 * Hello,
 * You did a really good job with this plugin, thank you!
 * I have some questions:
 * Is safe to use this plugin for big forum (with 10000 or more people)?
 * Could this plugin slow down a website if multiple user are using it?
 * What’s the difference between this and a phpbb forum Or sfm?
 * Are thread stored somewhere? I mean is this plugin using the WordPress database
   to store data? My problem is what’s happen if I have to change domain…

 * Hello vrrebels,
 * it should be relatively safe. There will be a lot of optimizations in the upcoming
   v1.0.10 release which should reduce the amount of database queries.
 * The difference between phpBB/smf and Asgaros Forum is the full integration in
   WordPress. It is not a standalone forum software and uses a lot of integrated
   features of WordPress (hooks, user management, widget for example).
 * Threads are stored in the same database where WordPress is installed but inside
   own tables (forum_posts, forum_threads, forum_forums). Only the forum-categories
   are saved as terms inside the WordPress term tables so they can be extended more
   easily. Changing your domain should not have any impact.

 * Thank you very much for your answer!
 * I want just to suggest you an amazing feature that I saw in big sites, this will
   require a lot of work probably but is really a “Nice to have” feature:
 * Have a forum “News”(for exemple) where all the post published go automatically
   there.
 * So you create a wordpress post and when you publish it the plugin automatically
   creates a thread in the forum “news” with the name as title post and in the content
   a link to the post.
 * Moreover it would be very nice if when people comments a post, the comment goes
   directly in the thread automatically created, like an answer to the previuosly
   created thread!
 * Maybe I’m dreaming but this could be a huge feature!
 * Thank you for your time 🙂

 * Yeah, maybe this could be something which can be added in a future release some
   day. I think the automatic creation of threads when you create a new post could
   be already possible when you hook in some of the WordPress core functions.
 * Something like:
 *     ```
       add_action('after_create_post' 'create_forum_thread');
       function create_forum_thread($some_args) {
           // author = some_args->author_id;
           // title = some_args->title;
           // content = some_args->content;
           // INSERT INTO wp_forums_thread (title, etc ...) WHERE wp_forums_forum.name = "News"
           // INSERT INTO wp_forums_post (content, author, time, etc ...)
       }
       ```
   
 * This is only some pseudo-code but it should be possible. 🙂
 * I added it to the list:
