Is there a reason for this or is it just something that y'all never got around to fixing?

Typically an apostrophe is an SQL reserved character. This can be coded around, but is a pain. More than likely it would require a change to the db structure. Thus it is easier to strip them out.

So Texags basically runs on an antiquated db that is probably too much of a pain to upgrade... Even for a midern business? Got it.

Weren't we able to have apostrophes in thread titles before? I never noticed it until a few months ago.
