Topic and reply functionality implimented

#site-updates
#1
The topic and reply functionality is now implemented. (with a couple bug fixes required)
Now the system is in a fit state for basic communication, so it is an appropriate time to look at adding a user registration system.
I'm thinking the core of it should initially rely on oauth as basic validation. This should help to prevent bots alongside other security techniques, and should make user registration a comfortable process.

Getting it setup to work as forum structure is a little tricky but I made good progress. Now the updates page acts like a forum or subforum, with topics listed. I made the topic view float over the page. I like the idea of these elements being able to be fetched from any part of the site. Each is a self contained object that is  called using specific parameters. This should aid in modularity for sure. That means I could put these topics on images, on franchise pages, user pages, anywhere, and they would work exactly the same. I could also have dynamic loading using keywords or some other method. I know I said I'd focus on user registrations next, but I wasn't happy with topic display. To be frank, I'm still not completely happy. I think I want latest post preview on the topic card by default and I want it to scroll on mouse-over.
