mandatory only to access 18+ servers, otherwise functions normally w/o needing to give an ID--but still it's pretty shit ;_;

I basically only use it for DMs and a long-dormant gaming voice chat channel with some of my college friends. Some of that core group wants to explore our options just on principle though! I have been the newly-minted privacy weirdo willing to trailblaze on this stuff, so I'll probably feel out Matrix and other stuff ahead of them :p

ive also heard stoat/revolt mentioned alongside element as well, stoat iirc actually had their signups overloaded bc of it LOL

lol i thought stoat was a fake "making fun of silly fake sites" thing like Poob.

TeamSpeak's registration was also slammed when I tried it about an hour ago.

Yeah there's a CRT effect! I am currently working on a much simpler version of the website, I personally find it a bit too confusing. So I've decided to set this aesthetic aside (for now) and create a simpler/cozier website.

fair enough! the effect is neat but I was wondering if it was a sign that I needed to go back to bed haha

Do you have a button for your site? I couldn't find it tonight.

Hah, thank you! avant-garde is very kind of you to say. That forest is still a bit of a work in progress... I made it years ago but never finished it, then I used the dialogue system for another project, and now I'm coming back to it to try and finish that page... everything is a bit of a work in progress really. but thanks for stopping by!

I don't have a button yet... one of the many things I still must do.

Not a problem! I didn't want to leave you out of my lil web neighborhood section if I had somehow missed it. Hope you get a chance to keep making your site the way you like!

I'll let you know when I finally make it, just in case!
