hi, i have an img board and i have kusaba on it, but now i want to change it... what's the best and more powerful? with anti-spam and all the good things???
thanks
>>104
But, you should use it. Kusaba is crap and the original author (Trevor) realized this fact and discontinued developing it.
Why? Because you're not intelligent enough to even spell its name correctly, let alone install the software?
slunds
Bumping the thread for great justice
>>105
I'm using PyIB, I implemented a lot of stuff including textboards.

PyIB is out and running on 888chan's brother VortexChan.
>>118
PyIB has been out a long time and VortexChan has too few dildos is a pile of shit. It doesn't look like it even supports UTF-8 properly.
Holy shit, people are still using my imageboard software? I stopped working on those projects ages ago
>>120
Because there is nothing else being actively developed and released publicly other than Wakaba, and last time I checked its missing a capable sitewide post and user management system.
what the fuck does moot use ?
> missing a capable sitewide post and user management system.
you say that like it's a bad thing. there's something to be said for not having a million empty boards on your site.
Let's list them, scripts (actively developed/released publicly):
Wakaba http://wakaba.c3.cx/ (Perl)
Kusaba X http://kusabax.cultnet.net/ (PHP)
Orphereus http://orphereus.anoma.ch/ (Python)
PyIB https://github.com/tslocum/PyIB-Standalone (Python)
Kotoba http://code.google.com/p/kotoba-ib/ (PHP)
TinyIB https://github.com/tslocum/TinyIB (PHP)
Ochan http://code.google.com/p/ochan/ (Java)
Wakarimasen http://git.kiace.com.ar/wakarimasen.git/ (Python)
In addition to >>126 list:
Pixmicat! http://pixmicat.googlecode.com/ http://pixmicat.openfoundry.org/ (PHP)
Derived from Futaba, has template engine and modular architecture, internationalization (English(US), Chinese(Taiwan) and Japanese), wrappers that enable switching data source, file storage method and thumbnail maker
Actually savetheinternet of Tinychan is working on software called Tinyboard.
http://github.com/savetheinternet/Tinyboard
Another addition to >>126 list:
Kakaha http://code.google.com/p/kakaha/ (PHP)
Uses SQLite; download: http://code.google.com/p/kakaha/downloads/list?can=1&q= installation: http://code.google.com/p/kakaha/wiki/Installation
I decided to go with Wakaba for my site, and so far its working beautifully. All it needed was a little modification, and it became the most stable image board I've ever run.
>>126
Please excuse my interruption, but would you be able to think of a similar list but for textboard software?
>>135
Shiichan, REchan, and Kareha are the only ones I know.
http://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/, which can be fixed to a usable basis by opening admin.php, CTRL+Fing "$this" and replacing it with "$shit",
http://rechan.eu.org/, the Futallaby of textboards.
And then Kareha.
>>139
I'm not, lol.
And my posts aren't full of rage, they're just in all caps.
>>142
It's not now. If ever it's "down", it's only temporary.
Another addition to >>126 list:
Ha Chan http://code.google.com/p/hachan/ (PHP)
also flatfile
So. Its August 2011. And there are new featureful PHP image board scripts that aren't based off Trevorchan. Does Wakaba still hold the title of best image board script ever?
>>147
Care to tell me why? I need to know I'm making the right choice.
>>146
I don't think Wakaba is the best, I feel there are features missing from it that I'd really like, that, and it's written in Perl, which my host doesn't support.
If Kusaba X tried to be less like Trevorchan then I would make it my first choice.
Wakaba is the best because it does what it says on the box, has a decent subset of features, a sane default config and is dead simple to set up. Scripts like Tinyboard are nice, but are way too complicated to set up IMO, and encourage Kusaba-like incidents where 13-year-old boys download the script, install it on free hosting, create 40 or 50 boards and proclaim their site "the new 4chan".
On the other hand, Wakaba is terribly messy code-wise, and it really does make me wish there were better alternatives.
>and it's written in Perl, which my host doesn't support.
Your host sucks.
>>151
Maybe my host does suck, but the lack of Perl isn't a big loss for me anyway, since I prefer PHP.
I do have a Kusaba X powered website, with boards that are already on 4chan (only 5/6 boards, not counting the three crappily translated boards, including a secret mod board), although I just put up mine because I had nothing better to do, also, calling a site "The new 4chan", that's a good reason to avoid it.
>terribly messy code-wise
I invested in Wakaba because I was told the exact opposite. I was under the impression that Trevorchan-based boards were messier, and in effect were much slower and unstable. Am I misunderstand you?
>>153
Most of it (the stuff you typically hack away on) is really clean and easy to read and understand, but wakautils.pl is black magic in its purest form. Here's an example:
if($name eq 'var') { $code.='$res.=eval{'.$args.'};' }
elsif($name eq 'const') { my $const=eval $args; $const=~s/(['\\])/\\$1/g; $code.='$res.=\''.$const.'\';' }
elsif($name eq 'if') { $code.='if(eval{'.$args.'}){' }
elsif($name eq 'loop')
{ $code.='my $__a=eval{'.$args.'};if($__a){for(@$__a){my %__v=%{$_};my %__ov;for(keys %__v){$__ov{$_}=$$_;$$_=$__v{$_};}' }Looks pretty, right?
Trevorchan/Kusaba isn't particularly messy, but suffers from many other issues.
I've found Wakaba to be somewhat slow, has a bug or two, and a real bitch to setup/config. I prefer TinyIB.
>>155
There are no known bugs in Wakaba which affect the management panel or the user experience, and it's definitely not "slow" or "a real bitch to setup/config".
That said, TinyIB is probably better suited for idiots who have no clue what they're doing.
>>157
Is there any real world data to show if its faster than any of the other scripts?
>>158
Is there any real word data to show if it's slower?
>>159
Also, Obama's not a bad president, Jews did 9/11, Justin Bieber is actually Kim Jong Il pretending to be a girl, and Bin Laden is still alive and hiding in Iran. Your anti-Kusaba conspiracy theories aren't going to convince anyone around here.
Oh, and before anyone gets butthurt enough to bracket me into some bullshit faction, I think kusaba sux shit too.
>You act like it's that black and white.
That's because it is, here
>>165
No, it's not, it's fucking opinion.
>>167
If you think whether a script is good or not is a fact, then you need to GTFO.
>>164
Oh, thanks for telling me that. Also about the Kareha thing, hahaha, yes I guess so. But it's either that shiichan, or the KusabaX textboards. Even shii says not to use Shiichan and use Kareha instead, and Kusaba X is workable but has insecurities, so I would say Kareha is the way to go.
http://www.rateitstar.com/software.php
gives a summary of a flatfile based image board software. and images..
I think this one outbeats all the rest by various things.. well designed and well developed one guy. i believe.
>>173
Would you care to explain to my grandmother how your imageboard software works? (Yes, your software, no one else than the creator would recommend such a horrible, buggy piece of autist-ridden crap.) Because I can't figure it out myself, and I consider myself pretty good with computers.
My grandmother aside, here's a small amount of things which are wrong with your software.
So how does your software "outbeat all the rest"?
Also, the funniest thing is that you don't even have a download link available. If you aren't going to offer downloads, why bother advertising it?
>>174
Oh god. If those are true that's terrible.
> Doesn't resize thumbnails, simply uses width/height attributes.
This especially made me laugh. Didn't moot do this in the early days of 4chan and it ate up all their bandwidth?
Very well if you think that, that was the opening first release, and their isn't any downloads i dunno why, but I have sampled the software.
It is not hard to use, it is easy to use
English grammar and spelling unless your italian?
a great admin panel,
it uses ISO-8859-1 because its kool
and why should it waste time resizing images.
and it strips complete html not what it perceives as complete tags
And stop taking the *** You dont have the software so there :D
Go on the page and read it again
I think this guy is on to a winner unlike you idiot.
and it doesn't eat bandwidth, because it has a really unique caching mechanism..
>>176
He makes good points (albeit not in the friendliest way), you should take them on board. There's no real reason to use ISO-8859-1 in place of UTF-8, and making proper thumbnails of images saves a lot of bandwidth.
> English grammar and spelling unless your italian?
This made me laugh.
Good luck with your script.
>it uses ISO-8859-1 because its kool
and why should it waste time resizing images.
Heh, you're funny.
lol these message keep been deleted, advertising is for people to know..
it doesnt need to resize images if their is a limit to the actuall file upload duh
yea the software can use any coding, but okay i suggested it to the guy and hes adjusted those things, he is grateful he says, cheers guys.
Yes italian, as in cant you understand english?
well it seems completely understandable from an Englanders point a view, unless your American? :D
>>179 okay so how does resizing images using like php-gd versus just limiting the size of the file itself..
Php-GD:
Limiting the File upload:
You:
you should read the specifications again.
> unless your American
"Your" is possessive. For example, I can say: "Your image board script sucks," or, "Shut your face."
You want "you're," which is a contraction of "you are." e.g. "You're American," or "You're an idiot."
>>177
Hahahaha, what? That doesn't make sense at all. Can you tell the client to cache what he doesn't yet have? No.
>Very well if you think that, that was the opening first release, and their isn't any downloads i dunno why, but I have sampled the software.
So you have no idea why there isn't a download available when you never released the software?
>It is not hard to use, it is easy to use
That's your biased opinion.
>English grammar and spelling unless your italian?
What?
>a great admin panel,
Judging from your screenshots, it's shit. Its purpose is to reconfigure stuff which should never be changed (unless you move servers or something), which is stupid.
>it uses ISO-8859-1 because its kool
Fuck off.
>and why should it waste time resizing images.
You didn't get the "thumbnail" part, I assume. I suggest you increase your reading comprehension a tad.
>and it strips complete html not what it perceives as complete tags
That makes no sense, and you obviously have no clue what escaping something means.
>And stop taking the *** You dont have the software so there :D
I don't need to possess a copy of your shitware in order to figure out its quirks.
>Go on the page and read it again
Why would I? You haven't made any improvement in response to the criticism.
>I think this guy is on to a winner unlike you idiot.
Wow, I'm offended.
I have no idea why the guy didn't release the software?
i just used a sample demo the guy is offering.
okay maybe that answer was a bit biased:
its not hard to use, it is easy for I to use :D
Okay ill leave the nationality jokes and grammar behind.
okay i did get the thumbnail part,
and I do think you have to process something to actually have first hand realization of the quirks?
Improvements, look at the website.
Its one step at a time process, not a kick in the teeth.
Great your offended? lol
*have in your computer looking at the source,
spelling mistake my bad lol >>192
>>195 i do not think so, i just made a suggestion.
I am going to keep posting this until you guys stop arguing
here is the link to a demo
Hello thanks for all your negative comments, but thats what i would expect from MR VILE< lol,
"Since I understand this is the only canonical listing of imageboard scripts on the Internet I am going to take this opportunity to say that this software is a crock of shit and the author should stop posting it all over the fucking Internet like it's something more than babby's first PHP script. "
and yes to counter that i did get it plastered over the internet, why because its competition, thats why :D
What nation do you come from?? if i may ask? im from United Kingdom.
lol i so love that comment, but thank you for putting it online, greatness, cheers, and i understand it to be your whole heartly opinion, cheers again.
Here is alink to the demo setup screen:
http://rateitstar.com/start.php
the email might be in your spam but thats okay, it shud still work, thank you for your input,
and may i wish you a happy fruitfull new year for 2012, and a merry christmas for 2011.
I have just sent you a confirm link , i think im going to make an page called overthatchan.rateitstar.com
and rate your page, and all the other scripts that you have mentioned, but with more positive light on that subjects in quesion.
With respect,
Ere.
this is like an episode of east enders lol very funny banter
ᴍʀ. ᴠɪʟᴇ, i noticed ur doing that too.
