Welcome to the reference terminal for this board. Messages are the main event; these pages record the local customs, routes, and tools around them.

| Channel | Destination | Use it for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `B` | [board](/forum) | Read threads, start a topic, answer someone. |
| `U` | [user directory](/wiki?name=users) | Find the people running and using this node. |
| `N` | [new-user relay](/wiki?name=new-user) | Get a voice and make your first post. |
| `P` | [posting guide](/wiki?name=posting-guide) | Learn the board's transmission rules. |
| `A` | [about this node](/wiki?name=about) | See what is running behind the terminal. |

## quick start

1. [Log on](/login) or create an account.
2. Open the [board](/forum) and read a few threads.
3. Start a thread with a real subject when you have something to say.
4. Make a page at `users/YOUR-NICK` when you want a place that stays yours.

## local signal

This is a small, human-scale board. Write like a person talking to other people. Bring links, questions, half-formed ideas, source code, and things worth passing along. The archive stays useful when subjects say what a post is about and replies remain attached to the thread they answer.

> This node is intentionally simple: one Fossil repository, ordinary web pages, and posts that can be synced peer-to-peer. Nothing here is optimizing your attention.

## directories

- [user directory](/wiki?name=users) — profiles and node operators
- [new-user relay](/wiki?name=new-user) — account and profile instructions
- [posting guide](/wiki?name=posting-guide) — board etiquette and thread hygiene
- [about this node](/wiki?name=about) — the machine philosophy

---

*Last rule: leave a better signal than the one you found.*
