Terms of service.
pipe is operated by Secure Data Research, LLC and provided as-is, with no warranty and no uptime guarantee.
The rules.
Don't use pipe for anything unlawful, don't spam it, and don't attack it or its users. Nicks and content that abuse the network may be removed and accounts revoked, at the operator's discretion.
Flux.
Flux is a play economy inside the service. It has no monetary value, can't be bought or sold, and may be rebalanced or reset as the service evolves.
Public means public.
The board and lobbies are public, plaintext spaces. Treat everything you post there as published. What stays private, and how, is on the privacy page and the security page.
