Personally, the "drama" really only started for me after my ban from discord.

The "drama" behind the two discords started a while back (At least to my knowledge) But the incident was mostly behind closed doors in a private conversation (So I'm told) And the outrage that happened afterwards really was just... awful at the time. If you think this thread is "toxic", you clearly weren't around at the time/forgot about it.

I think people were angry that official was basically there without any thanks for any of the people who actually organized the original discord.

Me, I didn't really care that much, GCS was a place to foster community on rpg, Official was really just, the "official" version. If people wanted to chat there it was fine. The endgoal was to have a good chatroom platform. The fact that Mahz decided to make the official one was a sign that in the end, GCS was a successful experiment for the most part.

Which why I had to basically make a server wide announcement warning against any further toxicity under threat of permaban.

Midnight Howl (the owner of GCS at the time) was actually a moderator on the official discord for a bit, to which I assume was to try and appease the angry users and whatnot.   

I have my suspicions of what occurred for such a public outburst, and what caused the mods to promote Midnight Howl to what I assume was a chat moderator position, but seeing as I was not a part of these conversations in discord I can only really speculate.
