If there's going to be a new Grexer recruiting drive, we should fix
Backtalk and Fronttalk. The accumulated bulletin board posts are one of
Grex's unique charm points, and the *talk systems are easier-to-learn
environments for users not already accustomed to the shell.

However, with the current bugs in both *talks, I wouldn't recommend

crashes that occur when trying to open conference items when logged-in

previous connection.
