Now I have always wanted to start my small imageboard, however I have no idea how to. What do I need to download to get the software and how do I necessary install it?

No. 7chan is shit. They can't even keep their site up for longer than a year without either 1) begging for donations 2) Kusaba having a major cock-up and having the whole site start over from scratch because it's so shit, or 3) LOL MOD/IRC DRAMA
I used to think shitty PHP scripts were the best thing in the world, too, when I was 14.

>kusabaX has the best software
Lolno. Every had to use KasubaX?
Thought so.
Just about every imageboard software sucks, write your own.

Why would you even want that?
If you hate Perl but prefer PHP because you're some sort of schizophrenic mad man living in Bizarro world, check this: http://9ch.in/overscript/

I guess the released Firefox extension would make things better
If you want a PHP alternitive to shiichan, use REchans script and then just edit the CSS a little (mainly the backround img). Best of luck with your IB and BBS!
fucking casuals don't know shit about using SAGUARO MASTER RACE

2013 still using futaba/wakaba
kusaba x is working and goes if you want an image board. But you should at least know a last bit of PHP OR WANT TO LEARN CODING because you will probably need to tweak some shit. you will want to create a good menu (and not the fucking frameset) and you will want to change the style in order not to use the boring default style, so you will want to work with CSS(3!) and HTML and also the template engine.
If you are not speaking PHP or any used scripting language fluent, you will not want to write your own (if you do, you probably wouldn't ask here).
I am using kusaba x for a year now and I am constantly working at it, tweaking the code. The chan has been started as an experiment for me wanting to try out some stuff and also covering a niche that was uncovered in all the *chans.
Also you will want to think about what boards to create (depending on your niche). I started with creating 20 boards and remove/merge them still since then, because people take a look my chan and turn never coming back again because they don't understand my fucked up way of categorizing topics. So start with less boards and then add a new one once enough people beg for having it.

This thread is 6 years old. pretty sure the people talking about kusaba are dead. Assuming you haven't died yet, what's your chan's name?
>>76 kusaba x
But it's fucking horrible and Trevor should have never coded it to begin with. Also, the idea of creating an entire imageboard site complete with boards that have been done to death is ridiculous; the network effect of the larger sites will ensure that yours won't ever get traffic beyond a light threshold at best, and will probably end up deserted and then finally killed when the host cuts off service due to a flurry of CP posts.

There was a guy by the name of spoot that worked on a modification of Futallaby, but the site (http://saguaroimgboard.co.cc/) seems to be down. I don't understand why people go through the trouble to set up a website only to abandon it later. You could maybe try the e-mail address (spoot@saguaroimgboard.co.cc), that's about as close to a sane "modern" version of Futallaby as you can get without the trouble of doing it yourself.
