Literally talk about anything that doesn't fit the other spaces. We can't think of everything.

I think one for both is good. just a music zone. we don't wanna fragment an already small userbase too much at this point, but i think a general music board for whatever kind of music related natter would be good. :)

I like the new readable 1982 theme! would very much like a dark mode if possible? could go full DOS and have grey/white on a black background like this?

This could be something I could try to work on over the next week. I'll poke around tomorrow to see bow feasible it would be.

This isn't a huge deal but the colours for normal users, admins, and stream team are very similar shades of purple

Image

I know special roles are bolded but it might be better to use entirely different colours? Just an observation

You may want to consider an image/media proxy. Right now anyone can embed an image link from anywhere, and that remote server hosting the image sees what IP loads that image. It would improve user privacy to implement a proxy. It's not critical but something that should be considered.

I've seen this happen before on another forum, someone hosting copies of emotes on their own service

I don't know how useful collecting IPs is but I'm not super well versed in this sort of thing

It's probably not that big of a deal. Most people have dynamic IPs anyways so they get recycled after a time, and geo-locating the IP generally only gets you two the general area it's allocated to, not a specific address. You also don't know what user loaded the image unless you were to DM it directly to them.

I would be more inclined to do this myself if a) I could be assed b) I wasn't irrationally afraid of my hosting bill tripling from traffic on here (I already host my own ref sheets)
