I am an average PHP programmer with a lot of free time. I am thinking about downloading the original Shiichan source code to update and standardize it so it is easier to actually use on a server. Has anything like this been done sucessfully and is there any interest in doing it in the first place?

Tell me more about Shiichan, what kind of software is it? Not a bad idea, but I'd personally rather not do things that don't bring me any money whatsoever.

You weren't around for world4ch (dis.4chan.org) were you eh? I'm not sure about the Shiichan vs Kareha timeline, but Kareha is a much much better implementation of the same concept. I want to say that dis.tinychan.org may be closer to dis.4chan.org -- it has a paginated thread list -- but it has nice features that neither kareha nor shiichan has, like backlinking and an API.

I'm not using google, it's evil. Everything too centralized is evil.

I think the shiichan doc is more interesting than the code but it’s there as well: https://archive.textboard.org/shiichan.html
Code at first glance looks written for PHP4 and is simple enough, so I don’t think a large rewrite is needed to make it run on newer versions. I remember it one create boards and post in them and that’s about it.

I think it would be interesting to see the results, but I really doubt that this can be made it because the original shiichan code is pretty broken like other anon said previously...

is that tanasinn zip the tanasinn source code? cool...
