Date: June 22nd, 2007 5:00 PM Author: indecent native turdskin The posters Rachmiel and Boondocks developed it. The functionality is based on the old Cold Fusion messageboard software, but the programming is original. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=648240&forum_id=2#8287109) |

Date: June 22nd, 2007 5:02 PM Author: White step-uncle's house Cold Fusion messageboard software eh? Anything more specific? I like the functionality a lot and I wanted to play around with a message board on my own, but everything out there is just so bulky with a ton of graphical overhead and no nested responses.

Date: June 22nd, 2007 9:31 PM Author: Useless pea-brained gaping theater Most forums use phpbb or some other crappy software that has a lot ofoverhead. Check out jdunderground. I am pretty sure they built that from scratch. The layout is fairly simple and there are no useless graphics. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=648240&forum_id=2#8288116) |

ML and Lisp are functional languages, whereas the most common languages (C++, Java) are imperative. Functional languages tend to be more abstract, which makes them more powerful but accessible to fewer people. |

Date: June 22nd, 2007 10:00 PM Author: Naked greedy puppy pit I think rach and boondocks modified the code slightly when they rewrote it in PHP. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=648240&forum_id=2#8288240) |
|
Date: June 22nd, 2007 9:57 PM Author: Naked greedy puppy pit The formatting is based on the old PR site, which ran Allaire Forums. I'm not even sure you could run AF on the newer versions of CF that most hosting providers offer or even find the software. Allaire opensourced it years ago, so maybe there's a copy floating around somewhere.
Boondocks and rachmiel just looked at the CFML and translated it (poorly) to PHP. |

|
Date: June 22nd, 2007 10:01 PM Author: Naked greedy puppy pit No question. I'm just referring to replies showing up under the wrong posts.
Edit: And that may have been a problem in the CF version. Most CF apps were sloppy. |

|
Date: June 22nd, 2007 10:10 PM Author: Naked greedy puppy pit Sort of. ColdFusion enjoyed its brief success because liberal arts majors could build a database-driven website pretty easily and quickly with just a decent understanding of HTML. You didn't need an EE or even a CS degree. Unfortunately, that led to a lot of really crappy code that was almost impossible to maintain and didn't scale well at all. That's why I edited to say that the reply problem may have been in the original CF version that the PR site ran. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=648240&forum_id=2#8288287) |

Date: June 22nd, 2007 11:17 PM Author: drab swashbuckling international law enforcement agency property you can edit phpbb3. i turned it into a e-trading marketplace, you cant even tell that it is built on a forum software. just edit the templates, take off all the graphics and edit the .css file. and voila. |
|
Date: June 22nd, 2007 11:22 PM Author: Flushed bat-shit-crazy cumskin but i imagine setting it up so that you can reply to individual posts in a thread and not the thread in general would take more scripting know how than I have, or could learn in a week..

Date: June 22nd, 2007 11:26 PM Author: drab swashbuckling international law enforcement agency property oh, that cant be done, unless you programme in php. it would be really hard. but how badly do you need the tree structure thing? if you edit the phpbb and take off all the graphics and bulky stuff. it would still be nice. |

Date: July 18th, 2007 5:26 PM Author: Arousing telephone There's not that much to the code of this board. The core message display stuff was like a weekend job.
If folks are interested, though, I can tell you about how it works. It's pretty easy, really. I think you'd get more out of it writing your own than just playing around with our (old and relatively messy) code. |

Date: July 18th, 2007 5:49 PM Author: Federal pisswyrm stock car I've always been curious as to why the forum code is a secret. Is there any particular reason for not releasing it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=648240&forum_id=2#8403148) |

Date: July 18th, 2007 6:59 PM Author: Arousing telephone 1) It's not pretty. For various reasons. One of them is that it's just old and was coded somewhat sloppily from the start. 2) For the elements of the site that are meant to cut down on spamminess, giving folks the precise details on what we do and how we do it just makes it that much easier to do bad things. 3) Laziness. |
|
Date: July 18th, 2007 7:09 PM Author: Marvelous Area Faggot Firefighter The original PR forum was made using Allaire, a forum used with Macromedia ColdFusion. At some point, Rachmiel and Boondock created a new forum from scratch based very closely off that, this is the result of their work. |
