I want balls stepped on and the cum to come out in droves, where has all the subpar softcore porn anime gone, like Shimoneta, Eromanga sensei, and monster musume, why must modern anime not have morally dubious taboo relationships, I’m so angry about my situation cause even though I enjoy little sister romcoms, I happen to have an actual little sister who would unironically hate me for watching such lewd stuff, and anime with femboys doesn’t even center around their relationship with MC, those that do depict homosexuality tend to be hypersexual in nature I just want a romcom with a cute shy femboy, please god answer my prayers.

I get very happy when I see any sort of extremely defeatist, or loser-coded post anywhere online. Not because I enjoy the suffering of these people, but because that suffering is (momentarily) visible. The internet has become such a well-moderated and positive [pejorative] place that seeing some real dread seep along is refreshing.

I mean: sincere and out of place posts. There are some places like r/kitchencels that are just roleplaying forums, or places like r9k where the (artificial) board-culture overwhelms any real "depression seepage" that sometimes does (rarely) rear its head there (I've since given up lurking that hellscape).

The ordinary and well regulated bore me to death.

Firstly you gotta start reading manga, there are definitely cute femboy romcoms that just never get anime adaptations. Tokyo passed a law about 5 ish years ago (i think?) which banned showing intimate blood related relationships on tv which may explain some of your problems. But also there's still plenty of subpar anime softcore porn it's just all isekai now, for example Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni or Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon.

define the term `otaku`. I call it being obsessed with certain things and related fields.
A train otaku would not only care about types of trains but also the tracks, the metal-working done to create trains and the ticket system of trains service.

It does seem that the Japanese usage is broader. In Japan, you have baseball otaku which would be an anathema on English chan boards.

it being obsessed with certain things and related fields
I'd add that this obsession is based in an interest and fascination for their own sake. So professional analysts and researchers might be obsessed with something because they get something useful out of it like money or position. Whereas an otaku is obsessed for the sake of the obsession, even if that comes with some side benefits.

Question for the hikkis among us: when you're in your room, what's the light level you keep things at? Pitch-black? Bright like it's daytime? Let me know! Personally, I prefer darkness or lower light levels because of autism and all, but I was curious because I always used to have a lamp and have lately been experimenting with just keeping my room light-less, excluding the glow of my monitor.
59 Name: Anonymous 2026-01-19 03:18

I also prefer a low level of light. I let a tiny bit of light peek through my curtain and have a small lamp behind my monitor. The only issue I am facing from this level of light is eyestrain from looking at my monitor.
60 Name: Anonymous 2026-01-19 05:07
My room has white foam over the window with black out curtains cut out to the size of the frame stapled directly to the wall, with heavy duty tape on the edges to prevent any light bleed. All the electronics in my room get unplugged when not in use, and my door has a gap sealer on the bottom to prevent light from the hall getting in. It is as dark as is reasonably possible. However, I do turn on light directly near me when I am using bright monitors, just to keep the dynamic range of my environment a bit smaller.
61 Name: Anonymous 2026-01-19 05:09

Yeah, eyestrain is a bitch. If your eyes hurt, you're essentially locked out of your life. That's the case for me, at least, considering just how much time I spend on the computer every day. It usually looks like 8-12 hours, and if I'm not on the PC, I'm probably watching anime or reading a book on my phone, which is just additional screen-time (if you count PDFs and EPUBs as using your phone.)

The darkness itself is very comfy, though. I enjoy the feeling of the screen being all-encompassing; as if there is nothing else to your existence. I've even considered trying to get rid of my sense of time so I could more optimally work on my art and do things without worrying about how long it all takes, but I also need to watch for when 5 AM hits, as that is when I like to go outside on a walk every day.
62 Name: Anonymous 2026-01-19 05:12

I also have blackout curtains, but a little crack of light gets through during the day and I also have a wall AC unit going through my room's window, so I can't keep it completely covered unless I were to tape it like you (and maybe I should try, but I don't want to fucking stand up and go look for tape right now.)

Sometimes during the Summer I enjoy running my hands along the curtain and feeling the heat it's collecting.

I often forget that *most people* went to a secondary/high school and didn't just spend 12 hours a day on the puter in their adolescence like I'm sure quite a few of the people on this board (myself included) have done. I preferred that life when I was really into it, but it's not healthy to speak to literally no one and have no friends when you're that age.

If you spent time listening to underground music, you may as well drop some good obscure artists for us to check out though!

Hand holding is nice, cuddling and kisses too. Also sleeping together or resting your head on the other person’s lap. Grooming is also very underrated way to show affection, like combing hair etc. Love based entirely on sex is selfish because you are just out to use another human being as a fleshy toy.

Oh, no... I just got a DAP and I like it kinda a lot. I was previously using an extremely shitty mp3player that was like 1 inch square and cost like 20$. Just threw some audio dramas on it, for listening immersion. Justified the terrible quality with "it doesn't matter, i just need it to play japanese novels I can half listen to 24 hrs a day."
and frankly all this is true. It did work exactly as intended.
but god damn was the user interface terrible. It had physical buttons for power, and volume. Everything else was through the tiny as fuck touch screen. If i ever was listening to anything Wanted to listen all the way through, pausing was always a dangerous proposition. because 1 micrometer left or right and the place in the file will be lost to track change. oh and no drag to seek, you have to push the next track icon and hold it to advance at 30x speed through the track.

The new one is about the best a dap can be without becoming an android device (why are so many of them android devices?) and cost nearly ten times as much! yay! at least this one fucking remembers where in the track I left it, and has physical buttons to pause/play, and previous and next track.
the problem of course is it sounds far better than any of my other audio sources, so now instead of listening to anime rips, and audio drama's I'm listening to spiderland and appreciating how clear the vocalist's breathing under the guitar is. fuck.

it's a religion & country of pease. No chainsaws allowed. Neom is the future. they generously granted refugee asylum status to all Palestinians & let them settle in Neom, visa free. They are very intelligent & skilled, friends of West, not like Zoroastrian Persians.
Saudi have no connections to 911. (because everyone learned that Sadam did it).
And they sponsor NA Turkey runs!
Saudi is the future. We need more Mosques all over Eurasia & Africa, because we are not smart to rule ourself & we never had our own religion & God. Look they had a book 9000 years ago, and we just recently learned how to write & type.

I've always just gotten into bed, curled up in my blankets, and tried to stabilize myself in some way so I don't end up hurting myself. It mostly works. I find that rain sounds relax me, so if you're in a situation where you're able to have loud ambient noise and it wouldn't just make your situation worse, That's an option too.

I've also taken hot showers, rambled and yelled to myself about whatever it is that's triggering the anxiety or dread, researched philosophy and thought relating to pessimism and death, and (as 119 also does,) watched some relaxing anime (My choice would probably be AzuDaioh or Lucky Star because I'm intimately familiar with them more than anything else.)

Oh, Music helps me sometimes. Specifically: harsh noise. It's not for everyone, but since we're on denpa-chan and you lot trend more autistic and schizo, I'd recommend you try some. It's very cathartic if you're emotional, and even when you aren't, it's still interesting enough to be engaging (provided you don't perceive it as "just noise" and don't get it, which is fine, because I think in order to enjoy it you have to have a certain sort of openness to all kinds of music.)

Anybody here enjoy some harsh noise, though?

regardless of how much I like Steam, I despise the fact that it is the ONLY real storefront for PC games at this point and I am immensely concerned for when gabe dies/goes senile/abandons any sense of principles because it's not like valve isn't a multi-billion dollar company lol

Monopolies suck, and monopolies that exist just because the competition actively spends time doing dumb Dick Dastardly bullshit instead of actually competing REALLY suck. I'm still pissed that Tim Sweeney seems to insist on actively trying to be like Lex Luthor towards Superman when it comes to Steam, rather than actually improving their product and giving people a reason to use their services. Epic's store is so lacking versus using Steam for no reason. It's so bad that no one even wants the free games on Epic, since that means you'd need to use the shitty ass Epic launcher.
I've seen a ton of PC game releases lose ALL TRACTION due to being an EGS timed exclusive.

I could keep going but now I'm getting angry.
Also, I really should go use GOG more, since I won't need to worry about what happens to my library if Steam ever breaks their promises. Technically, I can just "acquire" those games after the fact, but it's better to support a company that has actively made it so you don't need to depend on their continued existence to play the games you bought.

When it comes to online game stores, people go ‘oh steam is good’ while steam has things as DRM and online activation required to play too.

Meanwhile on gog and itch you actually own your games, you can make your own offline game archive.

It greatly annoys me too that indie devs seem ONLY to release on steam, totally ignoring other platforms.

Even indie games have Steam achievements, so it'd require making a separate build of the game, at the very least. Cloud saves also, maybe. The Steam "emulator" linked earlier also suggests devs use it to simplify republishing games:

If you are a game developper and made the mistake of depending too much on the steam api and want to release of version of your game without it and don't want to rewrite your game, this is for you. It is licenced LGPLv3+ so the only source code you need to publish is the source code of this emulator (and only if you make modification to it).

Same. Its expensive and I just don't have the time. There's a good chance that the genre of games you used to be into when you were young aren't being made anymore so there's less incentive to keep up with new releases. I used to be obsessed with survival horror and then came along the slender man clones and streamer bait titles, low quality slop marketed as horror so it all felt pointless. These days I pretty much only play older titles and VNs. Newer games just look awful, they look like they mimic work with all the stat maxxing and grinding. So you are paying to work. Fuck that.

It's not all slop, but there's a lot of pure trash, yes.

This does not mean there aren't any brilliant games, and some systems will be much less terrible for doing this than others.
N64 has a surprisingly high quality-to-shit ratio, and this has nothing to do with nostalgia - there was a bigger market on PS1, so there are oceans of trash there, burying the dozens and dozens of top-class games the PS1 has.
Case in point (if not a great point): the 32X has a weirdly high quality-to-shit ratio, although I will admit that this is largely because the library is full of several fairly decent ports of some very good games, and there are less than 40 games period.
The 2600, NES, PS1, PS2, and Wii are probably the most slop-filled machines, but that's largely because they had such high market share.

If you want to feel jaded, sit down with a fullset of games for almost any given system and play them one-by-one in alphabetical order for a few minutes each. You will encounter more garbage than you could have ever believed existed.
Doing this with the NES is actually pure fucking torture.
This doesn't mean you won't also encounter the games that people actually liked.

There are machines with really high quality to shit ratios (like the Neo Geo AES, even if you will play through dozens of fighting games, some of them basically yearly releases like KOF), but you will also notice the fact that those systems don't have very many games on them overall.

In order to stop being endlessly inundated with pure trash in terms of media, I simply have a ban on anything from this decade. I don't play, watch, read, or listen to anything made after 2019. The last six years have for the most part been a failure and I'm done trying to engage with the culture surrounding the world today. I'm repulsed by where we are and what we're doing and I think this general guideline reflects that, though by 2018 the cracks were already starting to show, so really this rule of mine is mostly encouragement to experience more stuff from the 90s and 2000s.

(I don't follow this rule to the letter, since there are some good bands left that had albums I like in, say, 2021, but generally speaking it's better for me across the board if I just stop existing in the 2020s as best I can.)

Source games just have that vibe to them. I don't really like the word 'liminal' because it's one of a million words the internet likes to overuse to the point of undefinition and loss of meaning (ie: slop,) but Source games do have this sense of liminality to them that simultaneously unsettles me and draws me closer to the game. I've never played Counter-Strike before, but I'd imagine it would be a similar feeling as walking around in an empty CS map or something. Very unique emotion!

On a somewhat-related note, I just remembered this cool game jam on itch where the premise was that you had to make a game about a dying MMO. There are a few gems that came out of it. I'd recommend checking it out; the one I remember the most vividly is 'Sanctuarium Online,' which plays like a DS Emulator! The game itself was just alright, but the emulator was a really neat concept.

well I disagree with you but I do think we should probably keep the sexposting to a minimum. For me it has nothing to do with 'muh lgtvabc123' or whatever, it's just sort of unnecessary and we can talk about stuff like that on occasion without it being the sole topic of discussion (even though it'll probably blow over anyway. 50 replies from now, I guarantee we'll be onto something completely different.)

To help facilitate that: I've been on a Skyrim kick again; downloaded a huge modlist this time. Once every few months, biannually perhaps, I get this extreme urge to play every Elder Scrolls game again. So I do. Usually get burnt out after a few hours, though, because I'll spend upwards of 8-12 hours every day solely playing TES. This autism shit gets serious ;-;

Mhm. Horse mechanics are for the most part undercooked; mounted combat wasn't even in the base game, iirc. They added it in a patch some time after release. Also, horses are essentially roleplay items; I'm relatively sure they aren't actually that much faster compared to foot-travel.

The biggest issue with horses is, of course, that they fight enemies when you dismount, making it inconvenient to have one. If it dies (which is very possible unless you have a mod that makes the horse not aggro everything,) it becomes a waste of a thousand gold. At least you can get something for your character to be sad about, though. It might be a good avenue for some development in that regard.

Skyrim was never my favourite when it came to character roleplaying, anyhow. TESII Daggerfall is the most 'open-world' of them all, though it's definitely more antiquated and focused on huge, sprawling dungeon-crawls than any other Elder Scrolls game (if you aren't playing a thief.) Love it to death either way.

Dude, what are you saying. Monoculture has been a thing since mass media (post ww1 consensus), it isn't specific to 21st social media.
Also, it matters little if you have 1 (one) "retarded culture" or 20 disparate equally "retarded cultures".

Everyone listens and makes the same types of music. Dresses the same. Talks the same.

What? Let’s say you want to go out and listen to some music in 1933. If you are in Chicago or in New Orleans, there’s a good chance you’re going to be listening to very different sounds played by local musicians with their own way of doing things. There may be overlap and learning about others through records and jukes or producing Tin Pan Alley slop. Even popular musicians in India were massively different from those in New York. We don’t have that sense of distance anymore. Nowadays, a handful of styles become dominant and spread everywhere via the internet and everyone tries to copy those styles. Local traditions of musicianship die or get absorbed into the slop.

Like that is literally what a _culture_ is.
No it isn’t and even then we used to have different cultures. Now we have one Twitter borne monoculture that spreads everywhere like a pandemic virus mincing every other culture. And if something doesn’t fit this internet borne sickness, then it’s bad and has to be replaced. Like here I am in a country that has virtually no immigrants, but people here are being whipped up by Magatard anti-immigrant hysteria. Why? It’s what they saw online. Stupid fucks have their mind in one place and their bodies somewhere else.

distributed networks make this close to impossible.
consider - taking out all of cloudflare would make many many many of the western internet infrastructure fail. probably for days. but the network would recover as soon as the routes expire. AWS would be the number 2 biggest thing to hit, unfortunately it's not a single thing but even if there was some way to poison the entire AWS network permanantly all that would be lost was everything stored on it (a fuck ton yes, but crucially not "the whole internet)
either of these would be a huge shock to the corperate world, but things would go back to business as usual in days, both /might/ take the whole thing down for over a week, but only in the english speaking world.

for super fast yakisoba I use Indomie as the noodle. I'll start the water on the stove and start preheating the pan for frying I wouldn't suggest teflon coated, since frying requires higher temp. if you want to be awesome get a carbonsteel wok, but i'm not that awesome and just use a thicker carbon steel pan. (castiron is great for this too)
while that's getting hot and the water is getting to boil i do vege prep. Onions are a must, half an onion, peel the skin, then cut into radially into wedges. carrots are great, I'll use the back of my knife to scrape the skin off roughly, give it a rinse then roughly Julienne them. bell pepper, mushroom, squash, peas, green beans, broccolli, all work great. if i'm using some frozen veg I'll throw them in the water when it hits a boil along with the noodles. for fresh veg i throw them in the pan at the same time (no need to overly fry them.) I also will drop an egg on the side of the pan with the veg then break the yolk without scrambling it. after about 2-2.5 minutes of boiling the noodles, drain (do not fully cook the noodles!)
scoot the veg on top of the egg to give room so the noodles can directly contact the pan. add some oil (either the coconut garlic oil the noodles come with or a neuteral oil. noodles (and any boiled veg) go into the pan along with any surface water that stuck.
here you can either use the packets that come with the indomie or use a combo of oystersauce, fish sauce, soy, chili paste, garlic, green onion, ginger, and or sesame. There are many variations, and knowing what you like more or less is a bit of experimentation.
let the noodles fry a bit before stiring it all together to mix the items and flavors up.
takes about 6 minutes total. if you have any leftover proteins like boiled chicken, pork, beef, (firm) tofu or frozen shrimp all work great.

i will sometimes upgrade the noodles with fresh yakisoba noodles from an asian market but for a quick lunch i keep pantry stocked with the "instant" panfry noodles. (do not use instant ramen, it will be sad and you might cry)

it is very easy to open up thinkpads, you can find disassembly guides on youtube easily. Fixing the fan itself is harder, it's probably more effective to just replace the fan entirely unless you know what you're doing. You can find thinkpad fans pretty easily, or you could rip one out of another x200 which is sold cheap "for parts". Replacing the fan is not complicated at all.

The more I think about the internet the more I realize it’s been a disaster for mankind. I find I like it less and less and actually hate spending time on it. Online people aren’t really human, they are moral monsters. I want a home in a rural area or an isolated more traditional place, away from this evil society. I’m gonna focus on spending time in the world, in the environment. The only people who spend all their time online in a world of text and image are people who hate physical space, who hate trees and grass. This internet is a giant mental prison.

If you really do struggle with your social skills get a volunteer job. It'll get you out of the house and talking to people.
Asides from that I'd focus more on making friends. Unironically see what normies events are going on in your local area. It could be a crochet club for all I care, just go. If it's not for you you can leave, no pressure. Maybe you go to a few events or clubs and none of the people there interest you, at least you have a few novel experiences.

I have this issue where I’m attracted to women but find them frightening and disturbing and don’t like them either. Maybe it’s because I know women more through otaku media than actual IRL women. When I see girls in skimpy outfits and judge them. When I see what women post online, I find it hard to think about living with them. There’s something nihilistic about them or about me. I want a good girl. Someone who’s sweet, feminine, and dresses modestly, but maybe that’s a sick male delusion too? This is the Madonna Whore complex maybe? So yeah definitely stunted. People being exposed to otaku media, porn, anime, movies etc. without knowing actual IRL girls become psychologically warped. Too afraid to be around them. Too afraid of spooks in our head.

The thing is when sex chemicals are not in my brain I can see that the female body (and the male, all biological life) is actually grotesque and horrific. Unlike most people, probably due to autism and just my general retarded contrarian nature, the chemicals don't do enough to mask the horror of sexual reproduction. It even intrudes when I am alone in my room watching pornography. The second I finish I realise the entire endeavor was vile and useless, and I am exceedingly pleased to not be in the room with the woman in my video or image. I'm actually very content with occupying this position. It means I do not have to deal with all of the excessive baggage that comes with a romantic attachment to another human. In summary, >>267

You're overthinking it. I don't even think of anime women and real women as remotely the same thing. Are there really people like that?
I thought you could be a wagie with a wife that hates you and the only thing in your life is some 2D woman.
I mostly didn't interact with women outside family because they usually have a shit ton of connections and I'm paranoid (If you'd just have a glimpse of how many messages the average even below-average woman has). Also with social media with a 50% (I think it was 50% that aren't on Tinder or such) chance you're competing with people from all-around the world. I've seen retail workers scrolling through Tinder saying how someone flew them out then complain about how they were weird, they will swipe past and laught at average and below-average guys sometimes with their friends.

I can’t help thinking of women as sexual creatures, that they are just inherently lewd and erotic so they don’t follow any moral rules except good girls. But you can never know if they are good or not. It feels sinful being attracted to them and I have a hard time when a woman pats me on the shoulder or touches me in any way. Sure people will say I’m being misogynist and maybe they are right. Loneliness and internet have warped my mind.

Absurdism allowed me to reconcile my nihilism and yearning tendencies. However it kind of requires you to accept that you’re coping. I mean…the whole coping conversation is kinda redundant at this point.
296 Name: Anonymous 2026-03-11 05:30
The coping conversation... by my arse I am glad I choose to live under a rock. I could never stand to see coping referred to as a bad thing and used as an insult. It literally means dealing with something and succeeding. Another braindead channerism that's only thrown around in low effort bait and ad hominems that bled into the mainstream and got amplified a thousandfold for the worse. Of course there are bad ways to cope and people rightly are annoyed by thinskinned people who become evasive and start making excuses but in being applied to these people the term cope has been thrown under the bus for no apparent reason but to demoralize and infantilize "the opposition". To mature is to learn how to cope.

"To mature is to learn how to cope." Immaturity manifests itself as anti-social behavior whereas one aspect of maturity is prosociality. By saying "learning how to cope" I mean learning how to cope in individually healthy and socially non-transgressive ways, or transgressive ways that lead to development and not aimless destruction. There is nothing wrong with coping. You're stretching your common sense thin and grasping at air to make a non-argument here. I explicitly call out bad ways of "coping", such as excuses and evasiveness, which fail to address the difficulty successfully, they fail to address it at all, they sideline it and postpone dealing with it--coping with it. If you have to learn how to do something you aren't doing it well and if you aren't coping well then are you coping at all? Calling out such behavior and moral disengagement is the opposite of demoralization and infantilizing. I want people to take moral responsibility and learn how to cope. My issue is with the term cope being co-opted to mean and to be associated exclusively with this kind of non-coping or maladaptive coping mechanisms and used as a thought-terminating cliche and zinger against people you simply don't like whether they exhibit these behaviors or not. What happens is it ends up potentially discouraging people en masse from actually developing coping mechanisms and growing or people getting dismissed and ridiculed for displaying even the slightest inkling of maturation. I am appalled by impoverished discourse like that. It's a major factor why the web is increasingly less and less comfy.

I don't know if this'll help but maybe it's something.

Silent Hill 4 is the best of the SH quadrology because it actually depends on being a game to work as a game, the other SHs could've been told equally well or better as films or comics but to transport the player into Henry's head requires interactivity. The boringness of the game makes you want to go look out the window, peek through the hole in the wall, all voluntarily and slowly you come to embody Henry's isolation as the player. And the safe apartment becoming a haunted and hostile place over time is not the horror; the horror is that it is still the safe place, the only safe place and you have learned to love it and you don't even think about the door with the chains anymore. The only escape is delving deeper into your own isolated imagination only to resurface to a worse reflection of it in the real world. Good night.

I could never finish SH4 because the first person segments gave me awful awful motion sickness and I couldn't play it for more than a couple minutes.

SH's atmosphere comes from the space you are exploring. You can't do that with a movie or a comic because there's no map to move around. That's where all the atmosphere is. You're exploring an environment, finding people's notes or clues, and soaking up the visuals while having to fend off enemies and find supplies. SH2's gameplay is pretty lackluster because of the absence of difficulty.

aimless destruction
Destruction is destruction with an aim or not. Being knowingly dishonest with yourself for your own benefit is probably one of the worst things you can do in life. The only question like it always is, do you value truth or your own comfort more? No need to put on grandiose displays or explain yourself out of it, it's as simple as a concept gets, which usually means it's not COPING (!) in terms of stating itself.

coping well
No such thing. You either tell the truth or tell a lie. Simple. You created an elaborate web of copes to back the copes. And it still eludes you and there is no escape until you see the recursion to nothing for what it is.

zinger
The real zinger is when people observe something happening in reality and go out of their way to spin it into something it's absolutely not. How do they live with themselves pretending to be stupid, just so they can spare themselves some bad feefees? The world is extremely sad and it's hard to survive, but that doesn't mean coping is the answer. Because it just looks bad and insults intelligence. And it's also probably the reason normies seem legitimately batshit insane, because they all love coping and you don't know what is ever going on in their heads, because it's all fantasy made up by their feel good whims. Don't cope! Fight to the bitter end and become worthy of true respect, even if you have to suffer forever.

Not really. I've been one for 7+ years now and despite my personal issues I feel like I've barely begun exhausting all that this lifestyle has to offer. I am speaking from quite a privileged position though. There are small pockets of sanity on the web and if I grow weary of the world I can always just go into the woods or retreat into my own mind and come back refreshed. Recede in te ipsum, quantum potes.

Why element and not xmpp?

element? you mean matrix?

also i think irc channel would be more fitting for a "real-time denpa-chan chat-room"

perhaps....

It would be slightly ouroboric though. n0 creates textboard to replace his chatroom. Members of said textboard create chatroom to use in lieu of textboard...

In my experience, when small imageboard communities create a discord or irc, the site starts to die because people just talk there instead of posting. It also always ends in "drama". I for one am against the idea.

yeah i don't really think it's needed or should be done tbh

Seconding this. The idea that it would kill the board is stupid

What's stupid about that idea? As >>324 mentioned - the irc would inevitably siphon some posts that would be made here and would likely decrease overall activity.
We could disagree about if this would lead to the board's death (where do you even draw that line?), but it seems pretty obvious to me that this would reduce the overall level of activity.

Maybe you weren't here but this was tried (with discord and matrix) in the early days of the board. Somehow it seemed to make more sense then because n0 had shutdown his discord server and this site was to be its replacement, which ultimately led some to want to reclaim a type of live-chat group for the people who had been members of the original discord server. Ultimately this server and its matrix spinoff both fell out of use a bit more than a year ago.

In my experience, people use IRC and boards for different types of things, so it doesn’t necessarily decrease activity. There are ways of mitigating that anyway. You could shut the IRC down or have it closed for a couple hours, forcing people to post. I could see it killing the chat thread but not the rest of the site.

to be clear, i was telling 326 to make one if they want one. in the spirit of "do it your damn self" in full remembrance of the failed earlier experiments to spinoff chat rooms. I don't think it would kill the board. In the best case it would improves the board content quality, the more likely case is 3 online users at peak usage of the chat and dead in a week, with only a few shill messages to ever mark it's existance.

I mistakenly replied to you and not >328
I agree that what you've said is most likely.
The ideas >>330 suggested could also be used if an IRC did manage to take off in a way that slows activity on the site.
