I started this project during high school as one of my first experiments with web development. I believe that it was initially created when I decided that it would be useful to have a way to store code snippets on my own server and access them using a browser. At some point the project simply got out of hand - its scope kept increasing and eventually I arrived at a fully functional pastebin website, featuring:

• a system of user accounts including OpenID logins (Google, Yahoo and myOpenID)
• private and unlisted snippets, adding snippets to favourites
• a tag system used to catalog the uploaded snippets together with short Stack Overflow style descriptions
• tag synonyms preventing the creation of similar tags
• voting system used to decide which tag synonyms should be added
• a Reddit-like popularity algorithm and voting system
• different language versions implemented using my own internationalization system
• comments featuring syntax highlighting and markdown with live previews
• an administration system and a system of user reports used for flagging comments, snippets and users
• several automatic solutions used to detect abuses such as spamming
• caching system designed to limit the strain on the database
• and so on...

The website stayed online for a couple of years. Unfortunately the several screenshots which I was able to find are from an older development version of the site.
