Yes. I shouldn't have used a loaded term like inside information to refer to what was merely knowledge that some relevant capabilities do exist within vBulletin. I don't yet know what they are, but I'm sure many users of vBulletin do.
When I learn more specifically what capabilities exist I am confident that IB will have no problem with discussion of those capabilities here. After all, these are features available to any customers of the forum software.
Discussion of what IB might or might not want to develop just for us would probably be proprietary. That's where the TalkBoard might have to just document our wishes.
Bolding mine:. Yeah, but you did

and are you saying that TalkBoard gets to know but the members whom TalkBoard represents don't get to know and the members have to take TalkBoard's word for it? Doesn't seem very transparent, does it?
