The Great Channel Debacle

February the 17th. It was a dark and stormy night, when suddenly people started noticing. The positions of the #oof-topic and #programming channels had been switched on the Repl.it Discord Server! Panic ensued across the Repl Kingdom. When questioned about the reason for the change, Zwack the destroyer answers "The main focus of repl.it is programming, so it's a natural fit" and "oof-topic can get a bit toxic, so I don't think it's a good introduction to our community for new members", then he proceeds to blame Bee man. Still, people agreed this was a very unholy decision and started making alternatives to the Repl.it Discord such as an IRC chat and custom chatrooms.

The next day, this channel change was reverted, first noticed by MrEconomical. However, our secret channel position savior is still a mystery.


In early July, fluffin moved #oof-topic below #programming and #help-and-reviews. This only lasted a few hours before being reverted by another moderator.
