by automated i meant that you only need to mark a post and click 'ban', you don't have to manually look thru the log, find the poster, and add his ip to a ban file (not to mention finding a way to manually decrypt it). it also autobans if you try to do admin tasks with the wrong password tho.

and 4-ch programming help? i don't actually claim to know perl, but i seem to have gotten pretty far with it despite that fact. i'll think about it (because it'd look good on a resume)

yeah, i don't plan on using stickies for announcements, but figured some people like stickies, and it seemed easy enough to do. besides, i'm going for a /b/ like image board anyway, it's not a text board, nor a serious board. (also, i don't know about wakaba, but i did all this on kareha, which doesn't have global post numbering)

actually, there was already an option of setting threads to never expire. it just trims the threads furthest back, rather than the oldest ones. i was pleasantly surprised to find this out, otherwise i would have done it myself. (and the fact that this exists is the reason i don't plan on using stickies anyway)
