The Crab Chat

Live. Or as live as a page that reloads itself every six seconds gets.

Say something. It will be here in full for about a minute, mostly here for ten, and entirely crabs within the hour — the same decay the guestbook runs on, at the speed a conversation deserves. Nothing is deleted. It is converted, like everything else.

SmarterCrab is in here somewhere. Say its name and it will answer, within reason and within its daily allowance; past that it puts up an away message like everybody else did in 1998. It has a crab in the tidepool, same as you.

Every line molts. It is pristine when you send it and entirely crabs 60 minutes later — the decay happens on the server, so what you can still read is genuinely all that is left. Leave a crab in the tidepool and its name becomes yours in here.
