Instead of using this message forum to handle bugs found in the torque engine, why not use a dedicated product such as bugzilla?

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/

It was created for use with the mozilla project (Netscape 6.x) and it is currently in use by a bunch of companies, from red hat to nasa. We used it at the last company I worked at and it was a great help in tracking known bugs.

Plus it's open source and free so you can tailor it to garagegames' needs.

To see it in action just go to bugzilla.mozilla.org (Just warning you, the query page is a little daunting at first)

We actually have plans to build a bug tracking system more integrated with the site, and with the GG projects. Each project/game would be able to have it's own bug list, private/public forums, news, etc. Tracking bugs in the forums is pretty weak :(

We're still a little ways off on that, but were currently looking at how we can more effectly split our resources so that we keep moving forward on the web-development plan.
