Why don't you just put together a web site like the rest of the world?

It only takes a day or two to pick up the basics of HTML, and PHP is totally unnecessary for a simple site. It would probably be faster for you to learn HTML and get a free host than it would be to wait for someone to implement some built-in spoiler tags.

One great and simple option is using a free website program like Google's Page Creator or Sites. Both of which are very easy to use and maintain, and takes no knowledge of HTML or PHP(although learning the basics of HTML is a really good idea). Google Page Creator works kinda like the geocities of old, that gives you a basic WYSIWYG editor and some templates to make everything easy. Sites, however, is more like iGoogle that you can share. You drag and drop widgets and information right onto the page. Great for projects like a game developer's site. You can add links to gDoc files, throw up a gCal that will update when you update the calendar on Google Calendar, and much more that makes informing your audience easier.

HTML and PHP, like any other programming language, are not verbs. Do not use them as such.

Correcting people on trifles also contributes nothing to the topic. Go nitpick somewhere else.

Last I checked, BYOND member sites let you customize your CSS, which means you can essentially add your own spoiler tags.

The only problem is that there's actually nothing in place to show/hide entries (by changing their CSS class, for example) in response to a click.

Sure there is. Try something like this, you can test it yourself:

CSS:
a .spoiler
{
display: none;
}
a:active .spoiler
{
color: #800;
display: block;
}

Post might contain something like this:
<a href="#">Click & Hold To View Spoiler<span class="spoiler">If you see this, I win.</span></a>

I wasn't talking about what CSS can do there. As for this solution, I considered it before and rejected it because there's no point showing a spoiler block only for the duration of a click; if you wanted to be stuck having to hold the cursor in one spot, a hover option is better, but it still means you can't scroll down if the spoiler is long. You can do something a little hacky with hovering for non-IE browsers but even that's not good. The way spoiler tags are done properly is to open when a link is clicked, and close when a link is clicked.

But when I said there's "nothing in place" to support this I was talking about the JavaScript code necessary to change an element's CSS class, which is why I said "by changing their CSS class, for example". Using a script is the only way to get spoiler blocks to work correctly in the way most sites implement them.

I was thinking of old-fashioned spoiler tags when I suggested it.

<font size=1>Highlight to view spoiler:</font>
<font color=#2A4680>This is a spoiler. You are now spoiled, and your car looks faster, too!</font>

See?
