In May 2009, DataLounge launched another comprehensive redesign of the site, dubbed "V6", allowing users to embed photos and YouTube videos, as well as mark specific threads to watch. The new site was auto-refreshed in real-time as new posts were created, and nonpaying members were at first permitted to start threads, but that quickly changed. The DataLounge webmaster explained in introducing the redesigned site that the transition was largely dictated by the effect of tabbed web browsing, which resulted in users constantly using their browsers' refresh function and overloading the servers, sending the site into constant Primetime mode. Shortly after launching V6, however, the webmaster reinstituted Primetime, in part due to a rapid proliferation of racist trolls. (DataLounge's anonymity has made it a troll target from the beginning, but the site has seen a significant uptick in disruptive/offensive posts over the past decade.)
