yeah, i have real wallpaper.. wallpaper. :)

is dat some YAHT exercise?

Also, I demand to know what is going on in >>3 minibuffer.

Yep, test.hs is a nomads sandbox.

I love you WAHa. Why do you come here? Humorous purposes?

Also, I'm sorry for that // Apache index thing (learn to write mod_rewrite rules). I was going to email you eventually, but I guess I caused so much ruckus in your logs that you fixed it before I could tell you about it.

I've got a nice slightly modified Wakaba & Oekaki for a Lojban imageboard running at http://jbotcan.org/

Made a lojban strings file but some strings remained English or english-like, so I had to modify wakaba_style a bit. Great software in general, though. What's left of the English on there is just terms that I'm not sure about how to phrase in Lojban.

Wakaba and Kareha are brilliant.

>>55
I wouldn't mind figuring out how to get a thread list on Wakaba. I guess that's my next update. Threads don't get deleted on jbotcan so a tread list makes some sense. Should be easy enough, use a db query and put it on the cache builder.

I'm thinking of hacking Wakaba and insert all the cancerous shit (stickies, noko, capcodes, spoiler tags/images, USER WAS BANNED, 4chon extension stuff like image expansion and thread hiding) in. I'd call it Wakaba-AIDS (Wakaba Automatic Imageboard Destruction System). Not because I condone that sort of faggotry, but because people are turning to fucking Trevorchan in order to get those “features”.

Since we can't prevent them from being faggots, they might as well run decent software.

>>57
I've set noko to default on jbotcan, the same way it is on 7chan.  Have you considered 7chan's software? I did, but it needs a database, and only supports mysql, which sucks. I don't want to run a mysql server. Patching Wakaba or Futaba is fine with me.

>>58
Futaba is PHP

Wakaba is Perl

There's always Shiichan...

>>58
7chan is fucking Trevorchan. It was renamed to kusaba to hide the fact that it's a failure. It's a piece of shit.

it's back, lol

>>61
we don't care

>>57
What's cancerous about spoiler tags?

;_;

>>57
The last think we should want is for all the insta-chans and the quality imageboard out there to get any closer by the way of running the same software. Anything that could help shifting the core of idiocy towards something well-defined that isn't 4chan would be welcome. (basically, towards 7chan and kusaba)

>>63
Well, I think that THE GAME HAHA EPIC LULZ

>>64
That's what the AIDS tagline would be for. I agree that, right now, you can spot most of the shitty 4chan clones out there just by looking at the footer and searching for the word “kusaba,” but there are sadly some other boards that aren't strictly modeled after 4chan and 7chan using it as well. (see touhouproject.com)

Out of my head, thread hiding, image expansion and noko (last one is trivial to hack in) are useful. Stickies are debatable. WAHa is traumatized by how 4chan used to misuse stickies (hop on to 7chan to see sticky misuse taken to an extreme), so he'll lobby hard against them.

Actually, stickies themselves are unimportant. What I'd like would be the ability to make a thread immortal, so it would be immune to pruning. That way, you could link to it from the banner, like WAHa does in the Wakaba and Kareha support board. Problem solved.

Capcodes are useless Something Awful faggotry (albeit trivial to hack in), wordfilters are cancer, USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST only makes people spam the board with "MODS = GODS!!!" shit. Spoiler images/tags can be useful for some boards, on others, they just get used for humorous intents. Why the hell do we have spoiler tags in /prog/?

I didn't, it was a clever ruse.

>>65
I think that if you're not going for an ultra low-tech  2chan.net clone, people should drop the whole fetishism for old Japanese software and redo the whole anonymous imageboard concept from scratch instead of copying years of legacy most users never had a part in.

By running a software that is culturally different, it could help people trying to run serious boards that need advanced non-cancer features distance themselves from the "we are legion" idiots who are currently ruining all the anonymous boards I like.

advanced non-cancer features
Such as?

>>73
What >>65 said. Thread hiding, image expansion, noko, make some threads immortal.
I'd add that "sage" and "noko" should lose their nondescript names and be checkboxes. (Shitstorm incoming.)

Many features that sound like bad ideas can be useful, but only in specific contexts. See for example how the music board at http://sovietrussia.org/m/ supports many filetypes, extracts album art from MP3s, preserves filenames, and has a player. On most boards this would be horrible cancer, but on this one they are very useful.

Thread hiding, image expansion
Those are purely display issues, and should be handled on the client-side. Either write a bunch of JavaScript and throw it in the Karenhegivesashit header, or leave it to the end-user (ala firefox extensions/greasemonkey scripts).

make some threads immortal, support many filetypes, extracts album art from MP3s, preserves filenames, and has a player
Aside from the player (I fucking hate bullshit built-in players -- if I want to listen/watch/wank I'll download the file myself and play it with native software thanks), these are somewhat more viable reasons. Again, there's nothing really ground-breaking here -- you could easily hack this shit in to existing software in 50 lines or less.

"sage" and "noko" should lose their nondescript names and be checkboxes
Again, easily done in under 50 lines.

While I'm not going to argue that there are benefits to writing your own software from scratch (makes your penis feel bigger, etc), the fact stands that hacking in such simple features isn't  a valid reason to do so.

This is fucking dumb to make users download a greasemonkey script in the situations where everyone would benefit. Just because these boards target nerds who know how to install a greasemonkey script can't excuse such a shitty user experience.

And of course you can do this modifications in that old perl script that hasn't been updated in years. But it's high time to move away from the futaba clones with additional shit badly bolted on for the user perspective, especially now that this sort of software has been coopted almost only by idiots.

>>75
Well, there's certainly nothing stopping you from using your own player, or wgetting the whole thread. It is a nifty hack, though.

>>76
This is fucking dumb to force JavaScript/AJAX bullshit in situations where a small subset of people actually want it. Just because these boards target nerds who prefer ENTERPRISE QUALITY turnkey web applications isn't an excuse to turn them into such a shitfest.

I personally haven't looked at the futaba or wakaba scripts (I've never had an erection large enough to justify hosting my own egotistical boards), but I can't imagine they're that bad. Sure, they're in Perl and Perl isn't WEB 2.0 like Ruby and PHP are, but that in itself doesn't justify a rewrite.

tl;dr - Trevorchan is in a ``modern language'' and supports the forced execution of the XmlHttpRequest.

>>77
Honestly, if it's possible to view the content (inb4 Stallman pasta) with wget (or any other browser without JavaScript/Flash capabilities; I'm running Firefox with NoScript) I don't give a shit.

My issue is that people start adding these features and don't provide any fallbacks. Soon enough, you're stuck with something like Sagebooru which is entirely flash-based, or a shit which just doesn't work without JavaScript, and it turns into a giant hulking shitfest.

I understand you're going to tell me "LOL GET WITH THE TIMES FAGGOT", and I'll respond with "I don't give a shit". I just won't go to your site. And thankfully for you, I figure I'm probably a minority. But I firmly believe that the internet is for  browsing content, not running applications.

tl;dr - I don't care what you do with your free time.

Additionally,

This is fucking dumb to make users download a greasemonkey script in the situations where everyone would benefit.

A Greasemonkey script is just a JavaScript script. You can ``force'' your users to automatically ``download'' and ``install''  it (without their consent even!) by just dumping it in the Wakaba (or whatever) header. No need to rewrite the entire backend to achieve functionality which has nothing to do with the backend.

You might as well rewrite the entire operating system (instead of just using Plan9).
