Spy will have to be re-written. The original code was a hack posted on vbulletin.org and it's horrendous.
I want it too, but it will be a phase 3 requirement whereby:
Phase 1: Make the site work on all devices in the new branding and simplify everything by stripping out un-needed complexity (which includes Spy).
Phase 2: Add a light colour scheme and some features that were in hindsight proved to be a simplifaction too far.
Phase 3: Add back any features that are complex and in demand (should include Spy).
Spy also needs re-writing just to make sure it works with things like the ignore functionality which it currently doesn't. I suspect I'll need to use a push mechanism to make Spy scale too... if I get Spy right then it will be far more useful than it is now.
Oh, and live updates to threads falls into the complexity camp too.
