I in fact have my own board, and maybe will turn it into a Beach theme with some nakkid Girls showing up on beach. Hummmmm I need to do that soon.

It would be like AnonBBS/BitsyTalk, but without the undesired retina-burning effect.

Something tells me you would run your board like Kimmo.

I wouldn't ban people for bad grammar. I'd just simply run a decent AI to correct common errors such as typing like a brain-damaged downy.

If only Kimmo had've done that. AnonTalk might have actually been popular

I'd probably pick apart a few open-source boards and then code my own. I work faster that way than in a template, because I work most efficiently when I know each line of code.
The theme would probably be a programming/programming education board (with sections for the individual languages), and I would advertise by adding a forum signature to my accounts - nothing too ostentatious.

AnonTalk would've been niche regardless. To say that it could've had a cult following is more accurate.

Yeah, but this board became a lot better than AnT ever could hope to be under Kimmo.

The banning of DM certainly didn't help at all.

It's a preference thing. If you want many boards, use Kusaba X. It is, for the most part entirely based in your browser, you don't have to edit anything to ban a fucktard. If you want GOOD software, use Tinyboard. If you want to LEARN how to use an imageboard script to its full potential, use Futallaby. If you want to be an elitist bastard, use Wakaba. Think that through.

New accounts are disabled on GHOUL. Besides, no one wants him as an ADMIN, for he is just a fucking asshat with a loud mouth. He is perfect for causing drama, but is utterly worthless as a Sysop.

I tend not to allow myself to be abusive in my moderation. In fact, I have been called a lax mod MANY times. All I'd remove is shit like CP and whatever I have to in order to keep the board up.

It would be a chan, I wouldn't really advertise it, and there wouldn't really be a theme. It would be like AnonTalk or Minichan - general discussion without a set topic. Boards with one and only one topic are retarded.

Hummmmmm buttttttt there are all kinds of free ways for you to have what you want.

Lots of choices. I could point you the way to a place for free no ads, where you could have BBS but NOT have it host images as bbs boards do because you may know that can lead to BW issues.

You can have Graphic storage for your own set up and play. Make it look EXACTLY as you want it too. Have private chat (pm) and more

Wood not be Phpbb

If you want Phpbb and can afford some shared server I could even point the way to a full Phpbb set of packages that are tried and true with no coding experience required - these Phpbb bbs's all seem to require a hell of a lot of work for admins/sysops
