IchigoBBS Documentation_

The IchigoBBS docs are not a marketing site. They are written by the same fourteen people who answer support threads, merge the patches, and run their own forums on weekend nights. We try to keep them terse, example-first, and honest about what is broken.

A page in this manual opens with the shortest possible statement of what it covers, then drops you into a worked example. We don't pad pages with screenshots of the admin UI when a command does the same job. When a feature has a sharp edge — a rate limit, an order-of-operations quirk, a server setting that will silently corrupt attachments — we name it in the same paragraph as the happy path. If a recipe in the docs is wrong, you'll find a correction note at the top of the page, dated, with the author handle of the person who wrote the fix.

We follow three small rules. First, no marketing prose — the docs never tell you why IchigoBBS is great, because the changelog and the install guide do that on their own. Second, no hidden assumptions — every command assumes the reference stack, but every page also calls out where it doesn't. Third, no abandoned sections: pages are removed, not left to rot. If a hook is deprecated, the page is rewritten as a migration recipe and the old path returns a 301.

The docs are version-stamped (you're reading the v8.4 reference) and they are forkable on GitHub. If you spot something we missed, open a PR against ichigobbs/docs — we merge doc PRs the same week, usually the same day.
