On an actual note, I am / was / will be working on a new message board software too. Was kinda planning a Christmas release but then I had eye surgery and couldn't stare at code for very long, hoping to resume work on my 11 day break starting on the 31st
It's just in simple html, css and php + sql
And I've not much of an idea what I'm doing, biggest achievement would be writing a (injection safe) bbcode parser from the ground up for text formatting and embedding video (youtube links, and webm files).
So if you need any help with that stuff, I might have something to pitch in with
