commented: I love this idea! I first came across something similar on elle's site, and I really like the idea of making it a bit more accessible by offering a hosted service that you can just plug into your website :) commented: on elle's site What a wonderful website! commented: Thanks :) commented: This seems very neat. I'm a little worried about putting an unmoderated communication space under my name though commented: Just don't keep/persist logs! The ones here also expire after a few mins @reezer commented: This avoids long term evidence of abuse, but doesn't actually prevent abuse commented: Thanks for posting it here! I'm the site author. I'm so happy for the feedback I'm getting for it! commented: I really like it! The only minus is how quickly messages disappear (then you have to find the right person to click (who might be moving) to see it again). commented: Love it. Sometimes I worry about legal implications. Still I very much agree that this was the kind of charm that the early internet had. Now it's sadly largely outlawed or hard to do legally. commented: I understand that part of the charm is it being open source and backed by an individual, but I can't be the only one that remembers icq surf. commented: Cool if Lobste.rs engaged this. I come here to exchange comments. Seeing others here in the comment sections and browsing the feed would be communally cool. commented: Our IRC channel is quite active and a good place to befriend people. There are also splinter channels. :) But yes... Actually showing the garden party would be <3 commented: Ive seen something similar years ago on a flash site and been wondering ever since what a nice subtle way is to add some sign of life from other visitors. Love this! commented: Comment removed by author .
