Use History

Taylor Swift announcing COMMIE CREW will move from Mumble to Discord in Late 2015.

Discord was first used by the COMMIEVERSE in October of 2015, moving the group from its long term platform of using Mumble and forums. Discord appealed to COMMIE CREW heavily because of its high resemblance to RaidCall, which incorporated text and voice all into one platform, but with the added convenience of mobile apps. Adaption was slow (mostly because of Pigeon, who wouldnt give up using Messenger) and never full accept by the COMMIES by the time GAY was formed and then subsequently BMW.

After the formation of BMW, the Bimmers used Woofingtons mumble until he himself moved to Discord in late 2015. After a few run ins with the admins of that discord and the inability to control the platform for themselves, the Bimmers moved to their own discord on March 7th, 2016.

Since that time, numerous spin off discords related to the COMMIEVERSE have popped up (and more often than not, died within a short time).
