If Steve wanted to try and eliminate the problems of the Database Errors... that was his only good option he could do to fix the forums so that it wouldn't keep crashing. He is doing his best to eliminating the problems. And pretty much the reason why the "Who's Viewing this Thread?" was removed, that way it wouldn't keep logging the list of all the members viewing the threads. And also... what I've heard... is that only the staff can now see that box now, and it's there for staff for a good reason: to see who is viewing the thread... so incase any problems occur... they can check to see who was last viewing the thread.
