"Ok, so now that my internship is over... (OKP v2.0)"
Fri Aug-26-05 07:26 PM by Triptych

  

          

I'll be writing a new message board. The chances of OKP actually picking it up are slim of course, but I still want to write a next gen message board because, let's face it, all message boards suck dirty asshole. Especially in light of new web applications like Google maps/suggest, gmail, yahoo 360, etc.

So.. I'll be keeping you guys informed over the next few weeks about my progress. Suggestions will be seriously considered.

I got questions the first time I asked for suggestions about others helping, and the answer is that once I get a decent prototype running I'll probably be able to use outside help. The initial design, though, I think works better with one (obsessive) programmer.

I could REALLY use a list of stuff you guys think would make a message board better. I'll also be adding suggestions as I think of them, so expect to see this thread around for a little while. Maybe once I get a prototype up people wil be more willing to chip in...

instead of coding a new board, check phpbb 3
Aug 27th 2005
17
I checked it out. It blows in the way all message boards blow.
Aug 27th 2005

But will there be an option for a less snazzy version?
Aug 27th 2005
18
Prolly not.
Aug 27th 2005
28

Aug 27th 2005

RSS...
Aug 29th 2005
32
rss for message boards is dumb
Aug 29th 2005
33
      What if RSS did the first page only, and you selected which boards?
Aug 29th 2005
34
           which part of "if you get more than one post an hour"
Aug 29th 2005
35
                could you not belittle ideas you don't agree with maybe?
Aug 29th 2005
36
                I'm not disagreeing with it
Aug 29th 2005
39
                     BBC News does this very thing now, sport.
Aug 29th 2005
43
                          the bbc has a message board?
Aug 29th 2005
44
                               Come on, RJ
Aug 29th 2005
46
                                    so, the bbc is not a mesage board?

Decent post history.
Nov 14th 2005

Just keep it simple (ie stay away from that AJAX crap)
Nov 14th 2005
72
Is Google Maps 'complicated' ?
Nov 14th 2005
73
      No, but difficult to program == a buggy message board
Nov 14th 2005
75
           that ignore feature would be dope right about now. n/m
Nov 14th 2005
77
           lol @ you nerds getting your panties in a twist
Nov 15th 2005
79
                All I'm saying is your opinion is wildly underinformed.
Nov 15th 2005
80
                     Well then let me just be blunt, in my opinion AJAX is an ugly hack
Nov 15th 2005

                          Read this and I'll consider your position:
Nov 15th 2005
83
                               Oh well, you interned at Google, I ain't mad at you at all homes
Nov 15th 2005
85
           Incorrect. Crappy programmer/designer == crappy board
Nov 15th 2005
78
Anyone willing to do some visual design for this?
Nov 14th 2005
