Actually scratch that. In going looking for the tweet again (it was a few weeks ago that I saw it), it looks like it was a fake. Probably only a matter of time given their track record but that tweet, at least, looks to have been a fake. Sorry about that.

@Officer Hotpants  
Wait what?

If what I’ve heard about discord rolling out a speech police AI is true, it might not matter much in the long run.

@amm  
It’s simple: the staff should have some professionalism standard, and should not talk about the website or hold moderation discussions in a non-official random discord server made by some guy. Simple as. Like, Zizzy is already in various discord servers, but if I corner him in some cytube discord and start a lengthy discussion about ponybooru policy, I’d fully expect the answer to be “bro, this kind of discussion should really happen on ponybooru, not on this random ass server”. (Except he doesn’t usually talk like that.) Or if he did tell me something, nobody would expect it to count as anything remotely “official” related to the site rather than just a private chat.  
Same standard should be applied to any “unofficial discords” people make.
 
@ZizzyDizzyMC  
Do not actually make a discord. It makes mustard gas and also fucks the community.

@amm  
Alright, I’ll play that ball.  
If a Discord HAS to be made then set a cooldown of like 60 seconds between messages and ensure it has no idle talk channel. Only technical stuff, which the timer will ensure is more thought of. Cockblock social discords from happening without actually allowing the discord to be social.

@ZizzyDizzyMC  
do not make a discord, discord killed derpi

@HorseFoxtrot  
Settle thy tiddies.

I’m making a discord, but I don’t have the time to moderate three things.

@amm  
What part of NO DISCORD do you not understand, I don’t care it’s official or unofficial.

Using an already existing OC that’s heavily identified with a single user would be a bad idea: so that’s a no to Sign.
 
MMDW isn’t a terrible idea.
 
I like the idea of a clunky robopony since that indicates the websites’ purpose: an unbiased archive of pone.
 
 
@Cammera  
Someone’s going to make an ‘unofficial discord’ in a week or two, all the staff will be on it, and we’ll have lost the ability to set the tone of the server.

I don’t really like the super clunky version. I personally like @Mcsweezy version the most so far.

@Parallel Black  
This or Mare Do Well for me.

@ArchiveAnon  
I love the idea of Mare Do Well as the mascot

Hurry up creative people! Lol I want to draw mascot pone xD

Thank you!

@Parallel Black  
Cute!

@Parallel Black  
I like it!

@Parallel Black  
Looks pretty good to me.

Ok, this turned out to be a chance to use a design I haven’t used in quite a while, so while this might not end up being the final design, I’d like to add this to the pile nonetheless:  

@Cammera  
I like the low poly idea, but it would probably work better in 3d

@Parallel Black  
I like the idea of the floppy drive being at her heart instead. Or we could just have a floppy inside a heart for the cutie mark.

@Anonymous #143F  
And this would be a lot easier, I think, as well as more popular with the general ponybase. Good idea!

@Cammera  
Huh, I actually love the idea of her coming out of the middle of the floppy disk, almost like an AI hologram.
 
“Floppy, find me an image I can favourite.”  
“Searching foalcon tags, brb.”
 
The Ecstatica design looks good, too!

Also, if we’re doing a robopone, the cutie “mark” could be a good place for the actual floppy drive. Both symbolic and functional!

@Cammera  
@Parallel Black  
How about going the opposite direction: a really slick, sci-fi robopone… but still with a floppy drive. Gives a humorous juxtaposition, while also giving the freedom to make the futuristic shape rounded, refined and even cuddly.
