A minor feature that might be nice to have, suitable for your B-list of things to implement if they're easy enough and whenever you acquire a circular tooit:
On the forum overview page (?id=31), for each forum, an indicator of how long it has been since the latest post.

Marx articles tracker :
After the financial panic triggered by Obama's election in 2007 swept the globe and made Marx "cool" again with some in the first world, a new genre of news and magazine articles formed, which I call the "Marx is still wrong" genre. The common traits of works in this genre are a faint tone of incredulity and bemusement, caricatures of Marx as a demagogue and secular messiah figure, caveats about the people involved not being Bolsheviks, and a fevered insistence that, while there is a real class ...

Anyway, let's back to the language. FIrst. to make it more cohesive. I should determine some sort of rules, namely phoneme and phonotactics.
For phoneme. The language will be roughly similar to middle Chinese. That means. it will have three series of stops, voiced, voiceless, aspirated.
The only fricative would be /s h/
The only liquid will be r-l which appears in variation simlar to korean, /r/ at the start of a syllable and /l/ at the end.
There will be six vowels /a e i o...
