:Okay I found the problem. Not only was the expiry time shorter than I was lead to believe (two weeks, not two months), but so was the minimum userlevel required to maintain it (300, not just "any op"). Once GameSurge's website starts working properly, we'll give all our ops level 300, and that should be a much stronger fix.

It has seem to come to my attention that #sw's active people have eroded and with that, the channel might be dead. I would like to request closing it down since nobody seems to go on there anymore.

== Dead. == | |||
Since its registration expired, #sw is no longer a channel on gamesurge, let alone nobody talks over there anymore. We should probably discontinue this (like have SmashWiki no longer link to #sw).

Well, since nobody responded at first, let me put it to you guys in a simpler matter if any of you guys would care to listen. There is only one or two IRC user(s) in the chatroom and there has been literally no discussion at all for three months by now. Chanserv has left the channel so this means that #sw is no longer a registered channel with ops, voices, modes, etc. Why still leave a link to the channel on the [[Main page]] when nobody goes no there anymore?

:You know what? If it's so dead right now, this is probably a good time to move it over from #sw to #smashwiki. I think I'll do that; it might stir up presence again, and the only thing stopping us before was not wanting the hassle of moving everyone over (which there isn't right now).

#'''Still a major oppose''' Ultimately, I still see no reason to fix what isn't broken. There's a lot of factors here, but the main one is that we barely ever get anyone on the IRC to begin with. I mean, if we did move to Discord, there is a chance we'd get more people, but one thing I feel is necessary to point out is that Serpent King at one point tried to put together a SmashWiki Discord and that fell through. What it boils down to, quoting something Toomai said one time, all the arguments boil down to are "Discord is new and improved" while "the IRC is well-established and popular". New doesn't always mean better, and, as someone who uses Discord, I still don't think Discord's good enough for a new SW IRC yet. It's getting close to what I'd prefer it to be, but it may still take another year. Maybe more, maybe less.

*@SK, all major smash groups now use Discord, and due to the fact that you have to be invited means no trolls and idiots will come on the channel [[File:PoultrysigSSB4.png|20x50px]][[User:Poultry|<font color="red">'''Poultry'''</font>]][[File:PoultrysigSSBM.png|20x50px]]''([[User talk:Poultry#top|<font color="blue">talk</font>]])'' the God-Slayer 17:33, 6 November 2016 (EST) | |||
*:@DF, The reason SK's failed attempt happened is because only the people on the IRC channel at the time would of heard about, how is it supposed to succeed if he doesn't advertise it on the rest of SmashWiki, in fact it haven't even been mentioned to me and lots of other users, if other users would have known about it, it could have actually gone somewhere [[File:PoultrysigSSB4.png|20x50px]][[User:Poultry|<font color="red">'''Poultry'''</font>]][[File:PoultrysigSSBM.png|20x50px]]''([[User talk:Poultry#top|<font color="blue">talk</font>]])'' the God-Slayer 17:39, 6 November 2016 (EST) | |||

*Why do the IRC and Discord have to be mutually exclusive? We can keep both around for now, and they can serve different purposes. IRC can be a casual, general chat that's easy to log and access (and we could even link it to a general chat on Discord through an IRC bridge bot if need be), and Discord can be for more specialized discussions. Just my two cents. If at some point we decide to make a full move, I wouldn't mind that, but this whole dichotomy of "should we have one over the other '''immediately'''" just kind of irks me. <b>-- [[File:Yellow sig.png|16px]] [[User:Yellow|<span style="color:#000;text-shadow: 1px 2px 3px #CCCC00;">Yellow</span>]] [[User talk:Yellow|<span style="color:#006400;text-shadow: 1px 2px 3px #9ACD32;">of the Grove</span>]]</b> 03:43, 8 November 2016 (EST) | |||
:*The IRC userbase is already small, so if we split it, discourse would be difficult to kickstart.

Ok so why don't we do this? We'll do a trial run of the discord channel (already have it set up) alongside the IRC for a month or two and see how it works. If one dies in favor of the other, we get rid of that.
