount of users and posts that are handled here.
I have two words for high-volume message boards, though: Web Crossing. Possibly Randy in mentioning that they've tried several will know why they dismissed this one if they've tried it. I know it would solve the personal list of forums feature, though (even though I personally never use web-based forums that way).
Just a thought. If Web Crossing is *not* one of the platforms that were investigated in the past, it could be worth a look. I don't know how long you're going to be able to patch this UBB together.
