Apparently it lags the server and people rely on it heavily/independently to use the forum.
I mean I view it each time I log on to see who's commented on my post(s) so I can reply back if needed and to find previously viewed threads.
It's a pain not to have it, but tbh even with it disabled the Beyoncé thread which had 70k+ views was still laggy.
The server is slow as **** now, this isn't really better.
It was nothing
