I don't think you understand the suggestion. They are talking about notifications.

MyBB was developed several years ago. Cell phones were starting to get a grip on the public. Texting wasn't nearly as popular yet, Twitter nonexistent. Email was relatively new, so was Facebook.
Today, we are in 2012. People are used to instant notifications. They want commenting, they want instant alerts, they want some social-networking-like features on the websites they visit (hopefully) daily.
It is time for MyBB to modernize. If every suggested feature is "better as a plugin", then why the heck have 2.0. Why not just 1.10, 1.12, 1.14. After all, it's good enough. It inches past standards. No leaping past expectations, just inching, if even passing.

Great post, agree with everything here.
I support this idea as well. And if there are problems with queries, bandwidth etc. then make it optional aka add the ability to disable/enable this

I could just make a bunch of accounts and lock up a shared hosting account. It's not smart.

Then there should be a plugin for ajax notifications that auto-refresh ( I know there's a PM ajax alert plugin today ) and they are warned it uses more bandwith. But most hosts now a days are unlimited bandwidth (atleast mine).
You know that's not REALLY unlimited, right?
And FYI, my host, among many others, gives finite resources.
Hawkhost - Finite
SpeedySparrow (mine) - Finite
ASmallOrange - Finite
There are more, I just don't have a list of 100s of hosts.
Do you have an UNLIMITED hard drive in your computer? Nor does your host. They will suspend you if you exceed limits usually hidden in an AUP, TOS, or other agreement.
Do read what he said once again. He said unlimited Bandwidth, not unlimited disk space. There are hosts that don't limit how much bandwidth your site uses.

Really? Can you tell me one?
Same with bandwidth, if you are going to be so picky about my one-word error. No hosts will give you 100% unlimited. Try using a few terabytes on shared, and see what the host says.

99.999% of the time it's not really unlimited.
