Changing The Way MyBB Does Threads

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

I don't think XThreads would be relevant to most of that.
Redirecting to a thread listing is something you'll need to do.
Default thread ordering is a MyBB option.
Denying users the ability to create threads is MyBB permissions.
Stripping other functionality is either MyBB permissions or unrelated to threads.

The only place where XThreads would be relevant would be with styling threads, which is rather trivial to do, as shown in http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=25
