I'm very confused by the site, is it just people posting fake conversations?

These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations... before social media really perfected the art.

Pretty sure it was supposed to be funny chatroom logs?

The joke was that if you typed your password into chat, then chat would add ***** for everyone else but still show you your own password.

So for instance if I type my password out ******** it will show as just *s to you because it's auto censored by the system since it's my password. But it wont censor it for me since it knows that I already know my own password. You can test it by typing out your password. You'll see your own password but everyone else will just see *'s
