 Old forums look great, and just work, and are still in use.

 I wonder if I can build this 🤔

A nostr forum client that is a clone of Craigslist discussion forums. Listing the current nostr n/ communities as forums.

And having them show up exactly like here:

Craigslist has kept their old style forums ( and main website) as Ye Olde Internete, it's no even nostalgia aesthetics (like agora road) or retro, they've just kept it lol.

I believe it is partly cos Craigslist run as a low cost, small team. It's also useful that it gives the impression of Ye Olde Internete, it visually reads as 'internet streetsmarts needed here, proceed with caution'. Probably minimally moderated, probably a handful of volunteers, mostly hands-off from Craigslist themselves.

As to if I can build this clone... Lol. I barely know how to use markdown lolol. I wonder what I'd need to learn to do this 🤔 #asknostr

 Are you trying to bring back the backpages, because that is how you get backpages 
 Just to be clear. I'm not interested in the Craigslist marketplace, it's the discussion boards I would clone (if I could lol) 
 I used to love craigs list! 
 Wait is this just what nostr:nprofile1qqsg73x9vycmxcnx3v8qr05vwxey0pje3wmglwgfeltcl2lmqkxapuqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz9nhwden5te0wfehxmrp0yhxummnw3ezumt0v5q3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kq869u7y built? What happened to Wired ? doesn't seem to actually exist anymore 🤔

I suppose it's different. This would us forums and forum posts from n/ communities and posts.

🤔

Anyway, I'm no closer to know how to do this lol 
 ppl keep post photos with illegal shit so i had to take it down. idk what to do about it, might put it back tho and see what happens 
 Ah, can't you use nostr build for images?

Mayne you were doing that anyway.

 
 i was using void.cat by @Kieran which is similar, but most ppl linking illegal content were using external sites so wouldn’t help unfortunately 
 Can you not have it so that it only accepts images from nostr build or voidcat? I don't know anything lol ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 
 might have to just try that. ideally Wired works such that it shows any post from any client. maybe i can just blur images that aren’t from nostr.build or void.cat until you click on them? still a bit sus tho. 
 Pay a whole bitcoin to upload non nostrbuild images 
 Really want a Craigslist forums clone, look how beautiful it is. But also happy with phpBB. Insane this hasn't been done yet. Nostr is screaming for it.
