4chan needs better software!

If you use the wonders of distributed computing you could simply buy 10 or more shared hosting packages from various providers such as 1&1, go daddy, dreamhost, etc. and easily cover all the bandwidth costs.

They just need distributed software. Seriously all the bandwidth issues are from static images and flash files. The board software doesn't even need to be distributed just the images.

1. Write an image/text board in clean, commented Python for maintainability and extensibility, using lambdas to define everything so you can redefine what you need in the future (such as the way to handle tripfags) and templates so you can make a better style than the shit world4ch.org has now (templated too, but ugly).
2. Use a relational database built for heavy loads with row or page-level locking, not just "let's lock the fuck out of everything" table or file-based locking. I suggest MySQL using the InnoDB engine, which is also transactional (and if you think you'd benefit from read performance at the cost of table-level locking, switching to MyISAM is a snap).
