A central web server with browser clients is goofy. How distributed can you get?
Zachary Brown
everyone has an account, for moderation easy. make spaming, ban evading. everyone only show up as user. other than that maybe a rating system per posts but is off by default. the rating thing works best in small communities. once the community grows large enough rating is shit.

How about annotations for posts and then personal filters based on those descriptions?
Thomas Cox
Go drink some bleach, shit for brains.

maybe a distribute sharded database for metatdata and a distributed filesystem for images and videos? the goal is people choose how much and what they want to store and share. few people probably want a complete copy of everything.

i like that but are the annotations something anyone can create or is it a predefined pool. if it is a pool is the pool different per board/thread. maybe the owner of board/thread can add extra annotations. what do you think
Logan Young
This.
also more cunnyposters
Christopher King
moderators and janitors must be removed. never give a monkey any authority.
Leo Price
I like the idea of an open development dictionary of labels that people can draw from when labeling posts and designing their filters.
Dominic Walker
phpbb is pretty much perfect
except loose ends for addon scripts
niggers keep trying to reinvent the wheel
irc is perfectly fine as well. just disable server logging, boda bing anonymouse

You don't need the great and holy and sanctified lord almighty INTERNET (pbuh) to discuss ideas and make friends. The internet is an overrated meme and a timesink, go outside.

Distributed. Fast. Some form of moderation all the same for cp and shit. Community voting is dangerous though because it creates reddits. I sincerely don't know how you balance total freedom with no cp.

This is what peak performance looks like, as far as "anonymous forums" go. You may disagree all you want, but it is an inescapable fact.

wtf is this? Some beta of a new Reddit tier UI?

p = 'pay', or, its yet another Hiro Enterprises User Monetization Research Project AFAIK
see: idk exactly either desu, refuse to touch it with a pole, no good can come of this Devils Work, etc. But our esteemed eastern moot appears determined to fuck around till he either makes bank, or gets paid a ransom to fuck off again, win-win. Boards in general been going backwards since BBS days

I don't have a pepe sad enough to express how depressing the situation actually is.

I have an idea how to implement this properly but I don't have time or motivation to actually do it, as I'm working on other large projects for financial gain.
Biggest hurdle is the optimization of network performance.
Joshua Parker
Formulate it into a paper or some shit, at least you could get credit for the idea if it comes around.
Benjamin Cox
it would be very hard not to fuck with us for fun, if I were in his position. I'd kind of hate us if I were him.
Jose King
if there were some way to crowdfund some sort of trust that would pay a dividend high enough to pay for the server costs, that might be one way to float it. there is absolutely zero chance that whoever births the thing wouldn't take the money and run though. I was in the first biz delegate fiasco, motherfucker stole a dollar from me. However, if there were other hopefully massive profits to be made then there wouldn't be the same temptation.
We could do our own cryptocurrency and raise the money that way. Not putting the archive in the blockchain or anything, that's stupid, but like build a central wallet that either rents server time or buys fucking stocks or something after selling for government fiat. Shit it would have to be a 503c or something probably. I'd trust Uncle Chang to run it.
John Anderson
>a trust
is the answer, fairly sure there actually is a high percentage of potentially willing contributors, on condition they are not willingly contributing to an owners pockets. An owner who does fucking jack apart from dream up yet more new money-grubbing depravities anyway.
Juan Morris
What about a free imageboard with a cryptocurrency tipping system built in where a small percentage of the tip goes towards funding server costs? No upvotes, just something similar to Jow Forums but with tips
That way you can incentivize high-content posting and fund server costs.
Brandon Gray
the only incentivation a user should have to communicate is wanting to express an idea, not make money.
