Cyberdiner Cafè

Mixed in amongst the countless and ever-growing collection of forums hooked up the Grid, the Cyberdiner Cafè is distinguished by being one of the much, much smaller number outfitted for full immersion as well the more simplistic keyboard/monitor interface.

While people using antiquated operating systems will see no more than a normal message board, virtual world users are greeted by a thriving, ever-shifting nightclub. Synth-tunes, music that isn't just heard but experienced with all five senses booms through the bar, a different tune for each person listening. The decor is nonexistent, just blank white walls, chairs, tables, but with easily downloaded tilesets it can be changed to anything from a wild west saloon to futuristic punk-rock club.

The 'drinks' for order include programs designed to simulate the taste and effects of normal booze, but also far more exotic fare like pure synthetic happiness, memories, even tiny virtual worlds in a bottle.

Mostly though, people come here to talk. It is a forum after all.
