== History ==
There were plenty of attempts at making CollabVM Discord servers before an official one was established. Some stayed up forever, the majority went inactive, and some are just completely gone. The first server to be permanently official was created by [[Vanilla|Novella]] in September of 2016, which got transferred to Dartz and was declared official.
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 some e-drama at the time. 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 howeverHowever, on September 24, 2020, after awhat verywas longone of the longest and most aggravating seriese-drama ofin CollabVM eventshistory, 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. ItThis wasmade it very easy for the staff to lose track of things, andas itpeople would only get verified once in a blue moon. It was also prone to constant shitposting, untilburying inpeople who would potentially be of value to the server. This would persist until 2023, when the old verification system was decommissioned and replaced with a new, better verification system based on aTicket Tool, Double Counter and ticketGaius botCicereius.
 
Currently, there are almost over 800900 members in the server.

# Nobody under 13 is allowed here.
# there is no #5
#* Rule 5 was originally made when the old verification system was first established. However, on April 5th, 2023, when it was decommissioned, the original message was deleted and CHOCOLATEMAN posted that.
# Do not block more than 1 staff member
# Blocking multiple (2-3) staff members from this point onwards will result in first verification reset and then a kick
# Do not post crashing videos, if you do, you will be promptly kicked, if not instantly banned so please refrain from doing that stuff, thanks
## Please attempt to refrain from posting imagery or videos with flashing lights/loud sounds without spoiling/warning
# Starting nerd wars or unnecessary drama with other communities will get you unverified or kicked
# Please refrain from starting drama, over-the-top arguing, or just general toxicity when you have a dispute with another member. You can always talk it out or just ignore them
# We have absolutely no tolerance for doxxing, harassment, and bigotry. Respect everyone regardless of their identity. With that being said, anyone involved in communities that endorse or commit acts of hate and/or harassment are not welcome here.
# with all Computernewb services, we are a stern and corrupt dictatorship, and administration does not need to possess a reason mentioned here or anywhere else to ban you from the usage of our services; we don't need to mention every loophole here to prevent you from being an asshole, you are subject to any punishment regardless of if we feel the need to mention it here

; #rules
: '''RULES CHANNEL.''' The imaginary and unenforced rules of the Discord. Has more than 4 rules!
; #joins
: If you want to see what type of people join the Discord, then check that channel out. You're not gonna like what you're gonna see in there.
: Although that channel is only viewable to non-verified members, it contains a button to open a ticket and some verification instructions. It used to be viewable as a read-only channel during the old verification system.
; #updates-of-the-hub-of-git

: The (public) bots channel. Waste hours there messing around with the server's premier bot "NotSoBot", making dumb and stupid tags that don't even work half the time, and people will forget about it by the end of the month, or you could even make sophisticated and advanced tags that heavily use JavaScript, and other more nuanced parts of the NotSoBot tag system, which people will also forget about by the end of the month. You can also take advantage of other bots in the server, including but not limited to Assyst, EsmBot, and CollabVM Boundary Fucker, which can do a variety of wonderful and interesting things.
