I wasn't concerned with the users as you seem to have that covered. I 
was mostly concerned with broken threads and how they were treated.

Good job!

Will you be /Are you ... involved in setting up the official Mageia 
forums? This is a great example of what can be accomplished and 
especially with controlling the broken threads problem. In my opinion, 
the broken thread problem is a really big disruption and, from what I 
gather from the posts, is that a lot of broken posts are the result of 
the users' choice of mail readers. This would solve the problem ... as 
long as it doesn't cause too much work for the Forums admin who may have 
to merge broken posts by hand.

I guess you will only know about the problem with the broken posts and 
the amount of work they require only after the board is up for a while. 
Hope it is not too much work to maintain it.
