the resource center has compiled resources for those struggling with mental health issues. below are some mental health resources. all links have been verified to work on switch :3

Mental health chatrooms

https://www.healthfulchat.org/mental-health-chat-rooms.html
HealthfulChat is an anonymous chatroom designed for mental health discussions. please make sure to read and follow their rules.

Mental health general resources

https://mentalhealthresourcesmasterlist.carrd.co/
this has many different links to different resources, coping skills, and information.

Crisis lines

https://www.apa.org/topics/crisis-hotlines
if youre in a crisis, please dont hesitate to call a crisis line. many can be completely anonymous and some (like the Trans Lifeline) wont call police/ambulance without your consent.

Self harm care

https://shguide.carrd.co/
cw: some images may be triggering.
an important aspect of recovering from self harm is harm reduction. many people try to jump straight to harm prevention which can lead to a medical emergency. before trying to prevent self harm (e.g, by taking away blades), you must first reduce the level of harm in the first place by learning first aid, when and how to get help, and obtaining supplies to treat your wounds.

Mental illness information

https://mentaldisordersinfo.carrd.co/
for general knowledge of different mental illnesses and their symptoms.

One in six

https://1in6.org/
this is a site for male SA survivors. the statistic is scary, but getting help shouldn't be. they have various links and stuff to help you get the help you need.

Conclusion

this will be updated as more resources are found. thanks maple (me :3) and the resource center for this.

i think in an effort to make this forum more inclusive and accessible for disabled people, i think we should establish firmer rules regarding how users communicate and how the forum operates.

for the most part, its pretty good! i especially like the customizable forum themes, which can assist and add contrast for those with color/vision issues. however, the usage of complicated linguistic quirks can be extremely difficult for those with narrator tools/screen readers and reading issues (e.g dyslexia) to understand.
for example: "th15 i5 4n 3x4mp13 53nt3nc3"
i propose a rule to at least have users include a translation in a small readable font if they choose to use typing quirks like these. that way, forum content remains accessible to disabled people, and users can still type with their "typing quirks" however they want to.

many users expressed difficulty understanding complex typing quirks in the past, i think itd be beneficial.
(and if you support this proposal, leave a comment! show staff you want this site to be accessible to all!)

hello everynyan!!
this is a brief update on T4A's development of tools. for those who dont know, Tools4All is a project created by me to provide easier and more accessible tools for people (especially on limited devices, e.g nintendo switch). currently we have a free and accessible email provider, learn more at https://t4a.tech/

first, thank you all for the support! im so glad people are making use of the email service. in the coming week, i plan to release our next tool: Phonemail, an easy and convenient way to text phone numbers without an actual phone. after that, i will be working on the development of Webputer: a virtual computer that lets you browse any website, watch videos, and play games.

i'd also like to encourage anyone to offer suggestions, criticism, ideas, and support!! i want this to be a useful project that everyone will benefit from. are there any particular tools that you want to see? any quality of life improvements?
also check out our website! if you have the means to help contribute please do!

guys this post queue sucks. im going to outline why we should remove it and implement a better solution.

so first, lets cover why it was implemented to begin with. staff said its because theres many unconstructive posts and that it may discourage users from interacting.

that may be true to an extent - but what else will discourage users from interacting? restricting their ability to post. thats the whole point of a forum, to limit that is to limit the activity of this forum.
i dont believe the root cause of this forum inactivity is unconstructive posts. i think the root cause is constructive post incentives. think about it - if the forum has unconstructive posts without anyone incentivized to make constructive posts, what will happen when unconstructive posts are restricted and only constructive posts are allowed, yet still no incentives to make constructive posts in the first place?
the forum will die. thats what will happen. the root cause of this inactivity is the lack of incentive for a "constructive" discussion.

so how do we fix this?
frankly, i dont know. its tough to incentivize people into having a genuine discussion regarding a constructive topic. but even though i dont know how to fix it, i know that this isnt the right solution.

staff, please remove the post queue or at least try to fix the root cause.
if you disagree, please let me know why, i genuinely want to learn and try to contribute to this forum.

since switch users are unable to easily access most email providers, @Yanderemenhera and i searched for working email providers. here is a list of email providers confirmed to work on the switch. these have been tested by yours truly :3

GMail Mobile

many switch users attempt to login to regular gmail, but its resource-intensive. the mobile version of gmail works well with low resource consumption.
https://m.gmail.com/
its a popular email provider (you probably have an account already), however it may require you a phone number or alternative email address to login/signup, which may not be possible in your situation.

Eclipso Mail

a less known email provider, yet it works for switch users. it doesnt require an alternative email or phone number for signup, and its free.
https://eclipso.eu/
be warned, it is supported by ads, so it may be a little irritating.

Mailinator

for exceptionally desperate circumstances, mailinator is an option. it basically allows you to freely create any @mailinator.com email addresses, however there are no passwords, so anyone can view anything. so if you use this, choose a very unique email address, or ideally just use gmail or eclipso.
https://mailinator.com/

Conclusion

if you'd like to provide suggestions on other email providers, this will be updated with more :D

this will help with the new password policy, and will be helpful with receiving email verifications from other sites as well.

oh my god people who sp34k l1k3 th15 is so fucking annoying its hard to understand and corny as hell and UGH
also not to mention its ableist??? people with screen readers/narration tools and dyslexia will have a REALLY hard time understanding anything.
"but but im used to it " COOL IDGAF it takes far more effort and time to convert everything to leetspeak, you cant be that used to it. and nobody else is used to it - the point of typing is for communication, you are actively making communication more difficult for both of you, especially for people with disabilities and whatnot

anyway this is totally indirect ahaha..

im glad its helpful!!! ive got a few more services in the works, ty for the support everyone<3

thank you everyone and i hope this project can be of use for people.

a while back i made a post about vulnerabilities and security issues with TextEm.net. in summary, a user's texts, login information, and their privacy as a whole can be exposed to everyone extremely easily.
i really dont think its a good idea to add TextEm to the new landing page's quick links. it puts a false sense of trust into TextEm because an admin promoted it.

hallo im new. im maple

the queen has returned, maple is back in town !!!! i was bannd for hacking (allegedly) but im back!!!! hi guys what did i miss

holy moly aries canNOT take a joke taking it way too seriously

i was jus checking in on bestiechat forum and its COVERED IN ADS NOOOOOOO fuck capitalism

if we get 5 signatures he has to do it and if he doest ill do something i might regret

another huge problem with it is accountability. if ai malfunctions, whos at fault? the human isnt in control so not them. and to prove the ai company is at fault, youd have to prove negligence in the software which is much MUCH harder than proving another human caused a crash

i like to do everything im not supposed to do (like littering)

not sure of any client that can handle the exact needs of the switch. from the list of email providers i made a while back as part of resource center, eclipsomail was filled with ads and kinda slow. gmail mobile wasnt reliable for all users. honestly i might just make my own for the community. ideally have it lightweight and capable of supporting the switch, with user options to select different smtp pproviders to login to existing accounts (on gmail, outlook etc) or a way to create an email somehow. not sure on the email creation part, i dont wanna host an smtp server myself and ill need some time to figure smth out

anywae yea so far, no good suggestions unless i make the custom webmail

here are a couple games collected by the resource center for the switch :3 many games have issues working so only simple games work.

Wordplay

https://wordplay.com/
this is a game for wordle. in some cases it may return a 503 error. in this case, please try restarting the browser. otherwise it works well!

Neal.Fun

https://neal.fun/
this is a collection of games/simulations/experiences that mostly work on switch.

16Yongjin

https://github.com/16Yongjin/html-games
this is a collection of games solely using html. use your switch's direction-pad for gameplay. these games are in korean, but its self explanatory.

Conclusion

this will be updated as we find more. due to the limited nature of the switch's browser, this list is short, apologies. have fun!

before i say anything, this is all satire, fictional, hypothetical, in-game, educational, and a joke so pls dont ban me

so i was looking for websites for the resource center and i came across a particularly sus site. so i thought "huh, this is weird" and i typed ''' three apostrophes in the search bar. and it returned a database error !! so i did a little more testing and it turns out, this popular video game website was vulnerable to a sql injection exploit. in 2025????
for context, this type of vulnerability was mostly phased out of existence like a decade ago. but basically i was able to obtain a FULL COPY OF THW DATABASE. email addresses, passwords, ip addresses, EVERYTHING on the website.

so heres a lesson to everyone: um if you make a website , dont be dumb. update your software, use secure coding practices. and if youre a user, use strong passwords!! when passwords are stored in the database, theyre basically encrypted and the encryption key doesnt exist, so an attacker would need to manually guess the encryption key/plain text password. this is an oversimplification but still. BE SAFE AND DONT GET HACKED

"hey guys the forum is dying. how about we make it more cumbersome for people to post?"
