Thumbs up Why doesn't Forumer activate these features

Often Forumer advises administrators to go to FMods to get a mod for a feature that is available
if only Forumer would activate it (like many other free forum hosting services do). Examples:

Theres a mod to allow for larger smilies than Forumer allows but just a small increase by
Forumer and this mod would not be needed.

This smilie would be available on many free forum hosting sites but you need a mod at Forumer...



Although Forumer allows forum users to choose a different skin on their phpBB forums
not so on their IPB forums even though many free forum hosting sites allow for such, but
you need a mod at Forumer...



At FMods theres another mod for such things as adding a gender field upon registration
but this feature is already available in version IPB 1.3 as many other free
forum hosting sites allows but, you will need a mod at Forumer...



Now it might seem that I am really bitching about the lack of features at Forumer but I would perfer to stay with Forumer since and in spite of the troubles with server 4, I believe the support is generally better.

With a few small tweaks of the software many of these mods would be unnecessary and would make a big difference in the usefulness and would allow a better forum experience for forum users if Forumer would just activate these features.

Since many smaller and lesser supported free forum hosting sites, who I would guest also have less capacity, allow these features it could not be that Forumer deactivates these features because of server load.

So I am asking, while Forumer is upgrading server 4 and making other changes to improve their free service to all of us that appreciate Forumer support and their free hosting service, why not activate these features and make the "Forumer experience" more productive and enjoyable. I'm sure that many others, besides myself, would be very appreciative.

Faster service is NOT the reason that these features that I have posted are not activated. They may be others but faster service is not one of them.

I agree 100% so I ask the powers that be (limez) why don't you at least activate these three features that I have mentioned in my original post?

If not, why not?

You do have a point there, I registered an IPB with another host one day and there was a lot of things that were there on IPB 1.3 that we don't have. It would be nice to have some of them.

No, it is in 1.3 too. I think it may be because if each forum was to add 10 custom fields it would put more strain on the servers, dont quote me on that though
