Introducing Thorn (or: Jesus, Not Another Image Board Script) (137)

Hay guise. I just want to say that I'm really sorry about Thorn.

It was my first PHP project of any decent size, and it certainly smelled like it. When I remember the code and compare it with what I am capable of writing today, I am ashamed. It breaks my heart that people are asking where to find the script (sometimes tracking me down and asking me directly), and that Drydock (http://code.google.com/p/drydock/) still uses so much of the original script as its base. If I could, I'd erase it from the internet entirely, or at least any association of my name with it.

I mean, my God, look at >>68 - I was starting to roll my own CMS before I even knew what a CMS was! What the hell was wrong with me?

Please, don't use it. And don't use Drydock, at least until it undergoes a complete rewrite that purges all Thorn guts from its core. Move along; nothing to see there.

(Though I won't apologize for the idea of being able to add multiple images per post; that was brilliant, and I'm glad to see others copied the idea. Though I'm sure they would have stumbled on it eventually.)
