︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶⊹︶

Hello @Patrons / , I apologize for the inactivity, and the lack of effort I've put into this server. Life be lifing a little too hard recently. I will be working alongside with @Vani to rework the server. We thought the minor changes we've done so far would boost activity and for new members to join and stay, but it has not worked out. So we will be gradually changing the server, it's banners, icons, emotes, creating a mascot for the server, completely rebranding, and renaming the server.

We will be optimizing the server to better fit the gaming agenda for those of you who are still here and for newer members. If you have any suggestions for the server do not feel afraid to put them in the #💡「suggestions」 channel. We take any suggestions to consideration. ❤️

Changes won't be immediately, they will happen gradually, we will make another announcement to keep you all updated.

Announcement Alert, Very Important

I will be working on the server once again and there are some changes I want to suggest to you all, we're hoping to get this server more active and would like some input from our community. We'll be making changes as we go, if you like the suggestions just vote within the Poll below this announcement, or suggest your own in #channel. We're hoping to keep this community alive and while everyone is busy, I do want to see some activity within the server, so I need YOUR help with learning how to improve what we're lacking to keep you active.

Current Suggestions Brainstorm

I'd like to add adult categories or a possible bot category to screw around with bots you all can interact with. If the adult category is implemented into the server, we'd most likely do age verification with everyone for safety reasons, if we go with the bot route what bots would you want within the server??? Give us the deets.

I appreciate all of you for still being in here, even while it's at it's most inactive state, hopefully we can change that.

WE STILL HAVE ADMIN AND MOD APPLICATIONS OPEN

Small PSA

@Announcements

Slash commands are still considered bot commands, please use the #「🤖」bot-channel channel for bot commands.

We also have @FlaviBot for voice channels, you get a custom channel when you join and it creates a VC, so you can type commands there and try out the bot!
- We also have a music voice channel now with 24/7 Lofi music!

If you're also new and have not been verified you may now verify in #channel ! (I realized the server is having some technical issues when verifying new users, it's turning off the community onboarding)

Final Changes

Good evening everyone. The poll has drawn to a close, all votes are final!
The server will begin starting today, to transition into a general gaming server. I will shift the focus from Apex to all genres of games. I apologize to those who may have wanted to keep the server as is, but the vote for change overweighed for no change.

I'd also like to apologize for the spam earlier, the user has been dealt with, and with that being said further safety measures will be applied to ALL CHANNELS. If your messages get flagged for any reason please submit a help ticket in our support channel!

Thank you for your understanding and patience as I work hard to rework the server this upcoming week. I hope you'll stick around for the server further and I'm very happy you all are a part of this community.

The next ping you'll receive will be a change log of all the new changes to the server.

Community Vote

Hello ,
Firstly, I'm very grateful for all of you who have stuck with this server for this long. I understand it's been a bit inactive but hopefully we can change that with each step we attempt to take to improve the server and comfort of our community.

With that being said. I am offering a Community Vote.
I've come to realize Apex Legends is a very small and specific genre to focus on for a server. SO. I'm leaving the option up to you guys what direction this server should take.

Do you think we should rebrand the server and turn Apex Plaza into a General Gaming server?

Questions You May Have:

What does that mean for the server?
- It means we would rebrand, change, and rework the server from the ground up. We will be turning our focus into all gaming genres instead of just Apex Legends.

What would change if everyone votes yes?
- Roles and Channels mostly. We would delete majority of Apex specific channels and roles. In turn we would replace them for other roles and channels you can access.

What would happen if everyone votes no?
- Nothing would change.

Why is this being discussed/voted on?
- As all of you know we lack activity, which is very crucial for a server to survive and succeed, so this is usually our priority along with keeping our members feel safe and welcomed.
- We have been informed that we are on the road for discoverability. What does that mean? That means if we acquire the qualifications Discord wants, this server can become more accessible to users on Discord. Which means more traffic into the server, more users, more activity, and much more goals for the future.

• If you have any questions or concerns don't be afraid to message me privately.
