Couple of questions:

How are sessions handled? Via PHP4's magic or is it VB homegrown?
How are the URL re-writes handled? I assume since you can turn it off it's not apache's mod_rewrite?

More to the point, if you have more than one web server in a load-balanced situation will the sessioning still work? (e.g. if the sessions are stored on the web server it would probably break but if it is stored in MySQL it probably wouldn't)

Is the censor word code the same as 1.X? There is/was a bug where you could do something like this:
disestablish[.b][./b]mentarianism

(obviously w/o the dots)

and it would show the word since the checking program looks for the string "disestablishmentarianism" rather than what is output in HTML. Is this fixed in 2.0? Few of the users have figured it out so it's no big deal (I wrote a fix besides) but it is something that needs looked at (if not already).

Session information is stored in the database.
