>>25605 don't get it.
what am i taking revenge for?
>>25606 that would explain my difficulty in accessing it.
i mostly wanted to see it out of curiosity. i even entertained the possibility of starting my own little local one, using something like kareha.

In case you don't know, it's a reference to a guy who got banned or something and promised that the site would be down forever within weeks a few years ago.
>>25607 View Source just shows you the way the output looks, it doesn't show you how it's generated.
>>25608 Are we not a little local chan already? There are loads of kits for putting up your own if you have the right sort of semi-technical knowledge, there have been hundreds of chans over the years, it can't be that hard.
Britfa is basically run on a modified Kusaba-chan board (although I honestly couldn't tell you what version it's forked from - whatever was the latest and greatest in 2009, I suppose).
If you want to dig around and get a feel of how a board like this works, then downloading Kusuba-X (which I think is the currently maintained / most popular fork) and having a poke around in that would probably be your best bet. Tl;Dc - PHP, MySQL, AJAX. Database queries shoveled into Smarty templates.
Apparently most of the changes have been largely cosmetic (extensive CSS and Javascript reworking), although probably the most striking difference is made up of /*/ and /sfw/, which have turned an otherwise unremarkable cottage industry image board into the anarchic cottaging free for all that we all know and love today.
The origins of the name Brian are unknown, but image board anthropologists suspect that it is probably an esoteric in-joke, the true meaning of which is now probably unknown to even the most mystically mendicant of purple's Forgotten Children.
We leave you with these two images, which may provide a sensible chuckle to those of us who sometimes worry about our ban status.
