Every day the room was open

The room's busiest day was in its first fortnight. Everything after that is decline.

Peak was 97 messages on 19 May 2025. Colour marks activity: solid is a busy day, grey is a quiet one.

What was actually being said

The room's own vocabulary

These are the words this channel used far more than the rest of the archive did — the in-jokes, names and shorthand that only make sense if you were in here. Median message length: 35 characters.

Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

Almost nobody walked out. They were removed.

Only 30 people ever chose to leave this channel. Another 78 were banned, peaking at 19 in June — a moderation purge, not an exodus. What actually declined was arrivals: 159 joined in the first month, 4 in the last.
