Please critisise this idea so that I dont try to implement it.
Also if anyone would like to help code this you'd be much obliged.
First you decide which boards you want displayed, as an example /a/ /v/ and /prog/.
These three boards would be oriented on the insade of a cylinder, at evenly spaced angular distance.
Threads would taper down underneath boards.
Obviously threads would be favorited like the firefox extension, gaining priority(towards the top of the cylinder)

Only mods will be allowed to do crapfloods.
sequential posts and directory dumps would be allowed.
But those features would have to come later of course.

A feature I've been wanting for a Firefox extension is the ability to store epic copypastas. When I see an epic copypasta, I select it, right click, and choose "Store epic copypasta". Then when I need to repost it, I type the first few words, I get a suggestion to paste my previously-stored epic copypasta, where I can click to restore.

What's the difference?
you should make it scriptable. with quantum brainfuck or something.

oh by crapfloods i thought you meant where ppl post the same image in every thread of a board.
directory dumps just dumps each image in a dir with a message.
sequntial posts you can script your posts in advance. (so good for lazy combos)

someone should program /b/ Tv. every 2 seconds it shows a random post from the front page. DO IT

Just a thought, maybe a 4chan API like alot of the other sites have?
that way alot of the traffic could be cut down.
And if anyone else wanted to make other 4chan tools it would make things abit easier.

that'd be boring... what's better is, if it displayed the newest posted image as soon as it was posted, using something like vidwhacker for layering effects

>>14 that way alot of the traffic could be cut down.
It would result in much more traffic.
Also, it wouldn't happen. Why do you think that 4chan doesn't allow search engine crawlers?

Because the content changes so frequently that anything found by a search engine would likely already be gone from the site?

I made this a few days ago. Do you think it will suffice in a harsh ENTERPRISE environment?

Assuming you aren't intending to make a legacy desktop application- or using the deprecated Adobe Flash technology, read on.
The 3D aspect is mostly possible with todays technology (I say mostly because IE does not and won't support canvas, and you sure as hell aren't having "threads" drawn and projected onto a cylinder in real time with excanvas). As far as the pubsub aspect of it goes (real time updating of thread information)- this isn't possible (You can't use long polling or similar technologies because every poll will essentially return immediately on something as highly trafficked as 4chan.) Although it would be possible with persistent connections- no browsers (or web servers for that matter) support web sockets; and even if they did there is no way anyone except a huge profitable corporation could sustain having every client opening a new connection every second for essentially nothing.

Xarn is a bit full of himself. Also, he's a socialist and thinks that socialism is infallible. Despite that, he's an intelligent individual, and I respect his views, even though I don't agree with them.
3D is a good idea, but just slapping the boards on a cylinder is dumb. It's gratuitous because it doesn't convey any more information than just having the boards next to each other on a flat 2D screen.
Instead, have each direction provide some meaning.
For example, have the name of the board /a/, /b/, ... be the Z direction, so you effectively have a bunch of layers to move through. Have the Y direction be the popularity of the thread, so the most popular threads rise to the top. Have each thread's replies expand out to the right (the X direction).
That would be a decent use of 3D.
If you can do the code to generate the real-time information, I can do the 3D in an hour.
