My role there is quite limited, pretty much just deputy spam patrol.

With suggestions, you or anyone else has as much weight as I might, but 
with alternate interfaces to the forum I have to say that Peter 
Haworth's reminder of the RSS option is a very good one.

The RSS feed the forums puts out is pretty complete, and allows you to 
view it in the reader of your choice - and of course it's simple to also 
make your own in LiveCode.
