Limit drops out of DBM partnership
One of the issues with some of the functionality is that many of the top guilds are building a lot into (custom) WeakAura's since the process to do so is (a lot) quicker. The afterimage didn't get marked until someone requested it on Github, for example. Still prefer BW, they iterate a lot and they listen to community requests on Github (changes that are easy to make are implemented in days).

[help] Can anyone help troubleshoot this ERT timer?
The probable answer is wrong spell ID. Bigwigs GitHub lists 325236 as a spell ID used for glyph if destruction in addition to the number you provided. So change 325361 for 325236. I have bigwigs github bookmarked for this reason

Is there a way to figure out if someone is fooling dbm or bigwigs addon checks?
Theoretically it's possible but you'll have to keep your own addon up to date with BigWigs's messaging. Here's the relevant part you have to catfish BigWigs : https://github.com/BigWigsMods/BigWigs/blob/master/Loader.lua#L713, you will also need to find the specific part used to check that other person have big wigs. I would advise to keep a low profile with this addon because if the creator of big wigs want to make it difficult for you the addon maintenance will become a nightmare.

[help] replicating this look inside WOW
You'll need to be able to code, but so long as you know how to read essentially any sort of code, you should be able to figure out how to use oUF using their documentation: https://github.com/oUF-wow/oUF/wiki and wowpedia for information on the wow API specifically: https://wow.gamepedia.com/World_of_Warcraft_API
What are some alternatives?
When comparing BigWigs and oUF you can also consider the following projects:
WeakAuras2 - World of Warcraft addon that provides a powerful framework to display customizable graphics on your screen.
SageMetaTool - A universal launcher tool for most sage engine games that brings important engine updates and adds unique new features like 60 FPS and new gamemodes.
