didn't realize that someone was making a whole load of anti-cuck shirts.

Christ, is this what the average Trump supporter looks like?

What for? Hundreds of imageboards exist and made by people with years of experience, yours will be dog shit.
Average Sup Forumsfag.

no free dental care if you're not a nigger.

Is that some Sup Forums cosplay?

only if this is what the average bernie and hillary supporter looks like

Because I want to go BACK. Before 2009 things were so much better. I'd even take 2011, to be honest. These past 5 years have been dog shit. I'm convinced everyone moved on and have their own unindexed communities somewhere.

I built one in PHP about a decade ago. It was garbage, but it worked.
Then I built one in Python a year or so back. It was also garbage, but it also worked.

If all you want is boards, threads, and posts it's easy. If you want image uploading, security, moderation, and an auto-update feature like here then it gets significantly more complicated. I tried holding the binary data for images in *SQL and it was horrible. I separated the API from the front end completely and it was the best decision ever but as time went on I found myself mixing the two more and more and making spaghetti just getting some basic features down. I tried doing the entire frontend in Javascript so I could render the pages by simply pulling the API and building the page client side and learned I don't know Javascript.

I finally stopped working on it when I realized I don't know Javascript at all and how dependent on it these boards can be. I tried. I looked up examples, read documentation, tried a few color by numbers tutorials but in the end just making the reply box move and stretch yet alone saving the location and size of it in a cookie took nearly a week and I hadn't even started on an auto update.

It's not easy. It looks easy. It starts easy. You get a good pace going and suddenly oh-fuck-me.

Back in the day web sites had custom feedback clients like disqus. They were dirt simple, anonymous, and a good way to get started in databases and your server side language of choice. Start by building one of those.

I plan on using STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs tinyboard software, actually the spork called "vichan" that wiz and 8 use

No intention of trying to hack the matrix and whatnot.

At least this guy has a full set of teeth.

they're still here; they're just drowned out by the influx of normalfags to this website and the internet in general.

your secret club imageboard won't be safe from this even if it does magically take off and eclipse Sup Forums.

Then why ask Sup Forums? Running an existing board doesn't require any knowledge besides clicking and some basic glossary. You could have started a LAMP server and downloaded / run this whole thing locally to get a feel for the controls in the time it took me to type that post.

Which is a real shame because the hassle of actually building an imageboard is more interesting than the whims of some fag who just wants to host one.

>your secret club imageboard won't be safe from this
I have methods planned already.
>even if it does magically take off and eclipse Sup Forums.
I have no intention to appealing to the masses. just the people who would hung around these places way before the internet blew up in the early 2010s

No, it requires more knowledge. It's one thing to code a shitty 90's webpage in HTML, an entirely different thing especially when it comes to networking and servers and shit. Stuff I know nothing about. Why ask Sup Forums, why ask anybody? Why not ask /r9k/? Why why why?

ssh [email protected]

>I have methods planned already.
ban mobile posting?
rangebans?
supercookies?
2:1 moderator to user ratio?

all of these things are either stupid, impractical, or impossible.

>Old school BBS board
>actually has posts in it
Nice.

The best part is the tech illiterate filter

Fuck you. Trump supporters and Sup Forums are extremely smart and very athletic. Better a fat, virgin, ugly, smelly, anime watching degenerate loser like you.

user.
Stop.
You're taking the bait.

Teeth can be fixed. Being a fag can't.

No

No
>supercookies?
what?
>2:1 moderator to user ratio?
No.

The community won't be any bigger than 420chan at it's peak. Maybe even smaller. This eliminates the majority of problems you're fussing about. It's not going to be some paid shithole like SA or a invite-only shithole like What.CD

Alternative imageboards aren't big in the first place, and my methods extend far beyond heavy-handed bans and draconian rules like Wiz or Tohno.

I am fully competent in dealing with any and everything I might encounter, I've spent years fantasizing about running my own imageboard and the only thing I'm not confident is, is in my ability to actually learn the necessary skills to make it reality.

If I spoonfeed a little, will you stop bitching?

Thanks, this will help a lot.

>tech illiterate filter
I literally just googled "SSH", then found out it was a thingo, googled "what the best SSH client windows reddit", read a thread, downloaded said thingo, installed it, clicked a few buttons randomly, found the part where it said "Basic SSH settings" clicked it, saw a box that I assumed is where the gobbledegook goes, clicked enter and then it asked for a password, the keyboard wouldn't work for some reason so I started smashing keys, saw thing that said "backspace^H", started smashing backspace, then started smashing enter and typed the password really fast even though no letters were showing up and then it worked.

You must be one of those guys who thinks he's too good to use a smartphone or play anything that isn't Dark Souls. Give yourself WAY too much credit this shit isn't that hard.

Olde Schoole BBS? Now I can be one of those TOTSE guys I always read about on Textfiles. I already shaved my head and gave myself a tiny soul patch. I'm now 1337hax. Dial 1-800-666-suck dicks and tell Ma Bell to go to hell cause we're about to get phreaky

i text sti every once in a while, he's still in college and doing coke, wasted all his early bitcoin sheckles and that's why he sold the domain.

Nothing wrong with being gay user. What are you, a bigot?

>Nothing wrong with being gay user.

I agree there is nothing wrong with being gay: if you keep your sexuality to yourself.

>What are you, a bigot?

I am intolerant of the unreasonable, of jihadis and warmongering in general. Does this make me a bigot?

Yes grandpa it's not 1985 anymore.

Did anyone else order this shirt or just me?

Found the Reditor.

In case you didn't know, Reddit has become a alt-right cuckjerk now.

huh, really makes you think...

Wtf i hate cucks now

what-ch.mooo.com/what

i feel your pain. everything feels like reposts these days.

I see why moot left

That's called getting old, young whippersnappers.

It's why old people generally get more grumpy and yearn for the good ol' days.

I am not even 25 yet fuccboi

25 is ancient grandpa. Go back to your retirement home, you're lost.

Turning this place into a paid shithole would actually solve 99% of the problems we face here. No one is going to repeatedly pay $20 to keep shitposting every time they get banned. Having a single token that allows you to post means no resetting the router to avoid bans.

Problem posters either shape up or leave. It would be great, but Chinese moot will never do it.

Did they teach you reading comprehension in high school?

>Before 2009 things were so much better

It was never really better

>Did they teach you reading comprehension in high school?

I learned that plus something called nuance in kindergarten because I'm from an advanced country, not the US.

...

>>ban mobile posting?
>No
then you already fucked up. banning phone niggers is the best thing you can do. brain dead normies are the only ones that actively use their phones and tablets for web browsing since they can do it while sitting on a couch and watching their favorite reality tv shows. that and the fact that the average person is still too lazy/retarded to use a computer properly. i work with two other phd students in my lab that don't even use ad blockers on their computers, just to give an example.

>the keyboard wouldn't work for some reason so I started smashing keys, saw thing that said "backspace^H", started smashing backspace, then started smashing enter and typed the password really fast even though no letters were showing up and then it worked.
lmao

fucking retards, man.

>i work with two other phd students in my lab that don't even use ad blockers on their computers
did you tell the to install one? if so what did they say?

I've been here for 10 years and post on my cellphone as often as I post on my Linux desktop.

We should ban iPhone posters though.

kind of tempted but 26 bucks is a bit steep.

nope

I'm sitting on the can as I post this.

>from my cherry picked 'Trump girls' folder containing

False flag plant. The other day was the first time that I saw somebody with a MAGA hat IRL and he looked almost exactly like that though, just no cuck shirt. I could just imagine him thinking "I bet she loves BBC" to himself as the girl opened the propane locker for him at the pharmacy

>cherry picked

Like the guy in OPs post?

Uhhh, no faggot I first browsed ED almost 10 years ago, I've never been intimate with another human being and I take my $30 smartphone with me wherever I go, I'll browse chans in the bathroom, in the breakroom, where ever.

Keep your alt-right Sup Forums reactionary pseudo-conservative bullshit on reddit.


I doubt you could tell the difference between 10W-30 and 10W-40 but I'm not gonna call you a retard for trying to figure it out.

Yes, exactly. I hate cherry picking on any side.

it was. you didn't have reddit transplants getting asspained by lack of political correctness and bitching about it through the whole thread.

we had /n/, and then we had /new/, but you didn't have faggots always linking to the boards when they read something that they didn't agree with.

no, because they both go on shitty stream websites and look at porn/escorts which means the computers have a steady stream of malware. it's entertaining to watch especially when we have someone in the lab that didn't bring a computer and needs to use one of ours.

>. . . the hassle of actually building an imageboard is more interesting than the whims of some fag who just wants to host one.

Thanks for giving him a solid answer. I found it interesting.

>long censor, must be male
sauce for the love of god

With free shipping it really isnt for a custom us made meme shirt

Dude, a 12 yo could figure this shit out. Literally.

>this thread

>this butthurt cuck

i remember when retard became the new stupid, when autist became the new retard, and im now watching the transition to cuck. get over it, it isnt disappearing no matter how ass blasted you are

a tech illiterate would not have thought of googling it.

more like
>2000-2004: stupid > retard
>2004-2010: retard > faggot
>2010-2014: faggot > autist
>2014-2016: autist > cuck

faggot was more of a nineties thing that resurged

So men who dress as girlz?
