Perhaps someone could modernise this forum. For example on other forums those contributing have IDs. The site keeps a record of the number of your posts, you can search through all posts by such a poster etc. Members of the community would be easily recognisable by their ID (and avatar) and there would be no mix up in people with the same name. Also people could if they wish link their name to a profile with contact details and other pieces of info, location etc.
http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/traslation is a great example of this. Check me out by searching for "éanna"
Take care.
ps: also you would have a password protected account so no one could post as you, there are private message inboxes and also your ID and details etc are automatically entered for you when you post!! :D
