In the first sentence there's something missing:

Quote
Research on TRULTRUL, or Trollish, has led many researchers to dead ends in the past.

Also, the Overview usually contains the rough details of the entry to give the reader a good idea what we're talking about. While you mention the "primitive and animalistic quality" of the language, reading the Overview alone doesn't tell you much about the language, only that someone wrote a book on it, you know? So I'd suggest to add a few basic things still there, but other than that the entry looks pretty solid!  cool

Better yup, though there could still be, say two or three more sentences in the Overview going into a few more details. Like mentioning growls, spits, slobber and hisses, a bit about syntax or non-verbal stuff. Because only the first sentence at the moment really tells you something about the actual language, so just a tad more is always helpful. :D

I added a bit to the Overview section, don't know whether to be long or brief about it, being an overview. How's this? huh

Files have been replaced again, but the question remains how long this will last. SMF support will have a look at the security problem.

It has been hacked. The third time in 3 days. I need to replace the changed files again (won't happen before evening) - and then see what the SMF support recommends as a strategy.
