I've been pretty busy at my current job with the spring quarter coming up.  Over the past few weeks we were able to speed up the post page (reply / new topic) with Josh's help.  He found some stuff that was loading in the background that needed to be tweaked.

We still have a lot of your requests written down.

• Private messaging
• E-mail / Contact users from the site

These are the top three right now that we're looking into.  It shouldn't be to hard to whip out - just a matter of squeezing it in.
