Well, the NEWGROUPS command is acting as it is by design. The way Phorum
works (the message board software) is that it has a 'forums' table that
doesn't track the date of creation of a new message board (you can have
several), so I'm just replying with all the groups for this specific
'backend'.

If I ever develop another backend for say, phpBB (another message board
software), I will obviously need to create another script to handle the
specific issues of this software.

And I also make the code work first before optimizing, it's just that the
code is working perfectly right now but I need to make sure it handles a
load of 20 to 30 simultaneous users.
