Welcome to BNRP BBS!
This is the forum for our roleplay server, MMBNRP. If you've somehow stumbled on this via the internet, how did you get here?
The same rules as the original server apply here. Below is an FAQ about the new forum!
Why are we on a forum now?
Because of Discord's recent decision to enforce ID verification, and my concerns about privacy and agency on the internet, I have decided to begin moving my Discord usage elsewhere. I've owned BNRP as a server for years now, and feel comfortable with our roleplay moving off of the platform.
What forum is this? How did you do this?
This is a NodeBB Forum hosted on personal-terminal, my Proxmox machine! The link you access the forum with is a Tailscale Funnel, which explains the domain name. This allows me to easily and safely serve the forum without exposing all of my self hosted services to the internet.
YOU'RE the host? What does that mean for my data?
Don't put stuff on here you wouldn't want me to see! That being said, I have zero interest in nosing around. This is a forum for roleplaying and not much else. This also means that your data lives on a Dell Optiplex in my bedroom and not in the hands of some LLM-ridden big-box server in a water-sucking data farm. So there's that bonus.
What about uptime? Will we always have access to this? How can you be sure???
I'll be hosting this as long as we use it. I have a backup strategy that I have faith in, but do not rely on me for backups. If you love your threads, please make your own backups of them. I cannot guarantee 100% uptime or perfect services, because I run this in my free time. Maintenance time will be communicated long ahead of time.
I have more questions!
Well, you know where to find me.
