X-Threads Capability Vs. Plugin Capability

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

I don't think your idea is possible.  Sandboxing kills interactability.  Besides, if there was some magical way to stop exploits, it would make sense to have this in the MyBB core rather than this plugin.  I doubt PHP even has much of an ability to do this.

And emulation is simply infeasible.  If you've played with console emulators, I'm sure you'll know.  As an example, a 3MHz SNES console can require an absurd amount of computing power to emulate, using a low level emulator like bsnes (the recommended requirements are a Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom class CPU).  And this is with a compiled language BTW.  A purely interpreted language like PHP is going to be far slower.

It was very tedious and annoying having to go to each individual forum and do the same....exact....thing over and over again until I finally finished them all (same thing with these templates, why can't we find some way to make it where we could use one template for all forums and just tie the forms into them via the custom thread fields?

If they're very similar, you shouldn't need to.  Thread fields can be applied to multiple forums.  Forums can use the same template prefix, and you can specify multiple prefixes so that they mostly use the same templates.
