It's sort of a pixel art discussion board. You would have to check it out to really understand it.

It was fun to build, but it would be hard to commercialize. Plus nurturing a community that is more interested in quality art than anonymous penis drawings would be more work than I have motivation for.

Move it farther from a text-thread format. Explore some undiscovered territory! For example, a slideshow would be a great way to view replies. I love the way people are making little cartoons, but the replies just keep sliding to the right. They should just change, with some way to control the speed. (Maybe the author of the reply can set the default amount of time for the image to appear before the next one comes.) So many possibilities!

This functionality already exists! It was one of my first times futzing with javascript so it's slow and clunky and could be done a lot better.

Ooh, yeah, that's nicer :) By the way, I love the editor. The slider bars that change color are amazing and the way it saves the colors you've used is convenient.

What do I need to do so that this page doesn't appear when I try to save my avatar? http://www.imageboard.net/create/avatar/
