‘Mother of All Boards’ Blends Adult, Mainstream

TEL AVIV — BoardTracker.com, a messageboard aggregator designed by Israeli webmaster Ron Kass, has expanded from its original focus on adult boards to cover about 7,500 general interest, lifestyle and news discussion sites.

“Being a small country with zero natural resources, the main export of Israel is technology,” Kass told XBiz. The idea for BoardTracker came when a friend asked Kass a question that resonates with many adult webmasters.

“How do I find out who is talking about me on the boards?” the friend asked. Kass began developing BoardTracker immediately, saying, “Simple problems sometimes require new solutions.”

Visitors to BoardTracker will, as of this writing, find 444 adult boards, 1,686 sports and recreation boards and 2,855 computer discussion boards. These numbers will change as new sites are added every day.

“Eventually, all the boards on the Internet will be listed in BoardTracker,” Kass said.

The “Mother of All Boards” is a take on the first President Bush’s declaration to drop the “Mother of All Bombs” on Saddam Hussein.

“I thought at the time that MOAB -- Mother of All Boards -- was a better use of the initials. Certainly a more peaceful, creative and useful one,” Kass said.

Though the site started, by default, as a resource for adult webmasters, the site was always designed as a mainstream site with an adult component, Kass said.

“The latest upgrade was simply a long-planned evolution of BoardTracker, one that we have been working on for quite a long time,” Kass said. “While the adult boards are small in size and number, the rest of the mainstream world is quite impressive in size and volume.”

BoardTracker.com, a five-employee division of Pidgin Technologies, was launched in 2003.
