Creation[]
The current Discord Server was created on February 6, 2018, replacing the original 2017 server as the latter still had Codey, a former Staff member, in it.
From February 2018 to June 2019, users had to message Staff members on Twitter in order to ask for an invite to the server. From June 6, 2019 onwards, the Discord Server became public and the invite was made available on the Club Penguin Rewritten website directly.
Temporary Closure[]
Following the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (in short, DMCA) takedown forms being sent to many Club Penguin Private Servers around May 13, 2020, verification to be allowed into the server was paused on May 14. This was to help the Discord Moderators due to a recent high influx of new users following the closure of another highly-popular Club Penguin Private Server, as well as to help keep the Community calm as many had questions over Club Penguin Rewritten's status over the DMCA.
Following significant events on May 15, 2020, where several Staff members resigned in protest of unfavorable working conditions, which also prompted protests within the Community itself, all community channels were locked on May 17, 2020, effectively "closing" the Discord Server. As a result, community members could not chat anywhere in the server.
Sometime later, the Discord invite to the server was removed from the Club Penguin Rewritten website.
Reopening[]
Throughout the period the Discord Server was closed, many people on Twitter began to wish for the Discord Server to reopen. As a result, the Discord Server was reopened on May 30, 2020 to fulfill those wishes,[7] this time with stricter restrictions such as the lack of the music channel as well as stricter punishments.
Controversies[]
Due to high tensions in the Community following the drama from May 17, 2020, Thorn announced that any rule-breakers will be instantly banned from the Discord Server without being given a prior mute or warning. This sparked protests and theories that Club Penguin Rewritten was possibly censoring users.
Trivia[]
- The icon and server banner were updated periodically in line with the current or upcoming party or event.
- There was an old #community channel that was deleted on January 1, 2019 after an incident occurred with the Admins.[8]
- There is a Discord Server specially allocated for in-game Moderators which is kept a secret from the Community.
- At some point between the server's 2020 closure on May 15 and May 22, 2020, the invite link to the server was taken off the "Social" category on the Club Penguin Rewritten website. The link itself was also made invalid.
- The invite link was made available again starting from June 12, 2020, and was added back to the "Social" category on July 7, 2020.
- On October 27, 2020, the server was temporarily shifted into view-only mode for all community members for three hours as the Staff was trying to fix the server's Bot, Protobot.[9]
- On January 8, 2021, a support ticket system was introduced. To open a ticket, players can click on the "Open a ticket!" button in the #open-ticket channel. A staff member would either respond or close the ticket depending on the situation. The system was introduced in order to reduce the number of people directly messaging a moderator.
- The ticket system was closed for two months due to issues with a Discord update; it was fixed and brought back on July 22, 2021.
