Lunarys was an SCP: Secret Laboratory community established on December 23, 2019 as a migration away from another community.[1] It was shut down on December 20, 2022 to rebrand itself as LunarysX.[2] This was following a 10-month period of inactivity after leadership of the community was transferred away on March 17, 2022.[3]
Structure
Governance
The community made use of a non-linear rank structure, where each service had an isolated hierarchy of staff, wherein the highest-ranking members of each hierarchy reported to a group of individuals that jointly acted as the community's owners. The top of each hierarchy had administrators, with each service typically having 1-3 of them at any given time, who jointly decided what happened to the service. Administrators reported to super administrators, a group comprised of 4 members at its apex. The super administrators made decisions that effected the larger community and oversaw the work of the administrators.
Below administrators were senior moderators, who were primarily charged with training moderators. Moderators were tasked with the duties typically expected of a moderator for an online service.
A position known as senior administrator also existed, which acted as a managerial role for administrators that reported directly to the super administrators. It was discontinued after 4 months.[4]
At the community's inception it was originally intended that the rank structure would be more linear, where administrators would jointly be responsible for managing all services provided simultaneously. The outcome of an internal poll sent to the staff team in February of 2020 showed that the administrators were dissatisfied with that decision, resulting in the structure described above.[4]
Infrastructure
The community hosted a variety of services using a virtual private server rented from the company NFO Servers. The monthly cost was $50 USD. The specifications were 8 virtual CPU cores, 8.1 gigabytes of RAM, 500 gigabytes of storage, and 4.8 terabytes of file transfer bandwidth.[5]
The services hosted included:
- 4 SCP: Secret Laboratory servers running simultaneously
- A website
- Various Discord bots
- A Minecraft server
- A Garry's Mod server
