In general just have some other place to advertise PA-related projects. This is somewhat related to Karter’s thread, #1389609221359796244 , because right now PA-showcase is just a terrible amalgam of multiple different kinds of things making it impossible to actually find anything.

There needs to be a separate space to post about PA projects or other PA-related things that aren’t just levels, and there should probably be server link perms.

For example, Derpy’s PA card game is a project people may be interested in, and there’s a server for it, but the self-promo channel doesn’t exist anymore, so they have to DM the server link to anyone who wants to join instead of it being incredibly open to the entire server. Additionally, it isn’t very visible because the post for it is in the mess that is #1282388894050025584. Any project like this would benefit from a dedicated space for such projects.

I’m only making this thread because there was a discussion about it in the event channel (#📆┃ab-events message) and I know this is pretty similar to karter’s thread, but I felt it’s specific enough of a request that a post about it is justified.

Self-Promo was mainly removed due to lack of use. As far as I know we currently have no plans to bring it back.

did you read the entire post.

Yes. This is ultimately a pidge decision and us mods don't really have a bearing on whether new channels get made.

most mods you see are chat/user mods. Very few actually have the ability to implement server changes.

#

Chira is one of the very few with the ability to implement new channels

#

though stuff like this would have to be done with permission from pidge.

Pidge didn't know, it was kind of made just right then without her knowing.
To be fair, the mod team has discussed it and said not to do it again, though.
