Post links to English-language image boards here. To start off, here are the usual suspects:
http://www.iichan.net/ - DEAD DEAD DEAD
http://www.4chan.org/ - The original English-language board.

Worksafe random, oekaki, mspaint boards, embeded youtube random board, discussion text board.

Looks like trb is back and with yet another new domain. Questionable content as usual.
First thing I saw when I clicked on /b/:
> eji!dicksDicksdicks ## Admin ##
Fake tripcodes AND capcodes? Laaaame. Also means tripcodes can't be trust to mean anything on that board, so anyone who has a valid reason to use a tripcode should stay well away from it.
With kusaba, the admin only can set the tripcode for himself and other admins, as far as I know. Correct me if I'm wrong, but either way, it's really nothing to worry about.
Also, by your logic, anyone who has a valid reason to use a tripcode should stay well away from Kusaba. Then again, maybe other board scripts have this ability and you just don't know? Best best would be to stay away form them all in that case.
>>425
Obviously you have to trust the admins not to be dicktards and post with everyone's tripcodes. I'm just saying I wouldn't trust of the admins of that board. Or really, as you say, Kusaba' s boards in general.
I've looked at a lot of imageboard scripts, but somehow this "feature" of being able to post with a custom not-tripcode has escaped me. (Perhaps I've missed a few of its "features" in my amazement at the altogether shittiness of the script as a whole, but that's a different subject.)
My point isn't that it's not possible with other boards, it's that Kusaba's interface is actively suggesting people do this by providing a fake tripcode field. Sure, you can do the same with Kareha with capcodes, or really with any board by editing the database (or whatever storage method it uses) but it's not something that the board is specifically written to do.
I think you would need to go into the config or a related file to set the fake tripcode. It's not as if there's a page with "FAKE TRIPCODE HERE" or anything like that. Though, I do understand how one would feel uncomfortable about the whole thing if you really NEED to use a tripcode. But generally, I don't think it's something that would worry the average poster.
wow
I just tried to install that shit again, and it's even more ridiculously complicated now than it used to be.
what a piece of shit.
well, aren't admins also supposed to be allowed to inject SQL? that could easily modify any tripcode. The point is you will have to trust admins, anywhere on the Internet
>>429
I guess you tl;dr'd >>426.
> Sure, you can do the same with Kareha with capcodes, or really with any board by editing the database (or whatever storage method it uses) but it's not something that the board is specifically written to do.
My point being kusaba is the only board that actively suggests it.
>>429 Actually, with well-designed software, the admins could be lying sacks of shit and they still couldn't impersonate you.
Oh wow, yet another ...
Fuck it, I can't be bothered to even write a whole sentence deriding a new useless board anymore.
http://freechan.org
it's up and not doing so bad. The mods do a fairly decent job of keeping the "when i was", laugh you lose, post ending in xx threads away. I'd like to get some intelligent discussion boards populated though.
>>436
Isn't that run by that same shitstain who flooded every single board from the overchan with 11chan ads? And then proceeded to get DDoSed, gave up, tried again a few months later with Failchan, which also failed because he's a complete douche, then tried again with Echochan, and also failed at that?
It is a entirely worksafe imageboard that does not cover weeaboo topics.
The number 444 disturbs me so I'm making the postcount of this thread 445.
This thread should adopt a "no lulz" rule, wherein any post linking to a site containing the word "lulz" gets aborn'd on sight.
>>451
welcome 2 the internets.
i hope you can comprehend reading.
>>453
...and you decide that punctuation doesn't matter?
Basically, you've proven my point.
Updated the link to my board,
www.anonib.com/averagechan/
If you pick up anonib.
Not your average anonymous board.
>>459
True. Your average anonymous board doesn't shit out with xml parsing errors.
>>460
I fixed a problem with two of the text boards and they validated fine, the site is new and /s/ was setup for a reason.
>>461
It's still broken, or broken again. You should give up the xhtml unless you're also planning on fixing your Kareha installation.
XHTML is awesome. Either your code is either well formed or it is a failure. There is no ambiguity.
>>461 you're having issues with encoding, it looks like.
Fixed now.
> A somewhat hacked up version of the Wakaba Image Board script, omitting such cosmetic functionalities like Javascript.
Why?
>>466
Speed mostly. I find those features such as auto-post linking a bit useless on slow-moving boards. The goal is in the end, faster content at slower download speeds. (In before somebody calls me out for not having compression enabled as well, working on that, lighty's being wonky.)
That being said, cross-thread linking does work through pure html.
>>466
I have JS usually disabled, so that's a welcome change.
Of course, JS files are aggressively cached by most browsers.

>>474
Kusaba? Check.
"Random" board in bold? Check.
Scientology raid? Check.
Red-flag words such as "lulz", "srsly", or "9000"? Check.
Default ugly-ass layout? Check.
Free and/or oversold cheap web hosting that will break under any actual load? Check.
Yep, looks like another useless 4chan clone. At least you spent two seconds changing the favicon.
Can someone please register all ???chan.(org|net|com) domains? You'd be doing the world a favor.
>>477
No, register as in purchase, and point all of them to domain parking services. Preferably, one which returns a page saying "YOU ARE NOT CLEVER FOR HAVING THOUGHT OF THIS DOMAIN NAME"
Include some ads there, and you'd have yourself a winner.
I'm tired of seeing all these shitty Kusaba 4chan clones sprouting around nowadays.
>>480 "There are no threads in this board, why don't you start one?"
I just opened it today, so don't expect alot of posts.
>>480
Well......
Thanks for the feedback.
s/\[(\/?[biu])\]/<$1>/g (and I really hope you are), you're already doing most of the work. Plus, there's libraries abound for other markup schemes; PHP-Markdown, for example, is pretty easy to install and use.I'd still go for hiding the mod panel login on a different page. (admin.php, maybe?) It's a wart on an otherwise very clean layout.
Soup tj9991. Why don't you kill kusaba and work on this instead.
Also you should use thumbnails, or your bandwidth will be abused.
You don't need mod_rewrite to implement clean URLs.
>>488
That's currently the plan of action.
>>489
There was a notice in the rules area which explained the lack of true thumbnails. The framework I'm using (Google App Engine) doesn't include any kind of image library with Python.
Now I use an off-site script to process the thumbnails, which pushes them back when finished.
And, because I'd like to get this off of my back, >>487 is the first post I've made on this board in about six or seven months. I do, however, enjoy lurking here, because it is a great site of discussion. In my time here I've seen quite a few posts which appear to be identifying the poster as myself, usually including a snappy phrase involving going back to bed. I just want to say that I've laughed quite a few times at these, and I want you to keep it up.

No gb2/bed's here, I'm quite impressed! Keep it up.

New imageboard - http://aichan.blipy.net
>>498
Hooray, yet another Kusaba imageboard with the default futaba CSS and a Random, Anime, Video Games, and Television board!
>>499
And porn boards! No imageboard has had porn before!
This is an imageboard for a group of students that have graduated or are currently attending a small advanced program school in the United States! It is work-safe only and has nothing to do with anime at all! Please do not hurt the server, I do not have any more!
>>503
the "JEWS" stylesheet is pretty classy, is that yours or does it come with kusaba by default?
>>504
jews.css was homegrown, though it probably should be the default style on every kusaba install considering the code that i've seen in it so far
An imageboard that I started for "extreme" sports. Still doing a lot of hacking on it. I am hoping to attract some users, but have not started actively advertising it yet.
Any comments, criticisms, or suggestions appreciated.
>>506
I look at the front page, notice the lack of frames and a layout similar to 4chan, expected something good, noticed it was powered by kusaba and was full of ads, I got deceived.
Yeah, I see everyone bashes kusaba around here, but I have not seen any good reason why? I'm all ears. I prefer working with PHP rather than perl so that is why I chose kusaba. Is there something bad about it that I don't know?
Also, are ads on an imageboard a bad thing or what? I don't think 1 google ad in the upper part of the page could be considered "full of ads" either.
>>508
There's nothing wrong with Kusaba the way you're handling it. You've obviously modified it somewhat--one of the things that irritates me is the default installations loaded with boards that are exactly like the major *chans.
The code is pretty bad too, but I'm sure you've noticed that. Don't worry, >>507 is probably just butthurt because he is the opposite of athletic.
>>509
Yes, I have looked at some of the code, especially in the board-post.class.php and it is a bit sloppy. However, it is pretty well documented so I can see what it is doing and make some changes. The biggest problem I see with it is the lack of separation of code and interface. I haven't dug in too deep on a lot of it yet though, so I may find other surprises.
Another thing I thought was strange was that there are a lot of hard coded ads, links, etc built into the code for kusaba.org that are turned on with the setting of a variable.
On a side note, my target audience may also not have a lot of experience with this type of website so it will be interesting to see how it goes.
>>510
Good luck. I swapped a phpbb-style forum out for an imageboard once. Most of the regular posters left, and the ones that stayed kept complaining that it was too hard to post.
>>511
Yes, it certainly will be challenging changing the mindset of the users. It seems that the average internet user, in the USA, has grown accustom to the vbulletin style of message boards. How do you go about getting them to use an interface that they are not familiar with? I mean its not like image boards are particularly hard to use, they just are "different".
Any advice out there?
>>512
Just explain it really, really well. Don't link straight to the board, link to a click-through tutorial of sorts, explaining how it all works so they can get a bit of understanding of the board style.
For example, point out that it's just simpler to type your name rather than logging in all the time, about how posting is easier and faster because the form's right there on the page already, show them how to delete posts (nobody can figure this one out on their own; even regulars seem to miss this, and the ability to control your post is apparently important to phpbb/vbulletin regulars)... basically compare and contrast the two styles and show why this style of board is better.
Be careful not to make it come off as some sort of crazy rant, though. Yammering about anonymity and the like to people who are very much entrenched in the idea of having a fixed identity will definitely scare a lot of would-be posters off. Maybe point out tripcodes, but don't get too technical about them, and keep them in a separate section/page.
Also, try to get people to understand that what they're looking at isn't some kind of blog or guestbook. A lot of people are hesitant to post because they're not sure what the board is.
Basically, you pretty much want to get the point across that yes, it does look different, but it's fundamentally similar to any phpbb/vbulletin board, just stripped of a lot of the fluff.
Oh, and a non-Futaba-style layout might help. A lot of people don't post because it's "too ugly". I don't get this reasoning, and personally I think phpbb looks like pure ass... shrug
