    As shown by this graph I made a while ago, most TPT users are young, and I'm guessing chucking them all in a chat room would be chaotic. There's a big unofficial tpt discord server I'm in, it's extremely spammy and unorganised, people just spam bot commands, images, videos and other stuff, and there's a nsfw channel for some reason. I'm guessing a new TPT discord server would look similar unless it's very well-moderated. I don't think an official discord server will be made any time soon, but it might be possible.

    Luckily, we do have several official IRC channels on Freenode. People rarely talk about TPT in the main channel, you could consider it a social channel with people who played TPT at some point in their lives. There's a separate channel that keeps track of TPT development on github and it's a good place to ask for help if you are making a mod or a lua script. There's a channel that keeps track of new TPT saves and new forum posts/threads. If you are interested, here's a link to check out: http://mrprocom.github.io/projects/tptreference/#irc

    Edit: Oh and unlike the discord servers, those IRC channels are way more organised and more moderated.

    Yeah, for now unofficial discord servers aren't allowed. I ended up leaving that unofficial one I tried joining. Every channel was spammed with memes/images and other idiotic stuff (never on topic) and the moderators encouraged it; I was constantly having to remove permissions that were being abused (like mentioning @everyone, and changing people's nicks to harass them); I saw some actual harassment (such as against furries); they recreated the nsfw and shitposting channels against my advice.

    There were probably more issues. Since it wasn't my discord server, I didn't really attempt to resolve all of these issues. I just let them be and eventually got sick of it and left. If I ever created my own official discord server, it would have to be properly moderated. (IRC isn't moderated perfectly either, but it's less abusable than discord because it is text-only)

    Geez than who is that fifty two year old? I mean my dad played the game, but he's fifty six years old and doesn't have a account.

Locked by jacob1: discord advertisements not allowed, so this thread is pointless
