Title: Keyboard Imageboard
Post by: Wibox on Fri, 24 June 2011, 15:50:23
I thought an imageboard based on keyboards might be fun so I put one together.
I wrote the software from scratch and it hasn't been tested a whole lot so let me know if there are any bugs.

btw there's a couple things that are different on this imageboard that you would normally expect.

For one, threads are never auto-deleted- the pages just grow infinitely.
And two, images have an incremental ID like posts do and are never duplicated. If you post a duplicate image, it will let you, but it will use the original file, fileID, and file name.
If anyone has suggestions or if I left something out let me know.

I just use google to find my own pics.

Lulz - I just notice Google has blocked my Cherry Corp Sales Manager pic.  He must have complained.  It used to be Number One hit on Google images for "Cherry US Keyboard Sales Manager"


Ah, I think you misunderstand. An imageboard isn't a source for images (like google images), it is more similar to a forum for discussion.

You'll do fine on that board Ripster, it's how you wind up posting anyway.

I find sound samples and pictures replace a thousand words.

Is this a feature request? Being able to post sound samples would be cool.

I use Flickr.  But am careful to block you guys from the porn.

I don't think you are understanding imageboards yet

Is it like 4Chan?

Sure. Imageboards started when someone made a version of 2chan that included images in posts, called 2channel but more popularly "futaba channel". Since then there's been lots of imageboards- see here for a list of some: http://shii.org/2ch/ (see the left hand menu).

This one only has one board, and it's about keyboards.
