== History ==
It was first created by [[Vanilla|Novella]] in September of 2016, but was later transferred to [[Dartz]] and made official. Before it got transferred to Dartz (and a matter of fact, before Novella's server ever existed), there were plenty of alternate CollabVM Discord servers you could use. Some stayed up forever, some went inactive (most all of them did actually), and some are just completely gone.
 
In the near-end of December 2018, the CollabVM Discord server officially closed down, due to e-drama. You could only enter with a private invite during this time. The server remained fairly small at the time, being less than 100 members.
 
In mid December 2019, after the aforementioned e-drama cooled off and the coast was clear, the server got reopened, and was fairly active. But however, on September 24th24, 2020, after a very long and aggravating series of events, the server got unexpectedly terminated for hacking. CollabVM Discord 2 was created as a result, which went fully public, and people started joining it left and right. It was even available as a public invite link on the CollabVM site itself.
 
On October 31, 2020, a verification system was devised to keep people who don't comply with Rule 4 and other various undesirable entities out of the server. This verification system consisted of a single channel with no privacy. It was very easy to lose track of things, and it was prone to constant shitposting until in 2023, the old verification system was decommissioned and replaced with a new, better verification system based on a ticket bot.
=== Storage ===
; #cool-things
: The channel for sending cool stuff you found. If you repeatedly send anything in this channel that is not considered cool by general consensus, you will get banned from the channel via the "cool-things Gagged" role.
; #collabvm-txt
: For posting the funniest moments of CollabVM.
; #collabvm-advent-calendar-2022
: The official annual CollabVM advent calendar for 2022 that would post a new [https://crustywindo.ws Crusty Windows] bootleg everyday up until the 24th of December.
; #collabvm-advent-calendar-2023
: The official annual CollabVM advent calendar for 2023 that would post a new [https://crustywindo.ws Crusty Windows] bootleg everyday up until the 24th of December. The reason it was repeated from the previous year was because there were now more bootlegs (and bootleg articles) to work with, because it started when the Crusty Windows Wiki was still young.
; #verification-archive
: The old verification channel, where people would send their age, and wait for an admin to verify. It had no privacy and was very chaotic, and was prone to mods and memebers constant shitposting, and children begging to be verified every 20 minutes, before it was shuttered and replaced with the new ticket-based verification system.
