This is super awesome! Cheers from the Discord team here! :) EDIT: One bug, it lets you try to DM invites to other bots on the server. We don't let bots DM bots on an API level :O

This kind of positive attitude on social media is probably a very cost-effective form of PR (That doesn't make it a bad thing, just an observation)

Thank you! Our users (and our team, for that matter) love Discord as well.

About the bot DMing, that could explain some of the errors we've been seeing - thanks for the tip. Taking a look now.

Cheers, also check out our rich embeds stuff, which could make the bot's messages it posts into Discord look a lot more awesome: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#emb...

Agreed - we've actually just started on these recently. Forum posts and events now have the rich embeds; we're planning on bringing them to the rest of the content soon.

Sounds great on paper, but I am in 25+ discord servers, of which many used by official game communities on reddit, overwatch teams and league of legends - and none are using guilded or integrate with - why is that? They seem to fit the agenda pretty well, because of their members' needs:

- They need organizing

- They share a lot of media

- They have community nights/events

- They have tons of bots to do this or that (in a microservice fashion) that could be phased out by one "rule'em all" bot

Official game communities are an interesting category that we haven't explored or reached out to much yet. That's a great idea though, and I think it makes a lot of sense to think about doing that more.

Our bot is in ~26k servers right now, and the vast majority are mid-sized teams, in the 6-250 person range. I think our tools would be great for larger communities, and I think the needs would be pretty similar - but we haven't explored that too much yet.

I see - so you're basically focusing on smaller "organizations" and "amateur teams" I guess? Kind of like, I find 5 friends to play Overwatch, I invite them to a new server and your bot handles all our stuff, like an assistant/office manager in a small office? Then I think some kind of integration with ESL/FaceIT/toornament and all these other online leagues/tourney platforms would be dope to have...I guess.
