MFGG launched an official Discord chat group on October 15, 2017, and the group was announced to the public on October 17. The Discord group was launched on an experimental basis, and MFGG staff plans to keep it around as long as it's having a positive influence on the MFGG community. The group's channel structure has gone through a number of changes since launch, but most of the channels are analogous to the forums.

Various MFGGers have launched unofficial chat groups over the years, both IRC groups and various iterations of MFGG Skype Group. However, the Discord group is the first official MFGG chat group since the original MFGG IRC became unofficial around 2010 - between 2010 and 2017, MFGG never had an official chat group.

Membership

The MFGG Discord Group is open to anyone with a Discord account - participants aren't required to have an account on the forums or mainsite, although Discord participants are encouraged to be active elsewhere on MFGG. Partnerships with the group also encourage members from other affiliated communities to join MFGG through the Discord. As of August 2018, the group has approximately 350 members.

Rules

The Discord group's rules are essentially the same as the rules on the forums, although enforcement is slightly more lenient because of the fast-paced nature of a chat group.

Staff

All staff members on the forums and mainsite also have staff powers on the MFGG Discord group. In addition, the MFGG Discord Group has four chat moderators - Kirby's Adventure, Beatrice, rollerC, and Fun With Despair. Discord Mods (chat moderators) only have powers in the Discord group.
