A forum designed without the use of text using just images to communicate with a built in editor and voting tools. Roommate and I made it as a toy for a programming competition, so we weren't expecting grand things. It got grabbed by the 4chan crowd so... uh... yeah. I linked to the best ones for a reason ;)
- cousin_it 18y agoThat's a great idea, and a great domain name. You didn't go forward?
- jward 18y agoNo real idea of where to take it from here. We have a few ideas that break from the theme of no text, such as tagging and a reddit style interface, and improved ways for the community to segregate out the flock of penises. We did the bulk of it as a 48 hour coding competition with the theme of 'antitext'. I wanted to make something in Django, and my roommate wanted to make something in flash. So from the start there was no real direction aside from the neatness factor and wanting to see if we could pull it off. Any suggestions would be appreciated :D
- jfarmer 18y agoLots of, uh, phalluses.
- staticshock 18y agothat's simply the mysterious way in which 4chan operates. but it's a good observation. maybe this tool can attract a different niche audience if there was a way to create a fresh, empty canvas forum that wouldn't intersect with the current website in too many ways.

- staticshock 18y agoanimation might be an interesting direction to go in. great concept, i'm glad some crowd picked it up. seems like something 4chan or ytmnd would dig.
