I kind of hate Lynxchan but it has the virtue of being modern and basically working. Its user interface is godawful, but at least it's not PHP. I don't have a clearly better suggestion.
I didn't realize that the hidden service was working. That's encouraging, they must have a host.
Ideally we'd have a third party provider that's permissive enough for our purposes but doesn't get political or heavily emphasize free speech.

Not them, but the advantage of a provider like 8chan or Endchan is that they don't care about our individual board at all and are unlikely to have a reason to interfere with it. I'm inclined to trust you, but this could plausibly be an attempt at a power grab.
