Word uppp shizinators! I have been on a roller-coaster ride with the current company I work for. It was under a friendly takeover, everyone’s jobs were a big “?”. Until … another company put a bid on it and won the deal. The company that purchased it will keep it running with better budget and keep all the employees, Ya still have a job!

During the waiting period there were no new projects, so when I wasn’t fixing bugs, I was taking advantage of some free time and whipped up a weekend type project called “theshizit”, check it out! www.theshizit.com.

It was inspired by message boards I used past and present like the infamous 4chan, reddit, facebook wall, stack overflow and other forum software. I wanted to create something a little more fun and a little different (but kind of the same). I wanted and implemented these features:

• Anonymity: No user information or dates are posted.
• No Static Categories: I wanted users to create the content and drive the board in direction I don’t determine
• Post Types: have different types of post, currently there is: blog, link, rant, code and question
• Keep the board fresh: the content each month is archived available still for view, and a new clean board is available to shiz on!
• Categories are in the cloud: Make categories stand out by giving them pow points, the users decide what is good

Its up, it is running so … sign up, browse, and take it for a test run. It is in the early stages, but still highly usable.

I will be opening up the source code when I am closer to version 1.0. Then you can run your own shiz board! The more shiz in the world the better! Now that is the SH!Z!T!!!!!
Shiz, shiz it, that is the shiz, shiz bang!, shizz’in, I am the shiz outta here!
