The software may get a ton more people using it if it had:
- Add/Edit/Remove forum
- Templating System (Dosen't need to be anything big, str_replace does the trick)
- Language System (I'm not a fan of lower case text in TTF)
That would allow a lot more flexibility in the software so people could customise the look of it easier, the language thing could be just an array like $lang['create_new_thread'] is "create a new thread" in English.

lucas, i'm willing to work on the forum tools section if you can give me some design (code and otherwise) pointers.
i thought you already had most of it working, db.
i'd like to discuss it with you, but i don't have much time at the moment.
weasley: i would like to get it cleaned up and finished, but i don't care about getting other people to use it. i'd like it to be nice and clean for my sake (and people who use it), but i don't care about getting new people to use it (software evangelism).

almost all of it is if i remember correctly. weasley, if you want to sync up with me we can work on that branch that has the forum tools (also some thread level tools). i'd love some code critiques as well as some design ideas. email me at d (no space) brown29 at gmail dot com if you're interested.
Here's a so-so suggestion on how to implement the thread editor.

I will do it but please take a look at http://groups.google.com/group/think-tank-forums and tell me if you still want me to do it. :(

yeah, i've reported all of that spam (whatever that accomplishes) and have made the group moderated since then
also, i don't see any posts that you've sent to the group
I didn't post yet. Will now.
Does this mean it's impossible to remove the spam from http://groups.google.com/group/think-tank-forums ? (Well, I guess you answered that already. It's impossible directly.. EDIT: or maybe it *is* possible: http://groups.google.com/group/groupsknowniss … 8f5108bcb# )
PS: posted!
