    I wrote a mostly textboard-like forum script in PHP as an experiment.
    (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textboard )
    If you have really nothing to do, pls take a look and maybe provide

    Shortly after this news article is posted live demos would be available
    through Tor/I2P hidden services for a day or two.

    Just took a look and made a couple of posts.

    It's looking nice! In the past some of us had some working textboards
    with nntp backends. trw did a great job integrating vichan! Fun times.

    Anyway, I'm going to keep watching as this develops, I'm interested.

    Looks pretty kino! I'll probably be posting here if it gets enough
    activity. The only thing is, the theme is pretty boring with the gray background especially. Make it more colorful! (I personally like a 2ch
    theme or a Futaba one)

    I just went through our code, and it looks quite good to me from the
    code structure and style.

    To improve, I would suggest

    1) putting the config in another directory than the webroot, especially
    if it includes the admins password hash.

    2) putting in a function to generate the password hash for the admin, as
    it will be difficult for some to do it on the cli.


    Considering your problem of "flooding", it depends if you mean GET or
    POST requests (so, scraping bots or spam bots).

    For GET requests, you can do rate limiting in i2p+, with the webserver,
    or as part of your own code.

    For POST requests, you could preload the postform with a hidden token
    that is checked against your db.

    It was only a test that ran for a few days see this thread: http://retrobbs.i2p/rocksolid/article-flat.php?id=385&group=rocksolid.programming#385
    The developer only posted his responses in the programming newsgroup,
    which is why you can't see them if you're on a different one.

    Honestly, it would probably be a cool board to post to if he ends up
    making it a real thing.

    Looks like the host is down for now, any updates?
