I have decided to use the site as a proving ground for a new message
board im working on, partly because it has (will have) a feature that
will make submissions a lot easier - the ability to create an image
gallery to accompany any post.
The idea is that unlike my existing board which is designed as
minimalist (ie doesnt need a recent browser or a high resolution, in
theory would even work on the Dreamcast, PS2 or X-Box browsers) I will
implement whatever I feel is necessary while still keeping the code
itself reasonably small.
To see what I mean simply have a look for yourself
http://ssftribute.emuunlim.com/bbs/ and if you want to post simply
login as user Anonymous without any password (there is no signup
ability yet, it IS only 2 days old).
Any bugs please dont report them yet as this is such an early version.
I would appreciate it however if you commented on how it looks and
feels. I dont want it to be like all the other boards as most seem to
have too many features but if theres something important missing I
will see if its logical to implement it.
The possibility is that this may be the start of a user database that
spans the whole site, allowing me to give certain people powers over
updating the site so that it doesnt fade away into the past when I
dont have time to update.
