2.6 hours in and it's pretty good so far

if youre unfamiliar with what a vtuber is, it’s basically someone who streams under the guise of a “virtual” avatar. anime characters (more specifically, anime girls) are the most popular, but im sure theres some wacky vtubers out there

so i propose we have a sep-chan promoting our dear forum

as for the design, she should have heptagon shaped glasses and have the sep7 logo somewhere, like a hair clip or broach or whatever. the main forums should be incorporated into the design too, so like the flood could be, like, a Totally-Not-Flood-Infection-Form charm or something

lore would be is that shes estranged from her mother and has been hanging on for years without much notice, but now shes making a debut as an idol! or something

also every once in a while she’d do an anarchy stream where she could do random stuff, whether it be raunchy or something totally unique and she could have a different model with an anon mask or something like that

of course no vtuber is complete without memberships, and luckily for us we already have the secondclass premium membership, so thats falllen right into place

theres my idea to get traffic here. cheat, make it happen

and if yall are thinking “damn youve put a lot thought into this huh” then youd be absolutely right — what not being able to sleep on a saturday night does to a mf

Quick update: took a couple week break from working on the site to stand up my personal website to try to get more side-gigs. It had the added benefit of making me slightly better at Angular so there's that.

Authentication system is entirely setup now (front and back) with the exception of password recovery, password changing, and email changing.

I guess I never announced this, but registration requires an invitation. The idea is that users can invite other users (which is the only way you can create an account). Users who are new (30 days or less) who get moderated will have an upward effect to the user who invited them. They will likely rank down and will have all their invites removed and will not be able to create a new invitation for x days (thinking probably a 2 week ban on this).

On the flipside, the carrot is that there will be quests / rare items like nameplates and special ranks / roles dedicated to getting x number of new users registered and in good standing for 30 days. Ex: I'm thinking of making a role like "Paragon" or something that, among other things, requires recruiting 5 people (and anyone who gets moderated within 30 days subtracts from that total).

Basically: recruitment will be baked into the entire system and incentivized.

It's crazy how long Ross Scott has been on about this.

The guy behind "Freeman's Mind" is pissed, long enough that he decided to do it himself instead of calling on for the support of others to take the lead on it.
