Every day the room was open

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

Peak was 44 messages on 2 Jul 2024. Colour marks activity: solid is a busy day, grey is a quiet one.

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

Every number above came out of the raw event log automatically, at build time. That's the same engine we're pointing at subreddits that still exist. It isn't open yet.

No confirmation email — we'll write once, when it opens, and not before. Looking for your own messages instead?
