LANified! HUB

But BloodyIron, what do I need to know?

Here are some things you need to know:

  1. Do not expect privacy at all on LANified! HUB. We do NOT sell data from LANified! HUB and we don't even plan to sell data from LANified! HUB. But at the same time we need to see and know everything going on so we can keep it a safe and working environment for everyone. We have 100% access to everything, no exceptions.
  2. You will need a LANified! Account to use LANified! HUB, but if you're planning on attending our events, you will need a LANified! Account anyways.
  3. If you have any problems please let us know in the General or Help channels, or on our Feedback & Help page.
  4. As of Sept 19 2025, we only offer the web experience for LANified! HUB to the public. We are planning on rolling out Desktop and maybe Mobile clients in the future, but exactly when is uncertain.
  5. You cannot create rooms, and no we will not let you create rooms. This is intentional and by design so that we have actually useful rooms and not and endless supply of dead rooms like we see constantly on Discord.
    1. We will only create more rooms when we see it is actually going to be worth it. Most of the time it will not be worth it.
  6. There are multiple gif and sticker tools baked-in
    1. !giphy blah, will search for "blah" and paste a random relevant gif in chat
    2. Clicking/Tapping on the three dots in the bottom right of your message field shows "Sticker"/"Voice Message"/"Poll"/"Location", then go to "Sticker" and you can pick from our Sticker Packs or click on the Giphy icon to search and then pick from gif results.
  7. The "Location" function does not currently work but we want to have that working in the not-too-distant-future.
  8. If you're not sure where to post something on LANified! HUB, either ask in Help or General. Chances are posting in General is the place, but often times it is better to ask first.
  9. HATE SPEECH, PREJUDICIAL MESSAGES OF ANY FORM, ABUSIVE LANGUAGE TO STAFF, AND OTHER FORMS OF ABUSE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. LANified! HUB is part of how we connect gamers, this kind of behaviour directly interferes with that. We can and will clarify where need be for this aspect, but chances are, if you need us to clarify then it is probably a violation of this rule. Either way ask FIRST. Gamers/Users that repeatedly violate this rule will PROBABLY have their entire LANified! Account disabled and all event tickets REVOKED WITHOUT REFUND. This is not the full extent of how we may respond and we reserve the rights to escallate responses further where we see fit, which may include legal action.
  10. All rooms have Video/Voice meeting capabilities, we welcome you to use them regularly and we're hoping this will be more useful over time, including for Tournament purposes.
  11. During our events we plan to use multiple channels for useful stuff, such as the Tournaments, Announcements, and Team Building channels. However we may use the same channels between events.
  12. If at any time you feel unsafe while using LANified! HUB please let us know IMMEDIATELY so we can try to do something to help you.

But BloodyIron, I have questions!

Here are some common questions and answers:

  1. Why not just use Discord?
    1. Discord limits us in many ways and we feel we can build a better experience in other ways. We cannot self-host Discord so we cannot solve any technical problems Discord might have, whereas we can immediately and directly solve problems with the technologies running LANified! HUB, often in seconds. Discord enforces their own Terms of Service which we have zero control over and this limits how we can operate as a business in ways that conflicts with the direction we are heading. Discord can change how it works at any time in ways we have zero control over, and this limits our options to unacceptable degrees. It is commonplace in Discord groups to have many unused channels and sections, and we feel this causes more problems than it "solves". Generally Discord doesn't work for how we at LANified! want to work.
  2. Why can't I change my Avatar/Logo/Image?
    1. For the time being LANified! HUB does not pull your user Avatar/Logo/Image from the LANified! Accounts ecosystem. In the not-too-distant future we will be extending the LANified! Accounts ecosystem to enable LANified! HUB to update your user Avatar/Logo/Image based on what is set in your LANified! Account (in the self-serve management tool). We were not able to get this particular functionality ready in-time before taking LANified! HUB into Public Beta. Our goal is for the LANified! Accounts self-serve tool to be where you set your user Avatar/Logo/Image and other systems to pull from that.
  3. Is LANified! HUB Secure?
    1. While you should not expect privacy on LANified! HUB, you should expect high-grade security. We have already implemented industry leading IT Security practices at every step of the ecosystem. No IT System can be made invulnerable, however we are committed to the IT Security of LANified! HUB and related aspects always.
  4. Is LANified! HUB a replacement for Discord?
    1. Probably not, this is mostly a decision for you to make. We have not architected or planned for LANified! HUB to replace Discord as we have completely different goals from Discord. We want LANified! HUB to be useful for those who are interested in LANified! Gaming & Events but in ways that we think are better than what Discord could do.
  5. Is BloodyIron really that awesome?
    1. Yes.
  6. How much Hexidecimal must one have?
    1. Half.
  7. Main screen turn on.
    1. It's you!
