Hrm.

Dunno if you remember the old wiichan, but back when it started off it ran on Wakaba. However its lack of multi-board management annoyed me so I tried out trevorchan – back then, it lacked about 90% of the misfeatures it later acquired. (I made the initial patches for posting non-image files on the /m/ board, actually.^{[citation needed]}) However it was terribly coded, insecure, and horribly difficult to modify... so I started my own script.

It's still lacking in a lot of ways, mostly because it did the same dumb thing just about every other board has done, and copied the utter lack of database structure that Futaba used, and stuffed everything into one table, so doing anything with a board requires either convoluted SQL or SELECT * FROM posts, but such is life. (Well, technically, Matsuba originally just used Trevorchan's existing database structure, although it barely resembles it at this point since it's gone through so many ALTER TABLE statements.)

Most of the Javascript is either from Wakaba/Kareha or original. The concept of the post hiding is from 2ch although the implementation is a bit different. (and unfinished – nmy intent has been to add a couple buttons to the top of the page somewhere like 2ch does, but I can't decide on how to do it.)

Eventually when the code doesn't suck I'll package it, but it's still got way too much crud in it for me to deem worthy of public release. (db.py, I'm looking at you...)

_{Now go write that page on the wiki :P}
