Is there such a thing as an MVC forum?

Never had anything to do with Beast, so I can't really comment. I do remember reading when it first came around that it was meant to be a forum written in 500 lines of code (I assume not including the underlying Rails codebase), so if the rewrite is this small also, maybe that explains why it looks like it's missing code to you.

[quote author="TheFuzzy0ne" date="1241017479"]I'm not quite sure where you've seen the use of static classes in CodeIgniter however, because by default, loading a model instantiates it in the global scope of the CodeIgniter Super Object. However, I do see what you mean. That class may as well be a static class.[/quote]

Yeah, I realised that after I posted my last comment. I'm glad you got my point despite my incorrect explanation. You're right of course, I should have said something like "calling methods from the model as if they were class methods ...". The -> syntax is so alien to me that it throws off my thinking sometimes. The inner workings of CI are also an unknown to me at this point.
