+Why Tinyboard?
+==============
+
+### Written from scratch
+Tinyboard was written from scratch, meaning it’s not based on any of the ancient and defective projects such as Futaba and Kusaba.
+
+### Performance
+Tinyboard is built for speed and has proven to be incredibly fast compared to alternatives. You can make it even faster by [enabling cache](config/cache.md).
+
+### Configurability
+Tinyboard is almost entirely customizable. You can [create advanced configuration files](config.md) for the entire imageboard, or for specific boards.
+
+#### Cool config sutff
+* [Custom flood filters](config/flood_filters.md)
+* [Markup syntax](config/markup.md)
+* [Events](events.md)
+
+### Security
+Tinyboard was written with security as a priority. It’s not vulnerable to any of the [countless](https://web.archive.org/web/20121017012402/https://github.com/frankusrs/Kusaba-X-Threadshitter) [exploits](https://web.archive.org/web/20121017012402/https://github.com/savetheinternet/kusabax-idcrack) and design flaws affecting alternatives such as Kusaba X.
+
+### User-friendly
+Tinyboard has a clean and incredibly easy to use [moderator interface](mod_interface.md) with lots of features. Unlike some other imageboard engines, you don’t need Javascript enabled to use it.

+
+### Tracks quotes
+Tinyboard can track post citations (“>>1234” links) so that when posts are deleted, the links are automatically removed.
+
+### IPv6
+Tinyboard has full support for IPv6 clients.
+
+### DNS Blacklists
+Tinyboard makes blocking open proxies and other malicious clients easy with [DNS Blacklists (DNSBL)](config/dnsbl.md).
+
+### Anti-spam measures
+Tinyboard uses [unique and harder-to-defeat anti-spam measures](your_request_looks_automated.md) that keeps all generic bots out and gives attackers a hard time.
+
+### Javascript
+Tinyboard comes with extensible [Javascript modules](../js) comparable to browser extensions such as [4chan X](https://web.archive.org/web/20121017012402/http://mayhemydg.github.com/4chan-x/). It can pack all enabled scripts into one file and minify it, [if you tell it to](config.md).
+
+####Some cool Javascript stuff
+* [Quick reply](../js/quick-reply.js)
+* [Thread auto-updating](../js/auto-reload.js)
+* [Post hovering](../js/post-hover.js)
+* [Inline thread expanding](../js/expand.js)
+* [Client-side forced anonymous](../js/forced-anon.js)
+
+### You can switch over to Tinyboard from Kusaba X without losing any data
+[A script](https://web.archive.org/web/20121017012402/https://github.com/savetheinternet/Tinyboard-Tools/blob/master/migration/kusabax.php) was made for this. All you need to do is [install Tinyboard](installation.md) (which should take less than a minute), drop the script in your Tinyboard directory and tell it where your Kusaba X config.php is located. It should figure out the rest on its own.
+
+### More
+Tinyboard is packed with features, most of which aren’t listed here. See [`inc/config.php`](../inc/config.php).
