Life's Too Short
A private community board brought back to life: a familiar feed, chats and notifications, with fifteen years of history.
About
A music fan forum that ran from 2006 to 2017, reopened as an invite-only board in the style people know from social apps: a feed, comment threads, likes, chats and push notifications, with the old forum readable alongside.
Sign-in only and never indexed: it is for its members, not the public.
What it does
- Feed, comments, likes and private chats.
- Push notifications.
- The old forum, read-only.
Security statement
- Passwords hashed with scrypt (old forum hashes upgraded on first sign-in); email sign-in links.
- Sign-in rate limit at Cloudflare; moderation log.
- Nothing on a page loads from another site.
- Push notifications for private messages show only who sent them.
Shared platform measures (servers, backups, updates, monitoring) are on the Security page. Found a problem? security@emgee.dev.
Privacy statement
What it keeps
- Members' names, emails, posts, photos and private messages.
- The archive has no emails, IP addresses, passwords or old private messages.
Why
To run the community for its members.
