24 hour bbs hack from scratch

Name: Anonymous 2011-03-05 14:25

Okay guys, before I start this thing I wanted to see if anyone else was interested in collaborating with me writing a text based discussion board (similar to dis.4chan).

The rules are it must be in php, sqlite3, and be completed in 24 hours. I'll host it on machine for now at 24hourbbs.mooo.com; I don't know git but I currently have apache setup to use dropbox/Public/24hourbbs as it's document root.

If you're intereseted, let's start with a TODO list: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16018363/24hourbbs/TODO.txt

I doubt anyone will be up for this; I think it's more likely that you could finish a challenge like that on your own than collaborating with someone, since the latter will cost you much more time due to having to organize stuff.
Also, making a PHP BBS is no fun, since there are already tons of them. If you wanted to catch /prog/'s interest, you would rather write the BBS in Haskell or Erlang or Factor or Brainfuck or whatever.

Screw any and all sql? I mean I'm more familiar with mysql but would rather store shit in text files? No sql at all? Text files? What does /prog/ want for persistence?

When I first wanted to make my BBS software, I asked around and nobody wanted to help me. Fact of the matter is, OP, that people aren't interested in that sort of stuff and you're going to have to write your own script by yourself.

It might seem like an insurmountable obstacle, but you will be surprised at what you can accomplish with diligent use of Google.

When I started, I didn't know anything about programming, and now I have my own full-fledged BBS script. If you know PHP, then you already have a leg up.

Don't change these.
