Ok, well, since you asked. I'll explain the situation but I doubt you'll 
like it as it's a bit ungracious. Across the internet, there are these 
domains called imageboards (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard). 
There is a particular popular imageboard which is used more than others 
titled 8chan but it seems that the engine it runs on is broken 
(https://8ch.net/tech/res/591588.html) and it's Admin compromised. For 
what it's worth, I'm figuring to start my very own imageboard with this 
engine (https://github.com/infinity-next/infinity-next) but it's too 
incomplete! So how would I get the engine I want to utilize completed if 
I don't know the language and framework it's written in? This is truly 
about the software too though, nothing personal. And because I regularly 
participate in discussions on imagebaords. I'm hoping this email doesn't 
give me unyielding reputation. Actually, I first learned of LUG groups 
from this board too by the way. Before that I had never actually met 
another GNU/Linux user so please have some insight.
