Instead of placing every single post in real time to the spy, how about just just listing the thread titles in the order of most recent post to them... and the user who made the post. Maybe you can even find a way to show how many new posts were made to the thread since we last viewed it. This way when some nut job enters a thread and has some sort of psychotic episode, the rest of the site members don't see the flood of mindless babble. I have recently been subjected to numerous witless posts by an extraordinarily creepy member of this site, so I thought I'd suggest this while it was still fresh in my mind. It won't be as good as feeding the vermin some rat poison, but it will certainly make the forum home page less chaotic.
Besides.... the forum spy doesn't function properly, and you guys at Boonex need to work on it anyways.
