> I'm a bit confused as to the purpose of the two message boards. Although I understand the purpose of the hints board, what's with the two main ones? We're just not allowed to use the left board? I know I'm missing something. I just don't know what.

It's unmanageable for me and unwieldy for you. The "All Messages" page is 7 megs long, which is why it took so darned long just to post a message. That time would only have gotten longer, and with huger files, the greater load on the server and the effort required to restore it if it gets munged somehow.
