<p>Like all questions the answer depends on who you ask.</p>
<p>My answer:</p>
<p>First what lainchan.org is:</p>
<p>lainchan.org is a domain name, the host that domain name points to hosts an imageboard called lainchan based on vichan, it hosts a Mumble server, it hosts an audio stream.</p>
<p>The purpose of lainchan.org the domain name is so you don't have to type an IP address to access the services hosted on the previously mentioned host.</p>
<p>The purpose of lainchan.org is to be a place / community where people can interact online.</p>
<p>What makes lainchan.org community different from all the other places / communities where people can interact online ?</p>
<p>This is another good question, and one you haven't asked yet, but I will try to answer anyhow.</p>
<p>Our main distinguishing factors are related to our appreciation of Lain and Serial Experiments Lain. </p>
<p>The series is influenced by themes such as reality, identity, and communication, and it demonstrates them by using philosophy, computer history, cyberpunk literature, and conspiracy theory. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Experiments_Lain)</p>
<p>Most of the boards on the image board reflect aspects or influences of the series.</p>
<p>Because the series is influenced by cyberpunk literature, it very easy to label the lainchan.org community as just a cyberpunk image board, but I believe that label is incomplete at best and a restriction at worst.</p>
<p>My answer isn't the only answer, and I happy to see others posting their answer to the same question.</p>
<p>My question to you which you don't need to answer here.</p>
<p>The lainchan community is to you what you want it to be. What do you want it to be ?</p>
