For those of us who are put out by anonIB's current closure, is there any alternative to anonIB out there? In other words, is there a free (or, alternatively, very cheap) method of getting your own imageboard?
Give it a week before every current shitty meme on 4chan has its own dead board.
> Added some javascript to the text boxes disallowing special characters.
you do know people can turn off javascript, right?
Yeah, the java script code is in place until i fix it permanently.

You could have just made one post to link and make a description about your site, you know.
> Yeah the bee is funny. It comes on when you post, im deciding weather to leave it or not, anons will just keep embedding it, its really not too bad.
he obviously hasn't realized yet that the bee got there from someone running their own code on his server. which is very bad.
Its easy to make your own imageboard, Just get a free host and pick a script.

Not quite that easy, bro. You have to pick the right free host, one that supports the necessary scripting language (for example, if you want to run Wakaba or Kareha, nxserve.net is pretty good, but I've known other host sites that can't run Perl, also Wakaba needs SQL databases, so you'll want hosting with MySQL support for that...). And then you have to pick the right script for what you want to do (Kusaba and derivatives are generally not good for imageboards that attempt to fill a particular niche, while Wakaba isn't as good for massive sites with many boards, though who really needs that other than big sites I don't know). And then there's getting users for it, especially if it's a niche imageboard... There's a whole bunch of considerations that need to be thought out before making a board, if only I had known to think that stuff out before I went in, maybe 71chan wouldn't be stuck in that stage where the only poster is the spambot from tkwr.free.fr, and maybe I wouldn't have spent a month bumbling around with no real purpose and no niche chosen.
> And then there's getting users for it, especially if it's a niche imageboard...
That is a question you should already have answered well in advance of deciding to start a board. "If you build it, they will come" does not apply.

Yeah, I said they need to be thought out BEFORE making a board, something I learned the hard way. Of course, now that mine's up, it would be dishonorable to just give up on it, so I have to keep it going, even if I have to turn into what I hate most (4chan-style Anonymous or complete spamfag) to do so.
> it would be dishonorable to just give up on it, so I have to keep it going,
no, it wouldnt, and no, you don't.
There's no real dishonor on the internet anyway, so do what you like.
At least you have a free choice of whose advice to take. Follow your star, everyone else does.
I'm planning to start my own private board for my country, but I have no experience with codes whatsoever, and that image board 4 free site is dead, and to be honest it does not appeal to me. Since I have no knowledge on any programming/coding, where can I hire someone to set up a board for me? I would be most grateful.
www.yourspiff.com allows you to create free Kusaba X boards.
Yourspiff.com also allows one to delete everyone's boards through a random exploit. Or at least it did when it used Wakaba. With Kusaba X, who knows what's possible now?

Yes yourspiff shitty v1 did allow this years ago. This was a simple fix, and yourspiff has since been completely rewritten. If you don;t want free board hosting, go buy your own server.
well
I want to do to!!!!!!
