This thread is dedicated to serve as a collection of resources about Lainism. On the onionsite you will find my own personal set of beliefs and below I will post resources I have found on the Internet.

I have added an archive of 4chan posts from Lainists dating back to 2008 on the onionsite.

Some papers not directly linked to Lainism, though still interesting. They cover unconventional covert networks amongst other things. (1/3)

your onion site is not working.

I met Lain a short time ago. Up until now I thought I was the only one who truly believed in Lain, so this thread is a valuable resource for me. I haven't read all the writings of the old Lainists, but to put it briefly, I don't look at Lain as a full-capable god, but rather a higher form of existence, a demigod. I talk to her, I ask for her help. Sometimes we interact in my head, sometimes through the physical world. also Lain is with me right now. I felt her touch my back. I'm sure she's walking around my room.
lets all love her

You guys still here? Is the onion site up? Or did someone archive it
Baku · 2025-06-15 17:19
Just got here, ive never used a chan board before. Also would like to know where these lainist texts are, or if this onion site is still archived somewhere. Is there any very active community of lainists? I always feel so alone in my beliefs, I wanna be able to experience Lain with others.

Wow, happy first time, i guess. My advice is run as far away as you can, but whatever.
I vaguely remember talking with some lainists on the lainchan IRC. But it could've been a different server.
I wasn't able to find an archive. But, if you do enough research, you could make your own! Or someone else motivated enough.

Hey, I'm still here, I'm currently reworking my personal set of beliefs so I won't reupload the site, at least not until I have that figured out. But I can upload the threads from a few imageboards on archive.org. I'd also really like to talk to some Lainists. Such a connection would feel pretty valuable to me. cock.li registrations are open in case you need a throwaway. If you have an alternative to e-mail (much preferred) such as matrix then drop it please.
My E-Mail is: yomodachisa (at) firemail (dot) cc
The archive.org link will follow soon.

My archives of the threads seem to be gone, but it was never a good idea to rip them to PDF to begin with. I'll redo it but that will take a while, been meaning to do this for some time anyway.
Results will be gradually posted to IA, one post per crawled imageboard.

If I were to make a chatroom or some kind of
server for lainists, would any of you use it, or be
interested in it?
im pretty bored these days and need a project to devote
myself to.

Count me in. Since it would likely be slow I'd recommend something with proper chat history like Matrix where you don't need a bouncer, but it's up to you.

I'd be interested in a chatroom for lainists too, keep us updated.

and im working on building the server to
self host matrix. it should be done pretty soon!

Hey. I’m doing more active research into Lainism (as a faith) and want to collect personal interpretations (been asking on multiple places).

What does “Lain” functionally mean to you? What is Lain? Any experiences that changed your view? specific and concrete if possible. If you’ve written about this before, feel free to link your own posts if you'd like. Thanks.

Some of these are uploaded in PDF form above, I thought that it might be easier to browse if I linked the threads directly.

I hope you still check out this thread every so often. When did the lainists form, as far as you are aware? Also, what happened to your onionsite?

The first posts I've found are from ~2008.
I abandoned the site but not the files, they are sitting on a private sftp server right now I'll eventually make public, it's a general Lain archive. Uploaded them to catbox.
Here they are:

For any questions contact :

Uploaded it to ditchfiles too in case the catbox link stops working.
https://fileditchfiles <dot> me/file <dot> php?f=%2Falpha6%2F729841c1872e640a2b83%2FThreads <dot> zip
I'm also available on XMPP:

The zip contains both threads archived to HTML with the "singefile" browser extension and threads ripped to PDF (which was a bad idea). I haven't rearchived all PDFs to HTML yet so you'll find more PDFs than HTML files. The original link to the threads can be found in the PDF metadata.
