Vid.me has been dead so these tags are now useless. Just a heads up.

About AB2.064: it'd be nice if that was released some day, in some form. I see Staple's reasoning for not allowing people to use it, in case of tarnished reputation from derpboards and the like, but maybe a good plan would be to not include an installer, like AB2, and put certain things in it to stop it running on free hosts etc. - I was never able to install AB2, and it seems a lot of others have trouble doing it without actual knowledge of PHP and MySQL.

Or just give it out on-demand whenever there is a potential good use case for it. Only issue with that is sometimes derps will leak things.

Maybe a check for the byethost i=1 thing would work out well too, given byethost seems to be the trendy derphost of the day, and it's easy to tell a byethost site by that being in the URL on the first hit. Or just check if the site is installed on a subdomain (though this would be impractical, but subfolders are better for SEO than subdomains) or a free domain like .tk and block usage. Then the derps will either have to pay for hosting or consider rethink.

Oh, and the worst thing you can do with derpboards really is to sign up and generate bad activity (or any activity at all), as that can result in the resetting and remaking. Just leaving them alone will cause the derp to give up and not bother again.

I wouldn't have a use case for 2.064, but others might. I for one would just like to see the code released, even if it was without things like SQL files, just so people can contribute to the board's code and point out any flaws/exploits and more easily contribute to the community itself in other means than posting here if they wanted to. Heck, I'd like to learn a thing or two from Staple's code style tbh, which I haven't really seen much of.

While this post wasn't very well structured and I changed my stance towards the end, heh. It'd be nice to consider it, even if it wasn't for use outside K64 (I think Jul and DSHack do something similar). ^^

As for the VidMe tags, replacing them with another video site might work. Anyone have suggestions? I'd personally say VidLii but I'm fully aware a lot of people here don't like it despite its retro nature (which conflicts the retro nature lovers of AcmlmBoard).
