Every day the room was open

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

Peak was 26 messages on 2 Sep 2024. Colour marks activity: solid is a busy day, grey is a quiet one.

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: 80 characters.

Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

Almost nobody walked out. They were removed.

Only 21 people ever chose to leave this channel. Another 991 were banned, peaking at 122 in September — a moderation purge, not an exodus. What actually declined was arrivals: 29 joined in the first month, 1 in the last.

The last thing anyone said here

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

Linkman95I figured it out, Sims will not walk up stairs in this configuration. I don't know why, but they wont.
Lizzy100@Linkman95 Do you have cheats on? If not, that may cause some issues.
Linkman95I have turned cheats on to progress bugged aspirations in the past, but I turn them off again. I just made the last stair not turn, and it works when its a simple U shape. I can't have the kind of angled couch and room i liked, but oh well, better than sims traveling twice the length of the house.
twirlywurlyburlyQueen I can't even get TOOL to work and I have no clue why. I thought I followed the rules.

Lizzy100Gotcha.
Lizzy100Do you have the latest version? Maybe with the new update, it needs updated? I haven't been on discord for a few days, so I'm not sure which mods have been updated yet. Life first, you know. Lol.

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?
