User blog comment:Thunder2004/Discord vs Wikia Chat/New wikia? and happy new year/@comment-26247925-20180101200651

I see where you're coming from. However, I think you're wrong. You think this wiki is the community. That's wrong. The community is the wiki. And not only the wiki, but the discord. We're not constrained to this website.

Long before I created the Discord server for TFOE, the wiki was in a steady decline. As of today, it has been declining for almost 2 years. People often complained about how the activity was dominated by official nation conflicts, song contests, and map games. In 2017 specifically, the wiki chat was as inactive as ever. Practically no-one used it.

That's exactly why the Discord server was created. To revitalise the community, and to create new activity. It doesn't matter if any and all new activity is on the Discord server. In fact, through the Discord server, TFOE has seen tremendous growth through other communities. Before, we used to ignore these communities. But now, after so long, the community is actually growing. That's why I see the Discord as more of a success than anything.
