When there was a hack threat that arrived in this wiki a few months ago, the time when 's account was compromised, our dear friend created a Discord server as a safe haven for users who feared that their accounts might be compromised.

Now with the unofficial Discord server being a well-known thing to this wiki, a lot of users are believing that Discord has officially replaced the Wikia chat. It has not! Yappat did not create the Discord server in order to replace this Wikia's chat or even kill it. He did not! He never meant any harm. He was only concerned and wanted to make sure that users feel secure. I used to be against the Discord server. But now, I see the real reason why it was created.

In case you don't know, Yappat has been expressing in Discord how he feels guilty of creating the Discord server. It's as if it's all his fault. He's blaming himself for the chaos that has been going on this wiki regarding the "Discord killed the Wikia chat" issue.

I hope you all understand. Please. I don't think Yappat could take any more of the guilt the more people keep thinking "Discord has ultimately killed the wiki" and with Yappat blaming himself more. It hasn't! It's not yet the end of the world. This wiki is still alive! We get more new users arriving to join this community in order to figure out how they could contribute and help this wiki in any way they can. We get more users organizing up the mainspace area.

And do you wanna know what is the real discord we should actually blame here? It's not this Discord! Instead, it is our own discord! The discord we make up for ourselves. The discord that we continue to prolong and let it flow in this wiki. So basically, we should stop blaming the Discord site and start looking at our own faults and the mess we make.

We (or at least i) don't say that it directly replaced it.
