I wouldn't consider this new forum a "Breakout and fork of AutoHotkey.com", I would consider it a breakout.

It would be a fork if we changed the name of AutoHotkey or turned the whole forum in to ahk_v2.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from looking at the GESHI docs, it appears to be able to create links using keywords. There is a whole section on that in the docs. The autohotkey.php language file appears to include some links already which point to the old site.
As of version 1.0.2, GeSHi allows you to specify a URL for keyword groups. This URL is used by GeSHi to convert the keywords in that group into URLs to appropriate documentation. And using add_keyword_group you can add functions and classes from your own projects and use the URL functionality to provide a link to your own API documentation....You may be wondering how to make each keyword in the group point to the correct URL. You do this by putting {FNAME} in the URL at the correct place. For example, PHP makes it easy by linking http://www.php.net/function-name to the documentation for that function, so the URL used is http://www.php.net/{FNAME}.

YES IT WAS. outright maliscious

there was some custom JavaScript i think that was responsible. GESHI is supposed to support AHK but i was considering something even more fascinating

Jethrow had some interesting syntax coloring bbcode thingy dohicky before Poly kicked our asses. If Jethrow can find it i can make that into javascript and have it auto format with that as well

About readability, "deutsh" forum should be showed like a subforum in a "other language" section and not expanded in the default forum page.
I have nothing against ohter language but that create a soup, and other language can be easly added without kill eyes, all in same website and more attractive...

Autohotkey
- ask for help
--- gaming
- scripts and functions
--- gaming
- ...
- ...
General
- Offtopic
- ...
- ...
Other language
- Deutsh
--- Ich brauche Hilfe
--- ...
--- ...
- ...

I don't like english hegemony and I am french, I don't think I am rude with the german forum

I downloaded it succesfully and i'm currently parsing it into readable static content.
I think i'll finish the archive and the php search script today.

Don't forget to enable the "quick reply" option for the new forums.
All other forums have it enabled and it's more comfortable.

I'll add the game sections now.

If/when the "Utilities" and "Programming" subforums are created here, I think they should be renamed so as to avoid confusion that seems to have become prevalent at the current forums. Something like this:
Other Utilities
Discuss other great software and utilities that can improve digital life.

Other Programming Languages
Discuss other programming languages besides AHK.

IIRC, phpbb3 has support for sub forums. I could be wrong.
There should be a couple Games subforums like the other site.
