Why is Null making his own forum software instead of using an existing open source alternative?

[randooshka]

I'm sure there must be a reason. I went looking and found that there's plenty of open source alternatives. Does anyone know?

 

[Just A Butt]

i know why

Everything else is a Centralized Service meaning it’s censored and has gay bullshit

 

[Just A Butt]

no that's not it

The open source ones have political trappings or are garbage. Writing a forum guarantees freedom from political bullshit and a featureset actually tailored to the specific KF use cases as well as assuring the license (or parts of it) can't be rugpulled like Xenforo decided to do.

Also coding is fun and writing useful software with a userbase is a good thing to go on a CV.

This pretty much. From a technical standpoint, open source projects can be compiled by everyone and people willing to go through the codebase can find exploits, depending on the work that they actually want to put in.

Open source has been Trooned Out.

 

[Ronnie McNutt]

there's plenty reasoning

1. autistic terms like what ducktales4gameboy said
2. lack of open source software that is actually fun and easy to use/configure (closest thing to that i found is mybb)
3. since you're already familiar with your own softwares codebase you can easily make changes without everything going ruckus
4. since it's programmed in rust it will piss off trannies

He's probably blacklisted from almost everything and people like Vordrak don't make it any easier

 

[DumbDude42]

no idea about forum software in particular, but a lot of open source software in general can be real shitty and annoying to work with

Anything at all to do with kiwifarms is not a good thing to go on a CV.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

He's doing it so he can't get screwed over by people caving to mean tweets from trannies who want this site to go down. He could also potentially license the software to make a little extra dough.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

So he can use the +NIGGER license.

 

[NigKid]

He said nothing really met his standard, this site is kind of special in the way that it hosts a lot more pictures and videos and has higher throughput of that then most forums would expect, id guess a lot of open source software would struggle with that just as xenfaggot does now.

New software will let you say nigger which is based. No pictures of women in bikini btw software will be sfw.

[randooshka]

Ok, I guess I was mistaken in my assumption that an available open source license couldn't become a problem.

 

[deepFriedBaka]

I believe in Sneedforo supremacy.

 

[Lieutenant Rasczak]

Will Null make his forum software open source is the question. I hope so.

 

[Julius Streicher]

Because our boy null knows about the software jew.
