I know some people want to create their own imageboard, but don't know how to. So I went and created a site where anyone can create a board with a click of a button. The site's pretty new.
Once you create a site, you'll be admin/mod of it to do whatever you want.
The site's here-->http://www.anonib.com/
My temporary site where I play around is here:
http://www.anonib.com/temp/
you can search for other boards, remember favorite boards, or make hidden boards too
Hooray for you! You are truly a hero among heroes. Not that I have any use for this. But I am sure someone will.
A word of advice: Running a free service is really fucking expensive and will take a lot of time, too, as well as eating up your sanity. Are you truly up to it? The chances are pretty great that you'll call this experiment off within a few weeks when you find out what running a free service really takes. Good luck, though.
Let's bet on how long it takes that site to go down.
I think less than a month.

Well, I guess if it's on an actual server and not a host it will last longer...
But it has the potential to go bad real fast. Like if 4chan members found out about it and decided to make their own boards, or even if a few baords got really popular.
It's really cool! I wonder if wakachan could link to some of these...
What about a 2ch/4ch type of messageboard? Where could I learn about starting one?
I posted it on /b/ and most of the sites that are on it are from btards. I also went to the discussion boards for most imageboards and talked about my site there too. Even added my site to wikipedia(lol >_>).
But yea, if wakachan does link to my site, that'll be awesome. I'm also talking about the site on waka's "society for study of modern image boards" http://wakaba.c3.cx/soc/index.html
The only problem so far is how to get new users to the site. I definitely don't want to spam the actual image boards(I did make 2 4chan /b/ threads though). I don't feel that bad making post on the discussion boards though, since it seems more personal that way.
There's something about this that doesn't sit quite right with me. On paper it might be a good idea, but I can see a lot of potential for it to turn into a jumbled mess like that danbooru thing. The ideal of small groups of friends grouping around boards with specific subjects could lead to a multitude of tiny closed-off communities/cliques, eventually each with its own duplicate set of general interest sub-boards, meaning less chance for growth of a snowballing overarching culture a la 2ch/futaba. With this plus the option of hidden boards, you're leaving yourself open to lots of bad stuff like racism and cp. It also seems to have stopped working all of a sudden.
If wakachan links to it the links would probably be to individual boards instead of the site as a whole.
i realize that part, but it's no good to worry about stuff like that, especially if it has a chance to never happen. If things do get bad, I'll think up of ways to solve it.
Will you ever delete any pointless or stupid boards, like this one that I just made? http://www.anonib.com/internet/
no, as long as there's at least one post there. But I will write code later that will auto-delete any boards where no post has been created for the past 3 months on that board.
Is there a way to change boards from work safe to not worksafe or the other way around?
I can write code for it, but you can always just delete your own board and recreate it.
can we post CP there?
> server's in USA
fuck that. i'll continue using my swedish host.
This is really neat. I've been wanting to make an image baord for awhile but everytime I get to it I'm overwelmed in trying to understand it.
Anyways, I made an imageboard. It's called "Segaholics Anonymous" http://www.anonib.com/_segaholics/
And I'm also linking to it from my website http://www.segaholics.com
Segaholics Anonymous is a place for Sega and arcade fans to post stuff and hang out. I encourage anyone to come by and post some stuff to get the ball rolling.
This requires two things:
Futaba skin.
The ability for admins to edit as much of the layourt as possible. That includes no "anonIB" in big font. You can just put "hosted by anonib.com" at the bottom because the only people who care will look there.
I'm working on letting board admins change the layout, but it's freakishly complicated. Changing CSS file isn't hard to do. But TPL files are hard.
I'll probably work on a way to do it in the next couple of days. No promises though, it looks like I'll have to change the database tables in order to do it.
Also, I didn't think the anonib font at the top was a problem. I've been looking at that thing so long, I stopped reading it whenever I move from board to board. But the anonib at the top corner lets people remember the site.
IMO the AnonIB in the titlebar is okay but the big large text in the page itself is bloody annoying.

thanks, I am a anime artist and was going to try out some new things. My current hobby to do online is learning HTML and PHP. :) Pynyah!!
Ah, so it was 4 months.
I'm suprised it was taken down due to hosting reasons and not the enourmous amount of underage pornography and beastality posted there.
how do i delete my board???
A lot of threads on there say something about "TNR". What does this mean? The Internet only has a few things about nationalists and cats.
Actually it's preety nice.
Protip: Anonib boards die within 24 hours. Nobody cares about them.
PROTIP: Same thing with most things you can create online effortlessly, like geocities, protopage, whatever.
can we still post lolicon?
PROTIP: the books board was good and lasted a while.
あげる
MOAR!
.........
most of these "protips" are actually "spoilers".
durrrrrrrr.
make sure you get the futaba css and use it
So this is where it all started...
FukkenSaved.......
tell loev-chan to eat it
Damn, ads everywhere. In b4 lern2adblock.
Hello, does anyone know the easier way to get a free script and make your own imageboard on your own hosting?
