ok so like twitter u only see things by people you follow

and each post is "tagged" with a hierarchy much like #shsc #yospos #threadname

so u can read the entire aubforum at once or just each thread

quoting is paramount (because things will become unreadable without it

and because the only way to discover new posters might be coz someone has quoted them

and u can post to just #yospos rather than specify a thread

and people have avatars

and there is a $2 sign up fee


and it's moderated much like an e-bullying popularity contest

basically a forum/subforum/thread tag functionality (which is optional for readability but not essential for posting) on top of twitter and no character limit


even i could make this. in python. and run it from new Eland

sup, bitch?
there is an interesting concept here, op. but twitter has a huge bootstrapping and discovery problem that is a big hurdle to new users. on twitter they can follow people they already know or heard about, on your forum they don't know anyone.

also if you don't have a good app then gtfo
