I've always wanted my own image board site, so now I have it.
This site is written entirely in native HTML, CSS, JS and PHP. There is no fancy external libraries.
This site also has the benefit of not requiring JS in order to use it, a challenge I put upon myself for wide support. The site isn't as nice to use without Javascript but you can still do a majority of the things without it, which is cool. Having that no JS limitation meant a lot of the logic for the site leaned more on php and all Javascript does is provide extra enhancements (like it was intended to be used).
This site is constantly giving me new ideas and features to add, so expect frequent changes!
The future:
I would like to make another imageboard site.
A new site that isn't so attached to my name, I guess. I like community-driven sites but this style of site is dying, I want to bring it back.
So at some point I will be getting a new webserver and hosting a copy of this site's code, a new board site. This site isn't going away, but I will probably lessen the scope of it with how many boards there are. Definately keep it up as the development branch and this new site the production branch.
I will make a large announcement when that happens, but until then... consider this site the beta version of my image board site software... I guess.
