Reason for removed features/tables

• refer - referrer tracking, use cpanel referrer stats instead
• reports - user reports for rule-breaking content, site isn't active enough to justify this (use private message to admin instead)
• words - swear filter table, rather incomplete and any inappropriate content can be handled with a ban/delete anyway
• faves - mostly unused, seems unnecessary to have
• config - replaced with hard-coded/file-based config
• spellcheck - built into browsers these days, also only used for search
• ratings for articles - the most rated article has 2 ratings, and the majority of things are unrated. doesn't seem worth keeping
• [page] bbcode tag - only used in 1 article. replaced with headings instead
• The "pits" feature, files will still exist but no way to update them will be provided
• Multiple themes, implementing the default black theme only

Thanks for keeping the log. I agree with each of the removed feature reasons outlined.
