Any of you familiar with textboard technology? I've been looking to find an active textboard in english, and so far there are barely any options.

Textboards got hugely overshadowed by imageboards, much harder to make shitty forced memes and epic screencaps for reddit.

just use irc
why the fuck
>>59175741
Textboards are easier to moderate and operate, but who wants to post when you can't even upload images?
Too bad chan-sites require constant moderation because people are so shitty.

could always hotlink images?

>just use irc
One thing I don't like about IRC is everyone has a nickname
>>59175825
irc isn't anonymous

How do you feel about a messageboard system that piggybacks off of imgur so you don't have to host any data yourself?

It's a great idea!

you're gonna get your API key banned from imgur almost immediately

just have the users upload the images themselves

Your pageload speed will be as slow as the slowest image host in the thread, because you'll be loading the full images and not thumbnails.
But then by thumbnailing, you'll be storing data on your server, and that defeats the whole purpose of keeping your concerns separate from the image host's.

Looks that way, not sure if it's a reiteration.

It can be made anonymous, very few servers are like that though.

Images are distracting to discussion and are used like emoticons most of the time. Text can fulfill anything that an image can, especially when there's text art.
