Tree based textboard

What does /prog/ think about boards like treeboard[1] and ayashii world[2]?

topanswers.xyz has a nice auth system. You can join anytime. If you want to login copy paste your key and you're in. No name, email are needed.

I quite like the site but have never used it. The data just isn't here for it to be useful.

What are good limits in a tree? eg: 10 children deep? 500 posts per thread?

>>42
No limits. The DB storage model imposes none (except space), so there is no reason to force one.

What are your thoughts on global numbering vs dis.tinychan.net numbering where each thread starts at >>1 ?

>>44 Global numbering is retarded. You can just give a link when referring to an old post.

>>44
Its totally a matter of how lazy or efficient you want to be, not really a preference.

>>46
Why would any of these be more efficient?

>>34957830544,34957830546 Global numbering is truly efficient! What a great idea!

Global numbering leads to lots of corner cases, race conditions and general
performance sapping designs(sequential series).
Per board/thread numbers can be assigned in parallel, on different unsynced server.s

>>47
Depends on whether you are reading from multiple logs (kareha style) or from one single log (futaba style). Obviously global numbering would be inefficient in Kareha style and individual thread numbering would be inefficient in a futaba style structure.

Note that most tree boards use a futaba style log

Global numbering can be sharted by assigning them in groups of (say) fifty per board. The amount can be increased as the load on the identifier-assigning central server increases. Then they'll be sequential per board, and weakly sequential between boards. To provide stronger sequencing between boards, assign a date w/ precision down to the millisecond to each message.

guys u never said if you like the way i copied ayashii's tree or not

basically responses are named as children to a post

>>51

Note that most tree boards use a futaba style log

what does this mean

>>54
one single text file with all threads and replies together, as opposed to an index log and then individual thread files stored in a subdirectory. Since futaba uses one log with all threads and posts, every single post is assigned a "global number", and then the software sorts by parent. Tree boards do this as well. If you have multiple logs like shiichan or kareha, it makes sense to have multiple >>1s, it makes less to have multiple >>1s in a global log. So whichever method you choose will have a default way that is more efficient, and changing that will involve some extra effort.

By the way, is anybody gonna tell the sonzaishinai dude his shitty heliohost domain is inactive right now? Dude needs a domain name, they're less than $10 a year these days.

>>56
how do we tell him?
;-;

Just found this treeboard which predates ayashii and other jap bb's

>>57
He finally activated it. But he needs a domain name. I really do not like going to heliohost websights.

>>53
Sorry to ignore it, I think it's a pretty unique idea of storing trees, although I don't understand how the ID is generated. I believe ayashii just has a single "parent" variable and sorts replies by parents.

This whole time I thought treeBB was deleted off the web but the owner just moved sites.
