Don't Do This! :)

So yesterday I was thinking to myself "hmmmm... I wish I could disable a module without shutting down the BBS." I have one that acts funky, so I wanted to completely remove it. It's not one that exists on the menu tree, so the "disable" command wasn't an option.
Then I had the bright idea to just rename the module.MDF file to module.DMD and the BBS would take care of it at the next cleanup. Bad idea. Don't do that. :) The cleanup routine looks for the .MDF file of anything that was loaded, and if it's not there... PANIC!
Just in case anyone else ever thinks to try to do this. :)
