VOTE ENDS ON FEBRUARY 2

We gotta organize this shit. New users often comment on the long and disorganized nature of our Discord server's current folder organization scheme. Personally, I find myself engaged in a conversation, and as soon as I switch to a different channel, become completely lost and lose track of where anything is discussed. Yes, you could simply collapse the folders and mute the channels, but would a new user rather spend 5 minutes of their life clicking buttons? Or just have everything they need available?

Propsed change	Current organization

Roza's proposed changes

Score: -3

For. Less cluttered, more organized. Now you know where the heck everything is. I promise, it will include an archive folder for old channels at the bottom, for archival purposes. Despite the picture, #general will stay NSFW. Note that this is only a proposal, and new channels and different folders may be added as needed. – roza^☭ 07:33, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
For. What Rose said. Auror Andrachome (talk) 07:42, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Against. →L A B O R A T O R I E S^{07:43 24 January 2019}
Against - It's cluttered and lengthy as all hell, but that gives it a certain personality. I say we live up to the "Discord" name. -- Kip the Egg Talk Works 07:45, Jan. 24, 2019
Zombiebaron. Roza fails to mention that the categories are collapsible, and when a channel in a collapsed category has a new message it becomes bold. Discord also has a very comprehensive search function, which makes finding your last discussion very simple with minimal effort. The current system was created organically by the community to suit our needs: many channels allows for us to discuss many topics at the same time without stepping on each other's toes. -- The Zombiebaron 07:48, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Against. This has been discussed at length on the Discord server, and voted on at least 7 times now, but I'm glad we finally get to publicly vote against this once and for all so we can move on with our lives. No one has complained about the Discord server's organization. Occasionally a new user may bring it up, in a "Huh, you guys have a lot of channels. That's interesting." kind of way. More often than not, it's only brought up because Roza specifically asks users for their opinion. No complaints. The fact of the matter is that, as discussed many times with Roza, every one of these channels are actively used, often concurrently. Why have one channel for discussing television shows when you can have multiple? In the days of IRC, I would sometimes have to bookmark links that I wanted to eventually share after existing conversations died down. The genius of Discord is that it allows for multiple interrupted conversations. Discord is fun and silly and creative, and this kills that. Please stop trying to make this happen. — S G 1|Hereish ^{[citation needed]} 07:53, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
For. I'd prefer if there were two channels, just like we used to have on IRC. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Fri, Jun 1 '79 0:00 (UTC)
For. Most of them are barely used, and I must say that no one even bothers to use them at once. We used to have only one channel and it was enough, bring back the old but gold times. Alvgjerd (talk) 08:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
That's not true. Most of these channels are used daily. — S G 1|Hereish ^{[citation needed]} 09:04, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Abstain. Though I feel there are too many channels, I simply mute most of them, and never cared.--The Pio neer 10:13, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
For. way too many channels at the moment. Arthur (talk) 10:17, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Against. Acts of contrarianism fit the very definition of the word "discord". I prefer my chaos without order or rules. Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 10:21, 24 January, 2019 (UTC)

Against. I don't really see the need for it as long as channels related to administration and technical matters are available (which are in the current system). And as has been mentioned by others, it lends the discord character. However, if certain pet channels were somehow fit into the new scheme, then I'd be more or less undecided and 50/50 over which to vote. Inhooman (talk) 11:37, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Against. It doesn't really need to be organized. We're talking about UNCYCLOPEDIA for Pete's sake. -- MagicBus Can you ride my Magic Bus? 13:46, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Against. I know I'm not exactly the most active person around these days and admittedly I'm still a bit of a noob to Discord, but I've personally never had any issues finding or switching channels and I've never had any qualms with how things are laid out. -- Lost Labyrinth • (t) • (c) • (a) 20:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
