If the output isn't dynamic how do moderators have moderator tools and others don't?
Member A views a board/post. The data is retrieved from the database, and the output is displayed. The output is also added to a cache.
Members B to ZZZZA see the contents of this cache.
Member ZZZZB views a board/post a certain amount of time later, and updates the contents of this cache.
Continue ad infinitum.
The unwanted side-effects of this can be seen when a non-member updates the cache and that annoying "you must join to interact" message appears for a while.
Of course, only Achronos actually knows what happens. This is what I have gathered from experience. He can now come here and rip this post apart.
I understood very, veeeery little of that post.
