PRO TIPS FOR MAXIMUM FUN:
The mods are not on powertrips, they are friendly and are trying to ensure the quality of lainchan, not belittle your ideas.
Lainchan is a place to have your voice heard but not a place for you to drown out others' voices.
Mods usually ask each other for opinions before doing anything. We hate having to ban someone.
Just relax and try to have fun. Jokes are always welcome.
Visit a board you've never been to. Try out /random/.
Max file size is 35 mb.
PDF, ePub, and webm are supported across the boards.
We ALWAYS need contributors to our board software, located on github
Dice rolling: posting in the email field with the form "dice XdY+/-Z" will result in X Y-sided dice rolled and summed, with the modifier Z added, the result is displayed at the top of the post body.
Be smart when posting about potentially illegal activities.
