Our Origins
eStimStation began its life in 2019 as a virtual location inside SecondLife, a 3D online sandbox world. Sir Thorn built an in-world space station where avatars could tune their real power boxes into the parcel's 'radio' signal — the earliest incarnation of what would become StimBot — and roleplay in the virtual space together.
In 2021 the concept evolved into a dedicated Discord server with a single goal: to build the best and safest home for the e-stim hobby online — one where newcomers felt welcome, experienced players had the tools they needed, and safety was never an afterthought.
Over the years, the station grew from a small enthusiast hangout into the most active and feature-complete e-stim community on Discord, with a 24/7 stimbot, weekly live events, an interactive Arcade channel, and a dedicated moderation team keeping things running around the clock.
From the Captain's Desk
The Mission
When I founded eStimStation, the goal was simple: create a modern, all-in-one replacement for the scattered combination of Skype and Jitsi rooms the community was using. I knew Discord was the perfect platform to build a stable, feature-rich home for the hobby. It's been a challenging but rewarding five years of moderating, managing the tech like our stimbots and e l e c t r o n instance, and fostering the community, but it has been worth it.
My Journey
I've been part of the BDSM community since 1998, always gravitating toward the Dom/top role. My journey into e-stim began around 2009 at a Blackpool Pride festival, where I picked up a starter kit from an E-Stim Systems booth. I had read about it in novels, but my first HFO happened completely by accident—fumbling with the box, I adjusted the 'feel' knob and discovered the key to a whole new world of pleasure.
The Community
What I love most about the Station is having everyone in one dedicated space where they can safely connect, play, and explore. I'm passionate about implementing the latest technology to improve our shared experiences and enjoy interacting with everyone, from seasoned e-stim veterans to curious newcomers finding their signal for the first time.
Station Logs: A History
Key milestones and feature launches from our archives.
2019–2020: The Virtual Station
2019: Sir Thorn founds eStimStation as a virtual location in SecondLife, a 3D online sandbox. An in-world space station is built where avatars can gather, move through the virtual environment, and tune their real power boxes into the parcel's 'radio' signal — the earliest version of what would become StimBot.
2020: Sir Thorn implements a Jitsi room plugin system to display real-life camera feeds inside SecondLife, blending the virtual space station with real-world sessions for the first time.
2021: The Genesis
March: eStimStation is founded. In its first month, it launches key features like self-assignable roles, temporary and private voice channels, and an integrated translation bot.
April: The concept of the 24/7 "Auto Driving" stimbot is born, running on MP3 files submitted by the community. Instructions are pinned explaining how to route Discord's audio output to a power box.
May: The first Ko-fi fundraiser is launched to help cover the monthly server costs for the 24/7 stimbot. DM preference roles are added to respect user privacy.
August: The original stimbot, Groovy, is shut down due to legal issues with YouTube. It is quickly replaced with the Hydra music bot to ensure uninterrupted service.
September: The server is boosted to Level 1, unlocking 128Kbps audio quality for a better signal from the stimbots and clearer voice chat.
October-December: The server is reorganized, and a simple, one-click age-verification system is added for new members. The weekly "Sunday Drive" is formalized as a recurring community event.
2022: Refinement and Growth
January: The server weathers its first major phishing bot attack and responds by adding a dedicated anti-phishing bot to protect members.
February: To improve the user experience in cam rooms, the `@VC Ping` role is created for notifications, along with an `@In-A-VC` role that appears at the top of the user list for at-a-glance visibility.
July: The popular Sunday Drive events return, and the server adopts Discord's new "Text Chat in Voice Channels" feature to improve communication during sessions.
September: After another phishing attempt, security is enhanced across the server. The stimbot's library grows to over 16 hours of content from talented community contributors.
2023: Overcoming Adversity
February: The server faces another external crisis as the Hydra music bots are shut down due to legal action. A new solution, LunaBot, is quickly found and implemented to keep the 24/7 signal alive, though at an increased running cost.
May: The station steps up to host and support the essential `E L E C T R O N` driving software after its previous host went down.
June: The first official website and Twitter account are launched.
July: The server's instance of the e l e c t r o n software is given a permanent home at `electron.estimstation.com` and a promise is made to keep it free for everyone, forever.
November: A crucial safety policy is implemented, prohibiting content showing stimulation across the chest, based on professional consultation regarding potential health risks.
2024: Upgrades and Community Focus
May-June: A new, more cost-effective stimbot, Stimbot 3.2, is introduced by a community member and becomes the sole auto-driving bot. The mandatory "cams on" rule is officially lifted from auto-driving channels.
August: The community celebrates a major milestone: the 100th Sunday Drive event. The moderation team is expanded and officially named the "StimStation Engineers".
2025: Expansion & Upgrades
July: Stimbot is rewritten from scratch as v3.0, adding features like vote-to-skip and pausing when the channel is empty. Access to the extensive Porn category becomes opt-in via a "Library Card" role, cleaning up the channel list for new users. The station's instance of e l e c t r o n is upgraded with major features like pause, stop, and scrubbing through sessions.
August: A new gaming-focused voice channel, "The Arcade", launches — bringing live, game-driven e-stim sessions to the station for the first time.
September–December: The Sunday Drive archive surpasses 150 episodes. The official eStimStation merchandise store launches on Fourthwall, offering shirts, mugs, hats, mousepads, and more — with every purchase supporting server operations. The website is significantly expanded with new guides covering The Arcade, gear setup, and community FAQ entries drawn from five years of member questions.
2026: Ongoing
The Sunday Drive continues weekly, the 24/7 Stimbot keeps running, and the community keeps growing. eStimStation remains the most active and feature-complete e-stim community on Discord. If you're reading this and haven't joined yet — what are you waiting for?
