Autism BBS

Lately the technical imperfections and design of shiichan started to get on my nerves(not including the constant shitposting) so i decided to create my own BBS. The feature set is not finalized yet, and some improvement in design might be possible(comment?).
Here is the first draft of what is coming:
* Open Source, using only free code
* Performance/bandwidth oriented
* Minimal processing, no BBCODE,only filters html tags and autolinks URLs
* C without any OOP or platform dependent code
* Very spartan text-only design, no CSS/JS or any external files
* Threads are stored as files in directory as ThreadName.Page generated as follows: 16 char random string THREADID and each 1000 posts(numbered from 0 to 999,1000-1999,etc) is a new file. e.g. /ls78saflGKsu9238.0  is first(zeroth)page of thread ls78saflGKsu9238
* replies consist of post number+text only, no name,email or timestamp, First line of first post in the thread is the thread title.
* Replying to a thread reloads the same thread page,like noko.
* no sage or bump feature, instead there is such system:
1.each new post in the thread swaps its(thread list) position with thread one cell higher(if at top, no change). If the post contains the same text as any of previous replies or only a quoted part of previous post, it does not change the order.
2.new threads start at the top of thread list.

1. Which is in some cases a beauty in itself. For example the bbcode bar I linked to earlier.. If user don't have JS enabled, it simply won't pop up at all. It won't even exist.

2. Which is great for the one user that still use a 486, but does not use dialup. Modern hardware and browsers are damn fast, and as long as you don't do stupid shit, users won't even notice the JS running.

3. It's bigger than you think. If you have 10.000 readers and 600 writers, and the writers post on average every 10 minutes, you have on average a new page every 1 second. Can't use client cache effectively for whole page, then.

4. True.

5. Partially true, it will make the actual interface harder to use, since you have to remember this and that instead of just having a button for it.
