How does post formatting work ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p> It is standard vichan post formatting. </p>
|
|
<p> [b] makes it bold [/b] </p>
|
|
<p> [i] makes it italic [/i] </p>
|
|
<p> [spoiler]text [/spoiler] makes it spoiler </p>
|
|
<p> [code]text [/code] makes it code </p>
|
|
<p> To specify language for the syntax highlighting. Use something like the example below</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
[code]</p>
|
|
<p>lisp</p>
|
|
<p>(defun foo ()</p>
|
|
<p> (if (mapcar (lambda (x) (format t "~a " x)) '(is this not infuriating?)) </p>
|
|
<p> t </p>
|
|
<p> nil)) <p>
|
|
<p>[/code]</p>
|

What is the purpose of Lainchan ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Like all questions the answer depends on who you ask.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
My answer:
|
|
First what lainchan.org is:
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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 ?
|
|
This is another good question, and one you haven't asked yet, but I will try to answer anyhow.
|
|
Our main distinguishing factors are related to our appreciation of Lain and Serial Experiments Lain.
|
|
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>
|
|
Most of the boards on the image board reflect aspects or influences of the series.
|
|
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.
|
|
My answer isn't the only answer, and I happy to see others posting their answer to the same question.
|
|
My question to you which you don't need to answer here.
|
|
The lainchan community is to you what you want it to be. What do you want it to be ?</p>

Why are my posts being changed / language enhanced ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p> Lainchan has a language enhancer. It makes your posts more interesting and less like soykaf. </p>

\\|/|-|`/ !5 3\\/3|2`/ 14!|\\|0|\\| |\\|0+ 4 133+ |-|4%%0|2 1!|(3 |\\/|3 ? Why are other lainons not as Leet as me ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>Lainons are Lainons, being the same would be boring. Different lainons have different backgrounds and skillsets. Don't give up on lainons before getting to know them. </p>

When I post without a name, I get given a random name ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p> Lainchan has random anonymous names generated, when no name is provided. </p>

|
|
Where did /insertboardnamehere/ board go ? Where is /cyb/ ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p> The server was wiped and all the boards were deleted. Boards are still being restored, the work to recover stuff from backups is ongoing. </p>

|
|
Where did my post go ?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>Either you never posted it, or it felt off the board due to old age, or it was deleted by you or by Lainchan staff as a moderation action, typically for breaking the rules. </p>
|
|
<h2 id="12">
|
|
Lainchan is lame. insertnamechan is better.
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>Either submit your constructive criticism in a /q/ thread, or go back to your favourite chan of choice. </p>
