Hello Chase,
Just a little curious on how you wrote this board.
Did you wrote it in C/C++ or Perl? And what server
is this cgi hold? Linux? Unix? Windows? And if in
C/C++ what compiler did you use? gcc? cc? lcc?

Just curious...

Thanks

I wrote it in Perl. Actual the newsgroup stuff, the two
link categories and this board are the only Perl scripts
I've ever written (So the code is REALLY ugly).
If you want to take a look at the board source I put it
up for you at http://www.osdev.org/board.txt

The board still has some small quirks, like reposting your
messages if you hit reply after submitting. Eventually I'm going
to do a complete rewrite in java/jsp and iron every thing out and
add some features, but that's a ways off.

As far has hosting I just have a shared hosting plan
that runs on a linux box. I'd like to host it on a machine
at my home but my cable modem is down for about 48+ hours a
month. If I ever find a cheap place to colocate in the Houston
area I'd like to do that. That way I could host small OS
projects for people (MiscOS.osdev.org type thing).

Anything else you'd like to know?
