The current version (1.1) has a base render hook that will never add a module. Now this is all fine and dandy, since you are really just using this plugin as vector to override the new discussion module. I would suggest swapping out the entire plugin class methods and replace with the below code:

protected function RefreshModuleCache() {
  // Refresh the autoloader cache
  Gdn_Autoloader::SmartFree('library', 'newdiscussionmodule');
}

public function Setup() {
  $this->RefreshModuleCache();
}

public function OnDisable() {
  $this->RefreshModuleCache();
}

This will remove the cache for the new discussion module whenever the plugin is enabled/disabled. The SmartFree() method is actually not smart at all. As far as I can tell it completely wipes out the cache. In the future it might be a little smarter. But now I am rambling.

Ok thanks for that. I tested it and revised the plugin based on your recommendations . So that makes 9 ways of doing this and counting
