/lain/'s purpose?
| To worship lain ofc
| Damn it g/u/rl. We were so close to seeing a board with no posts on it. Now we gotta wait again.
| /lain/ used to be part of /cyb/. /cyb/ was a board for discussion of cyberpunk as a whole, and RP. Eventually they were split apart. Now /cyb/ is the RP board, and /lain/ is the board for discussion of cyberpunk media, ideas, etc.
| Would it be okay to post a cyberpunk sci-fantasy story of my own writing onto here? A while back I used to be the OP of a thread where people would have their own character and input commands for them text-adventure style, but eventually found no time to continue. I wanted to try again with another creative, community aided project, but /u/ is too crowded for it to be properly hosted there and everywhere else is just against what the board is meant for.

I don't think so, the entire thing was a pretty obscure thread. I have some of it saved on my computer, but off the top of my head I remember the first character waking up on a room that had a open window that flooded the room with pink and blue. The character might have also been a slime, but I can't recall. We only really got up to five separate characters in 5 or 6 threads.
| First character was some twin tailed loli who got vored by a tentacle monster, iirc.

Damn. I never participated in those, but I remember seeing them. There were a lot of those threads. I should read them sometime.
But, basically, yeah. This board is for everything cyberpunk related except for roleplaying, which is in /cyb/.
| The Perhelion threads were great.
| I don't like the fact there's a specific board for roleplaying. I love doing that, but I also don't like feeling obligate to.
| to love Lain
| >>616737 ...? Nothing's forcing you to? Personally, I ignore all threads from /cyb/ unless they're the Radio Wire ones. Those are fun to read. "Neil", are you in this thread?
| >>616743 >>616870 You gurls don't understand. I feel like I need to stay in character and follow the settings in those threads, when really I just want to dick around.

You could just make or follow one of the regular "in universe" anon threads?
Those don't require any sort of character maintenance, since... you're literally an anonymous g/u/rl on a textboard. Like right now.
| How many derps here would want to see Starstation Perihelion come back?
The last time I asked on /d/ most of the old readers were gone. I didn't expect to see fans of it in /lain/, of all places.

| I have shit memory so don't rail me too hard if I get this completely incorrect. Didn't /lain/ used to be just /cyb/ and what is now /cyb/ used to be /cyblife/? I recall this board being solely for the purpose of talking about the narratives of cyber life and generally getting meta. If not what greater purpose does /lain/ now serve?
