This was done as a student project and I would leave to get some feedback. There is also an android app here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mathisonian.androi...

1) Your /uploads/ directory lists all files uploaded to it. To fix this, add

    Options -Indexes -FollowSymLinks

to your .htaccess for the uploads directory.

2) You appear to be running nginx as a reverse proxy to apache, but you've left apache open to the world on port 81. Either have it only listen on localhost, or have an iptables rule denying the world connections.

Edit: formatting.

Something nice would be to have the threads appear at the point on the page you're scrolled to, instead of at the top. Having to scroll to the top is tiresome and makes you lose your place.
