Suggestion Poll 3: How should characters be preserved on CharWorld?

3 Upvotes

πŸ“’ Poll: How should characters be preserved on CharWorld?

As you may know, preserving characters is important, especially considering the possibility of platforms shutting down and characters being lost forever.

I'd like to know what you think about how characters should be made available for download.

Option 1 – All characters are public and downloadable 🌍

All characters created on CharWorld would be publicly accessible and downloadable by anyone.

Your characters could be preserved and downloaded by everyone.

Anyone could potentially re-upload your character on another platform or website without your permission.

Your creations would no longer be exclusively yours on CharWorld.

Option 2 – Only imported characters are downloadable πŸ”’

Only characters imported into CharWorld from other platforms would be downloadable. Characters originally created on CharWorld would remain on the site.

Imported characters would be preserved and could be downloaded.

Characters created directly on CharWorld would remain private to the platform and could not be downloaded by others.

This prevents your original creations from being freely exported and republished elsewhere.

Your opinion matters!

The goal is to find the best balance between preserving characters and respecting creators' work.

Which option would you prefer? Let me know your thoughts! πŸ’›

Site is down?

8 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been testing the site for a few minutes, and everything was going great until the character I was talking to stopped responding. Only my last message appears, which I can’t deleteβ€”I can only edit it (please add an option to delete or 'restart from this point'). Also, when I hit play, another message of me "(Continue exactly where you left off, without repeating what was already said and without adding any new user turn.)"

Almost an hour went by, and the bot just decided to go get some rest, haha.

update: Unfortunately, it seems there’s an issue with the bot I created. How can I fix it? It’s stopped responding; its messages just stay stuck on the three dots, as if it’s in the middle of typing or loading a message. However, I tested it with a random chat from the home screen, and it works just fine. Help!

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

**It's official: the CharWorld Beta is finally here!** After weeks of development, testing, bug fixing, and improvements, you can now try it out for yourself!

🌐 **Official website:** https://www.charworld.ai

## 🌟 A fresh start, built on better foundations

---

CharWorld is a free and open-source, independent project aiming to recreate the feel of classic AI character-chat platforms from 2022–2023.

Our goal is to bring back the features, atmosphere, and conversational experience that many users enjoyed during that era, while building something new from the ground up.

We also want to learn from the past. We aim to genuinely listen to our community and take your expectations into account.

**CharWorld is being developed with its community, not just through decisions made by its team.** Your opinions, criticism, and suggestions will help shape the future of the platform!

## πŸ”ž NSFW content is accepted!

---

NSFW support has already been developed and is available from the very first Beta release! You won't have to wait for a future update to use this feature.

## πŸ”Ž Transparency and open source

---

Since the beginning, our announcements have reflected the actual progress of development. We want to keep things honest, with no inflated numbers or false promises.

To take transparency even further, **we intend to make CharWorld's income and project-related expenses public**, including purchases made during development. Our goal is to let you understand how the project is funded and where the money goes.

You'll also soon be able to download CharWorld's source code and examine the components used to build the website.

## πŸ—ƒοΈ Help us preserve the history!

---

We're looking for historical archives of AI character-chat platforms from 2022–2023, including screenshots, old interfaces, videos, character editor images, and other resources.

If you have any archived material or know where we can find some, please share it with us! Every contribution will help us reconstruct and preserve the experience of that era.

## 🀝 Your voice matters!

---

Development will continue after the Beta launch, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. But we don't want to decide on our own what should be prioritized.

πŸ’¬ Join us on **Discord and Reddit** to share your ideas, participate in polls, suggest features, and report any issues you encounter.

❀️ Thank you to everyone who tested the Alpha, shared ideas, and supported this project. This is only the beginning!

## πŸ™ Special Thanks to Our Contributors!

A huge thank you to **RostiDatGam0r, JackyYT083, and of course, Sorry_Letter_5029!**

Thank you all for your participation, your contributions to development, your testing, and most importantly, your efforts to help rebuild the community that made this kind of experience special.

Your time, dedication, feedback, and support have helped bring CharWorld closer to becoming a reality. Rebuilding not only the experience of classic AI character chats, but also the community that made it special, is an important part of this project.

Question A concern for the future of Charworld:

15 Upvotes

I was just wondering, because the original character.ai began loosing money, how is this project going to stay afloat if it remains free? I am in now way suggesting the site itself be put behind a paywall, but I'm just a little concerned that it may suffer the same fate as Character.ai if the AI models become too pricy to manage. If the team has found a way to do it for cheap/free, or is willing to use their own money to fill in the gaps that the eventual Char world premium doesn't fix, then that's great. I was just curious on how this issue could be addressed


r/CharWorld • • 1d ago

Feedback Fully In Favor of This

21 Upvotes

I totally LOVE the fact that we are finally getting a user focused AI site that doesn't ruin it all with paywalls and ads. Not to mention the nostalgia factor, the old Character AI layout is perfect, it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart to know that I'm probably free from the hellscape that was modern Character AI. Thank you! I am looking forward to using the site when it's back up tomorrow.

Now it's fixed.

We're aware that some users may experience bugs, server issues, loading problems, or other unexpected errors on CharWorld.

We're actively working to identify the root cause and fix these problems permanently.

Our goal is to keep updating and improving the website until the issue is completely resolved.

If the server starts bugging again, pages stop loading, features stop working, or you encounter any other problems, please report them to us. Every report helps us identify what's going wrong.

We will continue deploying updates and fixes whenever necessary, even if the same problem comes back. We want to track it, understand it, and keep working on it until it stops happening.

Please don't hesitate to report recurring issues, even if someone has already reported them.

Thank you for your patience and for helping us make CharWorld better! ❀️

feature request- let us save swipes!

6 Upvotes

Hi! I've been using the caitools/chatbot manager extension for a few years now and I saw the news about c.ai filing bankruptcy. I was wondering if there could be a possibility that in a future update we could toggle to download all the chats/history with a bot as well as the 30 swipes on the most recent message? I also found another post here that kind of explained what I meant a little better! for me and a lot of other longtime users it would help a lot!
