Hi, I am looking for a barebones and efficient text board script. Preferably with at least some basic functions such as tripcodes.
Also I have some questions about text boards. How much space do they usually take up? How much does this board use to store all the accumulated posts from years ago?
Do you have big banners and warnings saying "DON'T USE THIS!"? Because if you don't, you're implying people should use it by publishing it.
Oh cool. I'll probably go in and re-add the lazy spam trap, then spend time wondering if I really want to learn enough perl to properly add in a name field with tripcode support. While it's tempting to add a bajillion features to this, I don't want to take this so far it becomes a shiichan clone, and I really don't know enough perl to do so.
I must admit, it is a rather interesting script as-is due to the lack of names. Sort of a "proper" anonymous board.
>a shiichan clone
or a kareha in text mode clone.
Actually, come to think of it, those are the only text board scripts I know of aside from tinybb.pl and coda's tiny.pl. And tiny.pl doesn't really count. It's more of a text thread script, and I don't think coda ever released it.
Offhand I can think of Kareha, Shii(t)chan, Kusaba in textmode (crap), Medichan's board, tinybb, and whatever Cudder's board is. Plus there's all the esoteric one-off scripts that have been posted to /prog/ or /code/ and never really used anywhere (such as that Haskell textboard) if you want to count them.
$50 to the guy who finds out where this lazy dipshit ripped his code from.

You must be the type of person who always blames others for your own faults.
I feel pretty dumb for not having read through the beginning thread. Anyways, my tinybb.txt alterations are still at http://tablecat.exofire.net Please excuse the downtime, it's the best free webhost I could find that had Perl support.
Anyways, I have some concerns regarding tripcode support, I been searching around with Google and kind of got the idea that information submitted through a form (like tripcodes) can be intercepted if not encrypted. I haven't really found anything definitive on this subject, I guess I'm not using the right search keywords. I'd like it if someone could point me in the right direction, I don't really have any programming background so most of what I learn is by looking at example code and experimenting with it and making "oh so that's what this does" realizations as I go along. I feel bad for putting a name field and tripcode support without ensuring it's safeness...
I really do like your script, please keep working on it. I had some trouble making it work, but then I turned off the super-paranoid security settings on the server I had it on, and it worked fine, pretty much.
Tripcodes are not safe anyway, and nobody cares enough about them to go to the considerable effort needed to intercept someone's connection to get them.

I see, then I take it they are as safe as they need to be the way I have it then?
Also, updated again.
>>47 here
Well I've made a significant update to this. It does everything I want it to do now, so I don't think I'll be doing anything more to it.
I have updated the script and website.
How come you took down yer BBS software?
Do you still have it if so, mind uploading it?
>>53
i have a copy of it here: http://hotaru.thinkindifferent.net/tablecat/
I feel terrible! I re-uploaded the latest files I had on http://bbs.tablecat.co.cc/ along with previous versions
>>59
I just checked right now and that does not appear to be the case. I have not removed them or anything.
It is possible you may have been trying to access the website during one of its many downtimes. I apologize for this, I am using a free web host.

So is co.cc some sort of host that only permits crap?

so yeah, pretty much.
I just finished the frontend portion of my script re-write. I've been working on it for several months, taking my sweet time. Now I've got something to show for it.
Anybody have a copy of tinybb.pl lying around? Google gives me a few other tinybbs which are not perl, and the wayback machine has nothing.
>>69
i do, but it's on a hard drive that's in a machine with a dead power supply, at the bottom of a large cardboard box full of stuff.
Welp. I guess I'll keep hunting and hope that by some miracle it got backed up somewhere on the internet.
>>70
and nothing of value was ... unpowered and buried?
>>69
Here is the original tinybb.txt I had saved.
http://tablecat.co.cc/tinybb.txt
There was also a CSS file that came with it, but I don't have it.
I also wrote my own take on tinybb's unique style.
>>73
if anyone wants it, the original tinybb is back up at http://hotaru.thinkindifferent.net/tinybb/tinybb.txt, and the css file is at http://hotaru.thinkindifferent.net/tinybb/style.css.
links dead :/
I think this warrants a bump.

Finiiiisssshhheeeedddd. Well 'finished' is a strong word for any software, but there's nothing else I want to do with it. Looking at the dates here, it looks like I've been working on it for well over a year now.
Yeah, its an old thread, but what I don't understand is this: OP was looking for....
> barebones and efficient text board script. Preferably with at least some basic functions such as tripcodes.
The way he communicated that he was looking for this item was by posting here...on a barebones and efficient text board script with some basic functions such as tripcodes.
So why did OP never think to use Kareha?
>>79
Though smaller than its PHP counterparts, you can go even more barebones. TinyBB is an example of that.
Mother's Day is coming. I made an order for 2 bottles of Birds Nest soup (http://hongkong-bird-nest.50webs.com/index_e.htm) as well as 4 packets of Chinese tea that's supposed to be good for regulating cholestrol. My mom's cholestrol has been pretty high lately, or so she tells me.
OP here, I went with Vbulletin. It is a best script.
Um... here's a PHP mess for you.
