Yes!
Mage no do of language, do of watch other mage. No do of language; no do of questions, only do of watch. Other mage no do of language; no do of teach, only do of show. If watch of all, remember of all, mage is of safe - if mage do of careful, mage more is of safe of thief.
Other person kinds, do of language, do of question, do of teach, magic is of safe of always. Other kinds no do of trade of kobold, no do of trade of magic thing, kobold get other kinds magic thing only is of steal.

The issues with Keter are not representative of how the forum usually works.
Singing and dancing would be hard to arrange, especially without being rude to the people doing the singing and dancing. Maybe you could just get some people together to read the forums and sing what they read?

Lurkingkobold, if you do not use language, how are you communicating on this forum?
Why won’t other types of people trade with kobolds?

What do kobolds trade for things?

I wonder whether the mage really did do the spell wrong, or whether the forum just sort of happened to the mirror coincidentally? Mother Starlight, do you know?

The forum responded to the spell being cast. I don't have any special insight into what the spell "should" have done.

Back from observation; the incident with the musical has been determined to have no lasting effects. (Much to the Foundation's collective disappointment; an extra secret language could have been useful.)
The current guess at an explanation about the issues we've been having is that the forum decided to manifest as an SCP. This is approximately as precise as saying it manifested as "a strange thing," hence the unpredictability of its modes of communication. SCPs that act in unrelated ways to achieve the same goal like this are not unprecedented, believe it or not. It uses the method of access we first detected, functionally equivalent to a Web forum, whenever the relevant object is active. Staff here at Site █ have unanimously decided to leave it that way.

How would an extra secret language be useful if even the people who were affected can neither understand it nor remember what was said? If there is no way for anybody to get meaning out of the sounds that were uttered, even the people who are supposed to receive the message, or the people saying it, what is the practical difference between saying something in that and just speaking gibberish?
If nobody could understand it later but the message was still conveyed, I could see it being useful.

As I mentioned in my introduction, the site manifests to me as a Grid location... which is analogous to an ordinary Internet website, except that I'm not able to access it from the mundane Internet. This property is not uncommon in the Grid, and usually indicates that the site has other metanormal properties. Accordingly, it is a physical location within what amounts to an alternate dimension, which I need to physically visit and look through in order to access. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to move around in the Grid; hyperlinks, for instance, effectively permit teleportation, and I have already crafted a 'bookmark' from the Grid representation of my home system to this forum, allowing me to get here almost immediately after entering the Grid.

I have a curse of information. It's a series of rings made of Magic, inscribed with Magic readable code. Inactive it sticks to any metal and I have it on my bazooka mostly, most people stick it to their watches or a piercing. If it spins up I hold my arms apart and the in-between space becomes a keyboard. Then I point at the upper left and lower right corner of what then becomes the screen. It's purple on purple on default, but you can set it to color if you can put it onto a white or a black surface. The Synapse router connects to the nearest other active Synapse router or to The Tower, a central processing node. An anti Virus Program informed me that someone was hexing my router and I found this Forum on it. After I found Earth they had it on their Internet under archaic1http://manyworlds.boards.net.

The forum manifested to us as a perfectly ordinary website like we used to have on the Internet back home (similar to what others have called the Internet), but we haven't had Internet access since our home dimension started to destabilize and we left in the D.S.S. Souleye to find a way to stop it. Our terminals just suddenly reported that they had ViFi access while we were out exploring in the void.

Local manifestation, netsite, on net, between computers. Net, close match of Andrew's internet. I chose coloring, vanilla. Happy colors! I have tried accessing by public computers, do not show netsite without identification card, mine. If I had closer my-world friends, would send them address of forum on netsite, discover whether possible for others.

My manifestation of the forum is projected into the air by an enchanted gem set into a silver medallion. I can change the projection's appearance, size, and shape by force of will - the default configuration seems to be a sort of small, floating, illusory screen or panel, but I've been able to extend it around me like a bubble or shrink it to an eye-sized disk. Very blue, like others have said.
I normally interact with it by touch, though it responds to verbal and mental commands as well. (Can never do the latter without getting a headache, though - I'm no mage.) This sort of illusory projection item is commonly used to store information in Sanctum, and (somewhat less frequently) for communication. Not sure how this one's able to connect to other dimensions - I just got it on a whim off a used magic item vendor for a couple dragons.
