Incorrect. This uses storage on a server to store post data. When I first read that I thought this would be a distributed p2p platform of some sort.
The p2p web platform being worked on at OFTN makes it very easy to create a truly static version of this website (100% client-side p2p logic & data distribution) without a server database.
You will be liable for illegal content uploaded to your server (when notified of its existence), so you will be required to remove content from your server when you receive court orders/DMCA takedown requests/etc. With a proper p2p tracker-based system, you can simply forward legal proceedings to the ISP of infringing users, and avoid the legal time sink involved with this kind of site.
