even phpBB forums let you bold, italicize, and freely insert inline images and inline links with BBcode, none of which you can do on, say, twitter or facebook

oh my god when i was 14 i made a personal website and hosted it on my dad's website and it's still up although the PHP customizations i did aren't working anymore so it's impossible to navigate. it is the only one of my friends' sites that is still up
