Futallaby - Definition and Overview

Futallaby (a.k.a Futabally) is software written in PHP to run Futaba-like imageboards. It continues to run on the image board site, 4chan. Essentially it is an English translation of Futaba, the code that runs Futaba Channel.

Futallaby was written by Justin Smith, a.k.a. "thatdog", a Something Awful goon and fan of 2ch.

Futallaby is no longer in development. A similar script still in development is Wakaba, which is written in Perl, and is featured on another image board site, IIchan.
