If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
I don't remember anyone even requesting for Skorn to be banned, you guys just randomly left.
I don't really see the appeal of fragmenting an already small community even further
I (for one) didn't even bother to request Skurn's ban because I knew it would be weeks or months before someone from the moderation team would respond. And even if it was done on time, I just never really liked how things were going there. It's full of disinterested people. And I'm not saying the mods should take moderation more seriously. After all, they're people who have their own lives and no one really wants to take time out of their day to watch over a sorta-dead community.
People can still join the old discord, I don't care. This isn't an attempt to break the community into two. I just did what I thought was the next best thing. I couldn't hang around the old discord anymore but I didn't wanna abandon the community either so I just made my own place. No one really wanted to (or cared) to make me a moderator. So whenever I'd tell people to make me mod, because I was the only one still active and willing, no one really listened or cared. And, again, no hard feelings to anyone. I don't hate people (especially online). I just want to clear up my motives. I wanted to be in control of the community and it didn't seem possible, so I found my own means. That way there was no more pony spam or any similar bullshit. If someone was being annoying to the community, I could take care of it.
Plus, the member list got cleared up a bit. No more tens or hundreds of dead members. Whoever's in my server right now is (more or less) active. No more feeling like a bunch of people sitting around in a graveyard.
EDIT: And like Robj pointed out, the rules (even if written) on that server were pretty much non-existent. Anyone could do or say anything and it would be weird to do anything about it at that point because it's been done 1 million times before. Then again, active action is still better than no action and "it's been done before and there were no consequences" isn't the best reason to stop enforcing rules. That's why I made my own place. To make sure the old rules are actually being followed.
Anyways, join the old server, join mine, join neither, I don't care. I just care about this community so I did what I wanted to do.
