Heya <@&556148669242408971> - We wanted to update you about a clarification that we have made in our Auctions Guidelines regarding servers/communities with NSFW channels contained in them (or bots that have NSFW commands).
This is the previous guideline:
- Your advertisement should not contain content, mention terms, or utilize categories that indicate a more mature audience. In addition, if you are advertising a server that Discord has flagged as NSFW via their API, your advertisement may be removed as well.
- Note that we allow communities that are focused towards adult members, but we do not allow communities that contain adult/mature content.
This is the new guideline:
Note that we allow communities that are focused towards adult members, however your advertisement should not contain content, mention terms, or utilize categories that indicate a more mature audience. In addition, if you are advertising a server that Discord has flagged as NSFW via their API, your advertisement may be removed as well.
The reason for this change is that we want to be consistent across bots, servers, and products bidding in Auctions. As long as your advertisement does not have any NSFW or "mature" terms in it then it is acceptable to be advertised.
If you have any questions about this clarification or what is allowed or isn't, please ask in #auctions-support

Hey folks! 
We just wanted to quickly share our Private Leaderboard for Advent of Code 2022. If you’ve never heard of it, you can find more information here: https://adventofcode.com/2022/about
TL;DR - Every night at Midnight EST (UTC-5) a new coding challenge unlocks for people to attempt to solve. The faster you solve it, the more points you get! It is a fun way to practice your programming knowledge - it can be done in any language and if you can’t complete a challenge, that’s okay! You can try the next day's challenge instead.
We aren’t hosting any official event for Advent of Code, this leaderboard is just to have a bit of fun with other members of the Top.gg community!
Our leaderboard code is: 1069015-af2456a5
You can input it on this screen: https://adventofcode.com/2022/leaderboard/private once you've logged in!
Happy coding and holidays!

Hey everyone!
We have some exciting news to share with you all today!
You might have seen them with their new roles already, but we have two new Community Managers who've been promoted from their Moderator positions! 
Please join me in welcoming @toxic loom and @modest niche - who will be running the Contributor team, and the server events respectively.
Johannes, the one and only Norwegian staff member 🇳🇴, will be leading the Contributor team moving forward. As some of y’all know, he's a full stack software engineer working at a news media company. You will most of the time find him either programming, volunteering at a search and rescue group, playing Minecraft or hanging out on discord. In his new position here, he will be onboarding, training, and helping lead the users that help contribute to support and events within our Community Server 
Dominik (or Dom) is studying Geography and English to become a teacher one day. Apart from that, he likes to hang out with friends, play Overwatch, eat good food and listen to music. If you have some new music recommendations or just want to talk, feel free to send him a message! 
Also, since Dom will be leading the Events team, feel free to reach out to him if you have any ideas for server events!
We are super excited to have both of them on the CM team and can't wait to see what fresh ideas and experiences they bring! They will work closely with the rest of the CM team to manage the community! Feel free to reach out to them with any CM related questions or concerns

Hey <@&556148669242408971>!
As you know, the minimum CPM bid each week is calculated based on the highest CPM bid from the week before. Recently we’ve noticed the minimum bid on some of the Front Page slots has been unreasonably high. Last week, the minimum bid was automatically set to $25 on these slots, and we manually lowered it to $10 on Monday on some slots to make auctions more accessible.
Moving forward, we’ve decided to cap the minimum bid limit at $5 for all future Auctions.
We hope this will help creators on our platform to grow their projects more easily!
Also, in other news, today we’re announcing a brand new feature for Auctions we’re releasing right here on Discord! Today we’re opening #auctions-status where our new @latent burrow bot will ping users who sign up for the <@&1064947337207746640> role in #966027989374627840 with important Auctions reminders like when bidding is about to end and when payments are due! You can also follow the channel in your own Discord server to get cycle status updates and reminders there!
We've also fixed #auctions-tickets for efficient live private support!
We understand the weekly auctions deadline is sometimes complicated to keep on top of and we hope this new tool will help make the auctions cycle clearer for everyone and remind you when Auctions are about to close!

Hey everyone!
We have some unfortunate news to share with you today - we have made the difficult decision to end the Contributor program in its current capacity. We do not make this decision lightly, but we believe that it will be the best for Top.gg moving forward.
Due to upcoming internal changes, we’ve made this decision to be able to better focus on and provide more time to dedicate to the volunteer staff team (BRs+). We of course heavily appreciate everything that our current Contributors have done and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors, and they are welcome to apply for our Bot Reviewer program if they wish to do so!
If you are interested in joining our staff team, please keep an eye out this coming week for an application refresh! Thank you and have a great day

Hey everyone!
As some of you may already know, I recently started work on Product Design at Medal! For this reason, I'm stepping down from my Community Manager responsibilities.
My time as a volunteer at Top.gg was incredibly fulfilling and I learnt so much from my time as a Bot Reviewer, Moderator, and later as a Community Manager. We're so lucky to have such an amazing team of volunteers here who care so deeply about the community and seeing creators grow using our platform. But I'm also incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue in my career at Medal and I'm looking forward to what the future brings!
I'll remain a Top.gg Team member in order to continue to help with Auctions support on Mondays and Tuesdays, and major site issues.
I'll be around a lot less from now on, but I promise to pop in from time to time for a quick chat! My DMs are always open.
Thank you to everyone in the community who has made my time here so amazing! I will miss it a lot!

Hey @everyone! 
As you're all aware, our bot reviewal times have become very long these past months. In order to solve the issue, we've decided to open up the process and crowd-source bot reviewing. 
This decision was made due to the success of our crowd-sourced translations, a lot of members in our community wanting to see open-source becoming a more prominent part of Top.gg, and also because we believe with the 15k approved bot developers in this server, queue times will become a lot shorter instead of it being handled by a handful of bot reviewer staff. 
How does it work?
If you're an approved bot developer, you've been automatically opted-in to our <@&265125253443878912> programme.
In order to keep an approved bot on the site you must review at least 1 bot per month.
Failure to review a bot in the month will result in your bots being deleted from Top.gg for inactivity. This is also a way for us to clean offline bots from the site.
✨ 👇 Watch the orientation tutorial below to learn how and where to review bots 👇 ✨
Crowd-Source Bot Reviewer Orientation: https://youtu.be/BDs88_mF3Vo
If you have any questions about crowd-source bot reviewing, please reach out to our staff in #1091643086389649488! 
EDIT: This was an April Fool's joke!

Hey <@&556148669242408971>!
Just a quick announcement today to let you know we've changed the way #bids works. You can no longer see message history, but you can still see all new messages posted in the channel while people bid as long as you're focused on the channel!
This is for a couple of reasons which we'll explain below for transparency:
To improve the privacy of our users:
During Auctions interviews we conducted a few months ago with some of you, a lot of our users felt uneasy about their bidding history being forever available. Keeping the Auctions system transparent has always been a core part of our auctions offering and we didn't want to completely remove this feature. That's why our live Auctions leaderboards on https://auctions.top.gg will remain as they currently are and active bids will still be accessible there, just bid history will now be removed to protect everyone's privacy.
To keep Auctions fair and competitive for all users:
Some users have been using bidding history to abuse the Auctions system in a way that made it unfair and uncompetitive for others. We hope hiding bidding history will help combat this behaviour and place everyone on an equal footing.
As mentioned before, bidding will stay open and transparent, and the #bids channel will still work as normal during the peak bidding times around Auctions ending, but for the reasons outlined above we have only changed the visibility on message history!
Transparency around changes to the Auctions system is as important to us as it is to our users so even though this is a minor change we did feel it was important to point it out and explain the reasoning behind the decision!
As a thank you for reading this far, here's a little gift for you! Use the code BIDSUPDATE10 during next week's Auctions payment window after bidding ends for $10 off your invoice using FastSpring!
Feel free to reach out to us in #auctions-general if you have any questions! 
As usual, thank you for using Auctions!

Hey all!
Just a heads up there has been an increase in fake support scam attempts recently.
As a reminder, please only contact us through #support and only solicit help from official staff members in DMs!
Top.gg staff will NEVER reach out to you in DMs regarding a question you asked in this server without discussing it with you in a channel here first!
Top.gg staff members will NEVER ask you for money or wallet details.
We will NEVER require you to download any files or click on any links while providing support except for links to our own website!
💡 Our only two places for support are this Discord server and our support portal https://support.top.gg.
💡 Official staff members are easily identifiable in this server by the role icons that appear after their names, like mine above: 
If you believe someone is impersonating staff, please report it in #support with a screenshot and their Discord ID.
Thank you!

NEW: Top.gg Partnerships Sales are Open!Starting today, Auctions customers with large ad spends on Top.gg can now purchase select slots for a fixed monthly rate. We will bid for you privately, and your product and budget won’t appear on our bidding leaderboards. If you’re a larger Auctions customer and are interested, please reach out to us via email at partnerships@top.gg to find a custom advertising solution that works for you! We know bidding every week can be intense, and this will make it easier.
Keeping voting credits fair and balanced for everyoneWe are cracking down hard on abuse of our platform, in particular with regards to bots with voting exploits. Dishonest users should never be incentivized to resell voting rewards in order to make money themselves. We understand this is unfair and unbalanced, and we are working closely with a handful of the largest creators on our platform to make sure this behavior ends!
While they were gone, we re-worked the third party ads experience and will be re-introducing it in a much cleaner way starting next week. Top.gg is a free-to-use platform where millions of Discord users go to find thousands of Discord bots and servers, and third-party ads are a great way to keep our platform free for both our users and for our creators!
Top.gg Premium is back and better than ever!Behind the scenes, we’ve also made fixes to Top.gg Premium! If you enjoyed the ad-free experience in May, you can continue to enjoy it while supporting Top.gg for as little as $2.99 per month, with no more waiting for ads before voting for your favorite bots and servers!

We're taking the auctions credit system down for some maintenance tonight to address some of the "auctions not loading issues" which means votes will reset slightly earlier than normal. Heads up to make sure you claim your vote credits in the next 12 hours or so @everyone
slow cedar
Hey @everyone, <@&556148669242408971> , and <@&1064947337207746640> !
We wanted to follow up on the above announcement regarding Auctions maintenance and votes being wiped. We have moved this maintenance to allow you to claim August’s credits for 24 hours before this data is removed.
Votes will reset at <t:1693526400:F>.
You need to claim your August credits before <t:1693612800:F> (24 hours later) as we will start maintenance shortly after.
If you do not see a claim button on your bot or server’s edit page, please vote for your own bot/server and then you should be able to claim your credits.
After our maintenance, credits from August will no longer be claimable and all votes for September will be reset to zero.
We will post in #site-status when maintenance begins and when it ends, so that you are notified. 
We take every precaution to avoid resetting data, however at this point in time this is the only solution to some of the API issues (such as timeouts) and Auctions promotable loading issues.
Because we will be resetting vote counts twice (once on September 1st and once after maintenance), ordering in search results could be disrupted for a couple of days. This is to be expected and should normalize after 4-6 days.

Hi everyone, Pim here. It's been an interesting last 24 hours as you all know. We started seeing outages due to some small DDoS attacks yesterday. The team and I have been up for about 24 hours root causing the problems because let's face it... A DDoS shouldn't bring a website down. We're not in 2010 anymore.
The first few hours were just firewall configurations to mitigate the attacks so that we could get to a state of normalcy where we could debug services without them being maxed on cpu/memory etc. After we did that, we collected data on all the services that were affected and got to work. This morning, we were able to root cause the solution and issue a fix.
Turns out that when we moved over to the new design, there was a misconfiguration in one of our proxies leading to http requests being fetched from the origin server (which is connected to the database, etc) far too often. However, this was only applicable when forwarding to 1 specific machine. The proxy was configured correctly for every other machine. Making it so difficult to debug. We found this when we took that specific machine out of load balancer rotation and noticed that backend services were getting less load.
We use redis for session caching, and the billions of requests completely filled up the cache with user sessions (from the ddoser) to the point where it was impossible to debug without nuking the cache (restarts took an hour since the cache was ~100GB), which unfortunately led to a (deliberate) reset of votes. I made a backup - but it's a massive file and restoring votes may take a while.
We just issued a patch which means we are serving the site much faster and from a static cache instead of it constantly being re-generated on the server. Go play with it 🙂
Naturally because it's caching, you may see some weirdness - i.e. appearing logged out when logged in etc. Please report any to me and I will look at it right away.
Much love, apologies it was down for this long.
Pim
tranquil hamlet
Quick FYI about ddos attacks as we've obviously seen more of them recently - if the attacker switches up strategies it always goes down for a little while as the firewalls kick in as the servers are flooded with connections in some regions. The important part is that the actual backend services don't go down and cause slowness. The patched proxy infra is holding up really well - sometimes just tons of traffic clogging the lines. And I have to go in and manually drop that traffic for it to free up. We do this at Medal all the time - just more noticeable as it's constant recently. Some people will also get blocked as we opportunistically have to block IP addresses and ranges to mitigate these attacks. The site will automatically unblock when the attacks stop.

Hello @everyone!
As of today we will no longer allow any mature content onto Top.gg. Previously we allowed servers with “mature” themes to show on Top.gg and if a user desired to see that content by agreeing that they were 18+ and turning off their safety filter. However, we are moving towards a better overall experience for users of all ages and will strictly enforce our updated moderation rules and guidelines.
We will be regularly going through and removing current mature content on a rolling basis while we work to prevent anything new from being posted. Click the “Report” button on any pages that violate our guidelines so our Moderators can take action accordingly.
Our server guidelines have been updated to reflect this change and moderation for this will begin immediately.
If you have any questions, please feel free to open a support ticket at https://support.top.gg .

Hi @everyone !
As most of you are aware, earlier this month while we were dealing with the downtime we had to reset our site’s cache which resulted in vote counts being reset. We had a backup taken, but unfortunately the data discrepancy proved to be too much and we have been unable to restore those votes this month.
Additionally, on Tuesday evening during a deployment to fix the most recent issues and improve site stability, we also were forced to reset the cache, which caused vote counts to be reset once again. Last night at midnight UTC, votes were also reset once more at the normal time for resets, on the last day of the month.
This is going to cause your vote credits for Auctions to be incorrectly calculated. If your bot or server would have reached 100+ votes last month with all monthly votes, please open an #auctions-tickets and provide your bot/server page URL. A <@&817055174613794826> member will assist you to manually provide your vote credits to your Auctions wallet.
Please remember to have patience as our Support Team works on these requests individually over the next few days.
As of today, bots and servers will no longer be receiving credits for voting. Users can open a ticket and receive your January credits following the steps above, but after the monthly reset on February 29th this month, there will be no further credits to claim.
We are removing the vote credit program to improve the Auctions experience for our regular customers and start our work towards improving the Auctions platform to follow industry standards and recommendations.
While developers and server owners will no longer receive credits, leveraging votes is still an incredibly effective way to grow your community! With votes, your listing shows higher in our search results and recommendations, helping grow your project for free on the back of Top.gg’s industry-leading SEO! We are working on making improvements to our voting and voting rewards system to support page owners further in the future. In the meantime, you can check out our How to Grow your Discord Server and How to Grow your Discord Bot to read our curated tips and tricks!
Bot developers and server owners can also utilize our GitHub Repositories to implement voting rewards. We offer documentation for these repositories at https://docs.top.gg and can help provide support in #topgg-api.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know in an #auctions-tickets or in the #auctions-support channel!

Hey everyone! I have some very exciting news to share with you today!
I am going to be changing roles to become Top.gg’s Community Coordinator. I will be in charge of the Community Manager team and the rest of the volunteer team moving forward, leading all things community, support, and social media and the communication between Team members and users of the Top.gg site.
I still plan on being a very active member of our community! I’ll be the primary point of contact for Auctions support and escalations such as site-status announcements and patch-notes communication. However, I am moving away from being a Community Manager and leading the Bot Reviewer program. We have someone new who will be stepping up to take those responsibilities!
Please join me in welcoming @severe kernel as our newest Community Manager! He has been a moderator here for over two and a half years, and we’re very excited to have him join our CM Team and help lead the community to bigger and better things!
Dylan is here to replenish the Irish part of the CM Team (thanks Mac). He is also in his final semester of studying for his Software Engineering degree. Outside of college he is either running Novonode 
or hanging out with friends. Some of his offline hobbies include boating, rock climbing and running. He will be primarily leading our Bot Reviewer program, including managing applications, interviews, and overseeing the Bot Reviewer Mentor program.
I am extremely excited to have Dylan onboard and looking forward to how our Community Manager team as a whole will continue to assist me in providing quality support and oversight to our various communities, on and off Discord.

Hey everyone - some tough news to share.
Starting today, we’re going to be shutting down the Discord Server List and DAOs sections of the site. We’re returning to our roots by supporting bots. We will be removing all currently listed servers and disallowing any new servers to be listed. We’ve increasingly become less competitive on those keywords and it is an impossible task to moderate the server directory, far more time than we have to give.
We understand that this is a big change. In order to allow changes to be made and support to be provided appropriately, we will be locking the server for a period of time to allow this news to settle. If you have any questions, please open a ticket at https://support.top.gg - spamming Discord isn’t going to allow us to catch up, so please use the tickets system for any direct questions.

Hey - the last few days have not lived up to our standards as a platform.
The site went down due to multiple attacks again this week.
This is not the experience I want to deliver to you and I'm deeply sorry. I care a lot about you guys. I've spent days/weeks/months debugging issues and getting the stack to a point where it could handle the needs properly, but in the end as I run Medal and it is becoming increasingly intense, I'm failing you.
As medal has grown, we have increasingly failed you as a community. And we hope this is a way to make things right. @keen osprey deserves it ❤️

Hi! Long time no see! It's been what.. years? crazy! As you may have read in Pim's message already, a big change is coming to top.gg!
My goal here is to restore top.gg back to its peak and we're not stopping until that's done. Our first focus is on improving the site’s reliability, fixing old bugs, and rebuilding the trust that top.gg had with the bot community. Once we feel confident that this is achieved, we will continue on building the best platform for bots that's out there!
Right now our team is busy identifying key points of improvement on the platform and ensuring that we deliver a lasting solution for each one of them. This ensures that in the near future you have a faster and more stable browsing, managing, and searching experience on top.gg!
I hope you're just as excited as I am to embark on this journey.

Hi all,
At the start of this month, we've been made aware of a security issue involving a our python sdk. a contributor of the python-sdk has had their GitHub account compromised which led to malicious commits being pushed to the top-gg/python-sdk package. The issue was resolved within 24h after being made aware of the issue.
The issue has potentially impacted developers who installed the python-sdk directly from git (through pip3 install git+...) from Feb 19 until Mar 3, if you believe you've been at risk, we highly recommend you to enable 2FA on the all of your accounts and rotate your passwords right away.
Generally we believe the overall scope of the attack was minimal, the repository sees a low number of git clones (approx. 2 unique clones per day), though we are interested in collecting numbers and understanding more about how our SDK is being used, if you believe you've been exposed to this vulnerability, please reach out directly to me.
In response of this, we've made sure to add additional efforts to ensure that these kinds of issues will not repeat.
If you cloned the repository within the days of 19 Feb to 3 Mar, please ensure the git tree in your pyton-sdk does not contain the following commit ecb87731286d72c8b8172db9671f74bd42c6c534, as this is the commit that infects the package.
This kind of activity is far below the bar for what we strive for, and hope we've convinced you moving forward we will ensure this will not happen again.
Cheers, Veld

Hey @everyone!!

Hi <@&265125253443878912>
Question for you guys, as you know top.gg has run for years around this resetting voting system where your votes reset every 1st of the month.
How would you feel about vote scores persisting instead and rather than going to zero each month, we show you your total votes for the last 31 days instead. This way the counts feel more persistent 🤔
Just wanna hear about what you guys think honestly either vote or talk in the thread below!
I prefer resets (lose all votes each month)
I prefer persistent scores (show last 31 days of voting)
Indifferent, either way is fine to me

We often have people that come into our server and ask for help finding a specific bot - they need this feature and that feature, and don’t want to search on our website to find it themselves. They want to just ask our discord community and be given exactly what they need. That is why we have decided to ask our community to play detective and find bots for users who need help!
🕵️ We’ve opened up #1356260000758104187 - a place where users can ask for help finding a specific bot. If you want to help out and earn the role of Bot Detective, find a bot that meets their criteria and send the Top.gg link in the thread that is created when they ask for help. If the user who created the thread accepts your suggestion, you’ll receive the <@&1356260341981516010> role and the user will walk away satisfied.
Be sure to keep an eye out for new requests and find what they need quickly - only one user per thread can be accepted and earn the Bot Detective role!
-# Please note that Bot Detective is a purely ceremonial role and holds no actual authority within this server or the real world. Bot Detectives are unpaid volunteers who receive zero compensation. Any resemblance to real detective work is purely coincidental. Top.gg is not liable for any misrepresentation or misrecommendation on behalf of Bot Detectives.

Woah, seems you all like Bot Detectives so much! We've opened it up so users can request multiple bots (make a new thread) and Bot Detectives can answer multiple threads. Keep enjoying your detective work! 🕵️

Hi <@&265125253443878912>
🤔 another poll to get your take on an idea I've had.
If we had a new volunteer team which is a "data quality team" which occasionally ensures your bot page is up to date, translates your bot page into different languages. Would that be something you'd be interested in? This team would help localize bot page descriptions into our supported languages, update tags which we see improve visibility on the site, or update your bot pages with new updates.
This is all purely hypothetical, and generally a vibe check to see if it would be something we should invest into. It came up as we are improving the overall infrastructure around localization on the website and felt like it would be a great benefit to find new users from all kinds of languages!
As per usual, very interested in the conversation, so please do drop your thoughts in the 
thread!
I would opt in
I would opt in, but, I don't feel comfortable with volunteers editing my primary content
I would not opt in, but I would if it only enhances my bot page

Ever been banned, muted, or warned in a server and had no idea how to appeal? That’s where appeal.gg comes in. It makes appealing as easy as typing a link - just like discord.gg, but for appeals. Mods can set up custom forms, lock them behind punishments, and manage everything right from Discord or the web dashboard. You can even see your punishment status and appeals in real-time. Super handy for both users and mods!

If you’re into pixel art and RPGs, you need to check out BEB RPG. It’s got that classic anime-inspired vibe, lets you build your own character, fight monsters, craft gear, and even trade with friends. Super chill but also addictive - perfect for hanging out and levelling up with your server.

🔍 Search Just Got a MASSIVE Upgrade!
Hey y'all! We’ve been working hard behind the scenes and today we’re excited to announce a full rewrite of the Top.gg search system.
Here’s what’s new:
⚡ Instant Indexing
Your listing now updates in real time. No more waiting hours (or even days) for your description or vote count to reflect in search, it’s instant from now on.
🧠 Smarter Matching
Search now handles special characters, diacritics, and uncommon words much better. That means listings with unique names or international spellings will show up correctly and more consistently.
🔎 Relevance System
Our new search algorithm prioritizes what you're really looking for. Listings with lower vote counts but high confidence and quality signals will surface more often; helping great bots get discovered, even if they're new.
We hope you enjoy the smoother, smarter search experience! Try it out, and let us know what you think and please leave your feedback in the thread below! We're excited to hear what you think, and how we could tweak it to be even better!

Hey y’all! One of the biggest projects we've been working on is getting the platform into a state where we can iterate quickly. One result? A completely re-released servers feature!
Historically, servers were treated as a secondary product. While they looked like they were part of Top.gg, they actually ran on a completely separate system. That’s no longer the case—we’ve rebuilt the entire system and fully integrated it into our main codebase.
This means servers now automatically benefit from all global feature rollouts. No more delays for things like API access, auctions, analytics, and more. Technically, bots and servers are now treated the same under the hood!
We're still in the process of migrating every feature to be platform-independent, so bear with us as this continues to roll out.
To keep servers a safe space, we’ve made major improvements to our trust and safety. Servers now go through manual review if our automated moderation flags them as potentially unsafe. We're also tightening our content standards and upgrading our moderation tools to better enforce our guidelines.

Alongside the server relaunch, we’re introducing Server Tags Discovery!

As you may know webhooks is one of the oldest running features in top.gg, and I'm exploring how webhooks "v2.0" could look like.

New Ticketing System – #staff-ticketsWe’ve polished our ticketing system!
Previously, all support went through the previous #mod-tickets with a simple “Create Ticket” button. Now, with the new #staff-tickets channel, you can open tickets directly with the right team for your needs.
Open tickets with Moderators for reports, ownership transfers, or general concerns.
Open tickets with Reviewers to appeal a bot decline.
Tickets now use dropdowns for multiple options, helping us address your needs faster and more efficiently!
Faster and more organized support, where your ticket goes straight to the right team.
This change will help us handle reports, appeals, and requests more efficiently, while making it easier for the community to get answers without needing to DM staff individually.
Reach out to our team in #staff-tickets if you need assistance!

Hi <@&1402365646800683190> (Formerly <@&1390396857624039485>), we're re-introducing the support server feature. This allows you to highlight your server directly on the sidebar of your bot page.
You can now set any server which shares owners or team as your support server! If you can't find the server you want to use, make sure they're added to the correct team, or shares an owner to the bot.

Hey all! It's been a busy week here at Top.gg, but I'm super excited to let you know that we're coming with tons of new improvements to the website! Ranging from faster load times to new features, and finally a new API version which is cross-platform between bots and servers! Lets go through each new thing one by one to give you a better idea of the changes:
You can now submit your slash commands payload to top.gg, after submitting them you will receive a new tab on your bot page named "Commands". Users will be able to view the documentation for each command and search for commands in this view.
To submit them you can either go to the new "Commands" tab in your dashboard, or use the new commands push api endpoint documented here
We've heard you loud and clear! The lack of being able to reward users for voting is severely hindering you from getting growth, while we're still designing a true, cross-platform approach for webhooks. We wanted to make sure you have some way to disburse rewards in meantime.
For this you can use our new vote check api endpoint documented here. Integrate this in your resident bot to let users disburse rewards, or use this to verify whether someone truly has voted for the bot before handing out any rewards.
One common topic you may have noticed is that all these revolve around the API, which has been something that has not been updated for years at top.gg! I'm very excited to let you know that we have a new version of the API. while still missing a lot of current features the old API had (project search, stats posting for example), it is fully rewritten to make sure that we can scale it out with no issue whatsoever moving forward!
Important to note: the new API does require you to make a new Token, legacy tokens are not supported on this API and will throw an error if you try to use it. On the flip side, new tokens are supported on the legacy API, so you can swap out your legacy token for a new token as soon as today.
As part of our ongoing rewrite of the site, we've solved a ton of visual issues, buggy interactions, and are even experimenting with a whole new way of serving content. This experiment is now available on all homepages in any language for both bots and servers and should load around 3-4x times faster. (your mileage may vary based on your own network conditions though!)
A few notable fixes include: issues on bot and server pages regarding mobile and desktop are no longer occurring, navbar search bar getting stuck should no longer happen.
A lot of this was long overdue, and a lot more will come in the following months. We've been actively working and experimenting on other ideas as well, and very excited to share more soon!
Thanks for reading through all of this, and as always. I'd love to have a conversation below in the thread; and if you're joining the #1409996045676445829, I'd love to talk there as well!

ROTM - August 2025Guess what? It's back! Reviewer of the Month has returned.
Congratulations to @alpine relic who has been killing it lately! She is our <@&923390615989915649> for August.

Hey <@&265125253443878912> @(we still need a server owner role)!
One struggle with Top.gg (to my fault) is the number of duplicate tags there are. I want to clean this up a little and put focus more to simple, small number of tags. You'd still be able to make your own tags to quickly create a new space if neccessary, but we'd show them after a certain threshold.
To alleviate the complexity of these tags, I'd love to separate them into tags and "features". The new part here (features) would allow you to check off any specific details about the bot or server.
e.g. If you're a discord bot that plays music, we'd have a "Feature" to allow you to do 24/7 streaming, rather than having a separate tag page.
There would be two types of features selectable. Platform-specific features, and tag specific features. e.g. "Music" could expand into a handful of features like 24/7 streaming,
In my head the idea looks like this:
# generally available features:
Has Paid Features
# platform-specific features:
(Platform) Discord -> Available as User App
(Type of Listing) Server -> Requires Verification to Enter
# mix of several separate:
(Type of Listing) Bot -> (Tag) Music -> 24 hour support
based on your bot's or server's existing tags, and metadata you will be able to select them, or request a new one to be added.
What do you think?
👍 Great idea
🤔 Has potential, but it depends on xyz (leave your thoughts in the thread please!!)
👎 Bad idea
keen osprey
A new change is going out later today which adds a new rule to your bot/server long description.
html, body, head in your long description; they will automatically be mapped to a div.Apologies if this breaks any of the logic on your page, however we saw a very small number of users actually using them, and it caused them to see buggy, and unintended behaviour mixed with NextJS.

Hi <@&265125253443878912>!
So, earlier this month (#announcements message) we spoke about adding more context to top.gg, I'm very happy we will soon be launching this. For a taste check the image for all the new filters for music bots 
I come here with a question for you: what types of context pieces make sense for your bot or server? I'm aiming to launch with a wide assortment of new feature tags, and to make sure we're properly spread over all creators I want to hear you guys out.
Some examples of features are:
I'd love to hear what you all think on this!
keen osprey
Hey all, this month we're delivering a flurry of new features to top.gg! The flagship this month is our new expanded filtering system for list and tag pages!
This system allows bot developers and server owners to check or select specific options such as "does your bot have a dashboard", "can I use this bot as a user app", "does this server contain partnerships" and highlight these specific things on top.gg directly, this will help us get you the users that are looking for what makes your project yours faster, and more efficiently.
In the new dashboard section called "Features" you can see a list of new filters that are uniquely applicable for your bot or server! Fill them in as accurately as you can; and we will do the magic for you!
We're starting this rollout with 30 new options spread across 10 tags, and will expand this based on creator demand. Please let me know what you'd like to see here. The overall roadmap for this feature is to support more filtering types in the future (e.g. ranges, multiple-choice), but I hope these additional bells and whistles will make your experience finding a bot or server on top.gg better!
You may notice with the new update, new elements are present on the sidebar. We now show a list of recently voted bots. This is an initiaitive to give every vote on the platform a little bit of reach. We'll be testing out more experiences like this to see what works and what doesn't. Ofcourse do let me know your thoughts about this, I'd love to hear them!
As the creator dashboard has been expanding a little bit, we re-structured the sidebar.
That's it for this update. Soon, we have some more pretty huge news which I can't wait to share with y'all. Let's just say, you might want to prepare your acceptance speech.

This December marks a special milestone, Top.gg turns nine years old. For nearly a decade, people have come here to discover new bots, join incredible servers, and build communities that have shaped the internet in ways we never could imagine. From creators pouring their time into projects, to friends finding each other through shared spaces, to the folks keeping things safe and running. It’s been a journey we’ve all been part of. And it felt like the right time to celebrate that, together.
That’s why, on our ninth birthday, we’re doing something we’ve never done before: hosting the very first Top.gg Awards. Ten categories: five for bots, five for servers. Honoring the creativity, connection, safety, and innovation that define our community.
The winners will walk away with more than a trophy and a cash prize. They’ll carry the recognition of an entire generation of builders and players who made this space what it is today.
The best part, you can start nominating your favourite bots and servers right now! Simply go to a project page, and press the "Nominate" button that appeared in the sidebar from today on out!
For more information, please see https://top.gg/awards. This page details everything you need to know. from the categories, to the timelines. Everything is there.
Nine years in, and this is just the beginning. The story of this community has been exhilarating so far, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you. While this is just the beginning of the event, we have many more interesting things to share with you. But all in due time.

Hello everyone! Excited to share the latest Top.gg update with you all. This last cycle of product features really went into discoverability. For users, we have invested greatly in new and improved ways to discover and get more information before you commit to a bot or server. For creators, we've spent a lot of time helping you understand what really happens inside the top.gg machine to get you growth.
Analytics Dashboard Improvements
We rebuilt our analytics engine from the ground up. The old version wasn’t giving creators enough actionable insight, so we replaced it with a realtime, context-aware system that scales and adapts as your project grows. The dashboard has a brand new UI, richer breakdowns, and far more responsive charts.
Like always, with these improvements, they are also released for servers now. Enjoy!
Search Algorithm Upgrade
Search is now significantly better at handling capitalization, diacritics, and non-standard text. In practice, this means you’ll find what you’re looking for faster, and creators should see more consistent search experience.
Aside from that, we now report search visibility back to your analytics panel, this should help understand what people search most to find your project!
Similar Projects
We've re-introduced the "Similar Projects" system on bot and server pages. It’s designed to surface related content more accurately, helping users discover projects like yours even when they weren’t searching for them by name.
Activity Insights for Servers
To help people understand whether a server is active and worth joining, we now show a general activity overview on each server page. We also highlight whether a server is growing quickly or is already among the most active communities on the platform.
Thanks for reading this update, and as always, lets have a conversation in the feedback thread.

This certainly was a big year for Top.gg, but, we're not there yet! Before the year ends I wanted to share a survey to get a better idea of how everyone experiences Top.gg today, how we can improve the platform next year, and really get an idea of which direction the community wants Top.gg to go into.
Please don't hold back and be critical! We want you to be honest and give us strong feedback of what your feelings are towards Top.gg.
This is an anonymous survey (with optional follow-up consent at the end) and I'm personally reading every single submission, so your feedback will not go in vain! Any unstructured feedback may also be given in the usual thread, but please do not avoid doing the survey as this will be my reference point for the next year.

Apologies for the noise during your holidays. I hope you're having a wonderful time! ☕
To finalize our legacy infrastructure migration - moving forward from January 5, 2026, we will be dropping the documented IPs on webhooks as a way to verify authenticity. If you rely on this check, please remove it 🙏
We will publish an updated IP range after the migration which you then can re-implement. In the meantime, ensure your webhook endpoint is authorized using our webhook key feature.

Hello everyone!
As you may know, I’ve been on holiday for the past week and a half, while still keeping an eye on top.gg. During that time, I discovered just how vibrant the Japanese bot developer and server owner community is.
After some delightful conversations, I noticed that the biggest blocker for users in Japan is pretty straight-forward. top.gg isn’t in Japanese.
So, we now have full Japanese language support for the website.
こんにちは, みなさん!
先日, 素晴らしい日本を訪れる機会があり, その間も top.gg の様子をチェックしていました. そこで, 日本のボット開発者やサーバーオーナーのコミュニティがとても活発で, 情熱的であることを改めて知ることができました.
実際にいくつかの方とお話しする中で, 日本のユーザーの皆さんにとって一番大きな課題が, とてもシンプルなものであることに気づきました.
それは, top.gg が日本語に対応していなかったことです.
そこで今回, top.gg は サイト全体の日本語対応 を正式にリリースしました.

Hi everyone!
Based on your votes last year (#announcements message), I'm here to cash in on my promise to listen to the community and from tonight on, votes will no longer reset monthly. Instead we're introducing a sliding window which will take the last 31 days of votes and keep your score consistent.
Expect some wonkiness for a few hours as we promote the infrastructure into production. This was a big change.

Follow-up Changes on Votes | <@&265125253443878912>Hey everyone, we've had a good round of feedback on the new system and caught some bugs. Based on the feedback from creators that I've talked to, we will change the vote expiration time from 31 days to 28 days. This is to better accomodate for top.gg's weekend bonuses.
Thanks for all your feedback, and if you have any more, do not hesitate to bring it up. I love talking to you about top.gg

Reward your usersHey @everyone, I'm very excited to announce our first major update of 2026! We've done some improvements across the board with some highly requested features. Without further ado, lets get right into it!
This one has been requested ever since servers came back, Bots, Servers, and anything else now has full first-class support for webhooks!
Keep in mind, there's quite a few changes involved so I've prepared some resources for y'all to integrate and move over:
One big thing we noticed with the old webhook system is that most server owners are not developers, and this is something that we taken deep care of while designing the new system. So, as a result you can now link your webhooks with your favourite top.gg-integrated bot on Discord. Together with some of your favourite discord bot developers, we've made setting up webhooks for your server as easy as possible!
We're launching integrations with:
Top.gg is now translated in an additional seven languages. Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Korean, Russian, Chinese (Simplified) and Spanish. Furthermore, we plan to bring more of our core feature-set to be first-class for non-English languages, such as bot/server descriptions, and tag localization.
We've replaced the "Recently Voted" list a new "Trending Monthly" list instead. This list updates hourly with viral bots on top.gg! This should help us show off a more varied amount of bots on the front page!
Thanks, and as always - I'd love to hear your feedback in the thread!

Hi <@&265125253443878912>!
As we've been launching more languages on top.gg, We've started facing languages where english is not a commonly understood (secondary) language. With that, I wanted to poll the community once again on something
Should we add the language filter by default? It's a bit of an interesting thing, because it requires you to be a bit more accurate with your listing.

Happy Monday everyone! We've actively been working on some more exciting new improvements while working on longer term projects and wanted to make sure your experience stays up to our standards as you browse and edit your pages on top.gg. That's why we decided to do a quick polish update containing some heavy hitter bugs and features you've been letting us know about!
We now show you a new modal which shows you asks you to verify your transfer, this modal contains the recipient team or user that will receive the app to help you ensure the project ends up in the right hands!
The team has been working tirelessly to find out what caused some of the dreaded caching issues on top.gg, and I'm more than happy to report that you can now update your project pages in near-realtime! I've not been able to hit a cached version after an update myself!
Our new trending list has made it to its own list page, this helps you understand how your project stands in the trending system compared to all other projects of the same type!
To make sure you stay up to date with actively developed bots and communities - we've added a new sort mode which allows you to sort by the most recently updated projects. These get sorted by the last time a bot posted an update announcement to top.gg, we're also working hard to upgrade the tooling for your updates - more on this soon! 🗣️
You can now find servers by server tag collection; we're starting with four individual tag collection that are dynamically generated based on your tag. Cute, Aesthetic, Edgy, and Gaming tags. We'd love to hear your feedback on this new overhaul, and would love to learn more about what you would like to see here!
We've done a lot of changes under the hood to ensure we ensure our systems stay reliable during large changes. Expect things to move forward and upwards from here at an even more rapid pace! I'd also love to bring attention to our awesome <@&1449029132724994279>s for helping us spot 35+ new bugfixes! You guys rock!

Staff Picks - Q1 2026 - <@&1390396857624039485>Every quarter, our volunteer staff team highlights a few standout bots discovered while reviewing new submissions or exploring the many hidden gems already listed on Top.gg. Whether they're fun, innovative, or just surprisingly useful - these bots left an impression. Today, we bring to you some cool projects to kick off 2026!
** IdleQuest by @sharp vale** - Top.gg Page
IdleQuest began as a dark fantasy idle RPG built as a Discord bot - a game you could return to over time, progress at your own pace, and experience alongside a community. But some projects don't just grow, they evolve.
Through consistent updates, strong design, and a clearly passionate team, IdleQuest has grown beyond its original scope. Now, the team is taking its next step, transforming the project into a full cross-platform game with a new name - Ephen: The Forsaken Realm.
To the IdleQuest team: congratulations on what you've built, and how far you've come, we're excited to see what comes next!
Pridebot by @livid fossil - Top.gg Page
Pridebot, developed by Sdriver1, is a multifunction LGBTQ+ Discord bot designed to improve understanding of LGBTQIA+ identities through a wide range of informative commands covering sexualities, genders, pronouns, and related topics, while also helping users explore and better understand their own identities.
Beyond education, Pridebot features a fully customizable profile system that lets users showcase their identities and preferences, and an Avatar editor with 60+ flags. It also provides helpful resources for coming out, mental health, and gender discovery through testers and communities. In addition, Pridebot includes a variety of fun, interactive commands that users can enjoy with friends, helping create an engaging community experience.
Cookie by @left cedar - Top.gg Page
Cookie is a simple economy bot, designed to engage users into a world of baking cookies. Members of our community can work together to grow with one another through our marriage and trading systems. Or they can compete with each other and look into the world of competition, moving up the scoreboards and showing what it takes to run a successful baking kitchen the right way. Cookie also prides itself in making sure everyone is playing fair and has introduced a reasonable verification system, which allows everyone to know their time within the Cookie economy is taken serious. We don’t want any fake cookies here…
Every year we hold events to boost everyone’s stats, with December being a big time in our economy. With Santa hunts, Christmas quests and event related items, we see lots of activity taking part. Cookie is a place where everyone can grow in their own way, with or without others, exploring everything sweet and home-worthy.
Well done to our Q1 Staff Picks!

Top.gg Selection Process Conclusion - <@&968940572733743134>// OPTIMAL ENTITY IDENTIFIED```
**The Top.gg Selection Process has concluded.**
The community has identified @slow cedar as the most optimal entity - [#events message](/guild/264445053596991498/channel/1449199505638559764/p/1449827501164462233/#msg-1490093927662096545).
Over the past few days:
- 88 participants took part in the process, with each of you being granted a special role which cannot be obtained again.
- A total of 533 decisions were made.
But the most important stat of all? 53 of you chose to eliminate Moderator @timber fractal.
Thank you for participating in this year's April Fools event, to finish off, we will be banning all 88 of you.
Until next time!Hey @everyone! We've been shipping a mix of foundational improvements and some long-awaited features over the last cycle. A lot of this work sets us up for what's coming next, while also fixing some very real pain points today. Lets get into it right away!
You can now set filters before even entering the search page, so you can jump straight into the exact type of bots or servers you're looking for.
Filters are also now clearly visible in-search, so you always know what the current page is filtering by if there is no filter present for it in the sidebar.
We’re starting to roll out automatic syncing of platform data across supported platforms. To kick things off, Discord server names and member counts will now stay in sync automatically.
This is just the start here, expect more stats and deeper integrations as we continue expanding this system.
Banners are finally back, and this time for both bots and servers. This means you can now upload images directly to use as your background instead of using external image hosts.
We’ve fully refreshed our developer documentation and improved how you interact with our API.
Alongside that, we’ve added three new capabilities to api/v1:
server_count from v0) through the v1 APIThis also lays the groundwork for upcoming features around localized content such as translating your project descriptions across languages automatically. You can view the new docs.top.gg right now! Of course we also have a new docs repository.
Now that the V1 API contains all the required capabilities - I'd also like to mention that we're officially deprecating the old JS API. This transitionary period will be very long, so make no hasteful changes, But expect us to start removing the documentation over the next months. For now, there is no planned date where we remove the endpoints however.
Thanks for reading, and as always, I’d love to hear what you think in the feedback thread.

As of this year, top.gg now supports 16 languages. With such a large list of languages, keeping translations both clear, respectful, and accurate over time is an ongoing challenge.
That's why we’re looking for proofreaders to help us catch issues and improve quality before they hit the site! The following languages need some additional help on proofreading:
If you’re fluent in any of the above languages and care about all things translated, you can apply here

Xiuh's 6th Anniversary - <@&1416135379198935140>Today is a magnificent day, one where we celebrate the 6 year anniversary of @slow cedar!
Having grown through almost every part of the platform and community, there are very few people who understand Top.gg the way she does. From working her way up as a Reviewer, Moderator, Community Manager, and now as Community Operations Lead - Xiuh is one of the driving forces and part of the foundation that makes Top.gg what it is today.

Hey, tiny update for y'all - we've done a lot of wiring under the hood and unlocked a few cool features!
No matter where you are in the world, browsing top.gg should feel a lot snappier now. In some regions, pages that used to take up to 5 seconds to load are now showing up in around 200 milliseconds. Enjoy the speed boost!
Until now, search only really worked well with Latin characters, so if you were searching in any non-Latin script, you were mostly out of luck. Not anymore! Search now understands every language, so you can find what you're looking for no matter how you type it.
While submitting your server to top.gg, we now give you an option to create the invite right in the app. This should help speed up your workflow when submitting your server!
Thanks for reading, and as always, I’d love to hear what you think in the feedback thread.

Volunteer of the Month - April 2026 - <@&1416135379198935140>It is time to announce this month's Volunteer of the Month! 
This month's Volunteer of the Month recognition goes to someone who, despite joining the team fairly recently, has already made themselves at home within the team and consistently goes above and beyond in their responsibilities as a reviewer. Alongside their reviewing work, they have also been helping out in support and assisting newer trial reviewers. Their willingness to support both community members and fellow volunteers has not gone unnoticed, and they have quickly become a valued part of the team.
Congratulations and well done to ... @gleaming dagger!

Small update for our <@&1416135379198935140> -
When you have a project approved on our website, you'll automatically receive the Project Creator role in this Discord. You'll also receive a project specific role, either Discord Bot Creator, Discord Server Creator, or Roblox Game Creator, or all three if you have all three types of projects! We're currently going through all members of the server to retroactively apply these roles as well, so you'll see them appearing over the next week or so. Thank you for being a part of our community!
Also May the Fourth be with you!

This major Top.gg platform update is focused on making the core experience better for both creators and communities. We’ve added richer project announcements, a new comparison page, a /vote command for the Discord bot, improvements to the Discord server submission flow, and a long list of fixes across the platform.
Our updates system has been expanded into a richer announcement system.
Project owners can now publish more complete updates directly on Top.gg, with better formatting and more room to explain what changed, what’s coming next, or what their community should know about.
Whether you’re sharing a changelog, launching a feature, posting event news, or keeping your users in the loop, announcements now give your project a better place to communicate.
This announcement was actually written in the new system, and then copied into discord! Read it in more detail here: https://top.gg/discord/servers/542872899913408512/announcements/841745512699322368
We’ve worked hard over the years to give project owners more ways to describe what they offer. Now, users can use that information to make more confident decisions.
The new compare page lets you look at bots, servers, and other projects side by side, making it easier to understand differences in features, activity, and key project details without jumping between pages.
/vote command for Discord serversVoting should be easy to find where communities already are.
The Top.gg Discord bot now supports a new /vote command, giving server members an easy way to both see whether they can vote, and a quick call to action to the voting page inside Discord!
Any bot connected to this Discord server using the "Support Server" setting will also automatically be listed! I hope this will make voting feel more natural for communities and gives project owners another easy way to encourage support.
We’ve improved the submit server flow with automatic invite creation, making it easier to connect your server to Top.gg and reducing one of the common setup steps during submission.
Finding a project is only the first step. We want Top.gg to help users make informed decisions and stay connected with the bots and communities they care most about. And as always, there's a thread to talk with us about feedback and your thoughts of this update directly! The team and I truly care about this platform, bots, and communities, so we'd love to hear what you think, how we could make your experience better, and what we can do to help you succeed!

For any of you wondering you could probably guess https://discordbots.org was not affected by cloudbleed 
@everyone Today is a beautiful day the frontend for the site has been improved and updated, this includes some of the following features, new navigation bar code and design, work in progress mobile support and many bug fixes that have been pointed out to me in #267327844357636097 With the new navigation bar in place it currently uses different code so people who have themed their bot pages to interact with the navigation bar, your bot profile page will be broken/not working so we advise you remove/edit the code to fix this. Mobile support is currently live with lots of small issues which will be fixed shortly but no massive issues that I am aware of, though please if you find any big problems or problems I might not have noticed please post screenshots in #267327844357636097 with the device you are viewing with etc and I will do my best to see to your issue. We also changed the front page background because why not it's a new year 🎊 
go show the artist some love. ❤ https://www.behance.net/gamerado
misty nebula
It's update time @everyone everyone 😄 I am sure you are all excited as I am, as you may or may not know the front page has always been, meh, not very good for acutally working on all devices. Now it's amazing, it.. it works on everything! (hopefully) Beautiful I must say, well the compatibility that is, the content might not be 😛 Alot of the issues have been fixed that looked bad on monitors where resolutions were not 1080p, for example, text going under the navigation bar, this has all been fixed on 4:3 resolutions and mobile resolutions. The navigation bar has also been changed a bit because why not. We now have https://discordbots.org/privacy & https://discordbots.org/tos By logging into the site after The 4th of March 2017 at 6:00pm GMT you agree to the new terms of service, of course this site is not released so expect changes to be made in the future, so no worries there 😄 and as always the site is not finished so if you find anything wrong post it in #267327844357636097 with the name of your browser etc 👍🏻 thanks for being apart of the development of this site

Requirements for Certified Bot:
Note: Bot approval is not the same as Certified Bot and is optional

@everyone Hola fellow developers and lurkers. Our bot verification scheme is coming to a bot list near you and we have a question for you all: For your bot to get the verified status should there be a form to apply, or should we give it out at our discretion with no application. React with the letter 🇦 if you think we should have an application. React with 🇧 if you think we should hand out verification at our discretion. Sorry for the tag, thanks for sticking with us 😄

@everyone 2 tags in one day!?! Outrageous I know, but we are looking for server moderators! We currently aren’t in need of website moderators yet, but this could change, so keep an eye out 👀 . We think our current community is kinda cool, but bad things sometimes happen and we need mods who are “chill” but can also punish people appropriately and not mishandle situations, if you think you can’t do that, please don’t apply :3
For the rest of you! Here you are https://goo.gl/forms/nRyjaRTEiQ36BQPt2 Please answer the questions as best you can! pls no hurt we don’t everyone tag a lot ❤

@everyone Thank you all for applying, we appreciate you putting the time aside to fill out an application, as Tonkku said above we were reviewing applications earlier today and a lot of them are very good and we are ashamed we can’t let you all moderate, because then who would you moderate? 👻 PMs will go out tomorrow some from me and some from Luca to inform you what we have decided, and for the recent applicants we will be reviewing all your applications before we start sending PMs tomorrow. Thank you again for applying!

@everyone It’s a brand new day, I didn’t believe it at first, but here I am, announcing the removal of the downvote option, we have thought a lot about this decision and we think it’s the way to go, we have taken the liberty to remove all downvotes that were already on the site. We think this will be better to stop people downvoting without sufficient reason and random abuse 👀 Today we also added report functionality, you may have noticed that there has been a report button on the profile for a while, but now it actually works, please note, bots being offline is not a reason to report we have plans in the future for always offline bots and generally we don’t remove ‘copied’ bots, we plan to be only strict on those in our verified program which is coming soon ™ Thanks for reading, more changes soon 😄
misty nebula
@everyone Hey people of the 21st century, we have an exciting new program just for you! You can feel the enthusiasm in my voice as you are reading this! Today we release the certification program to you lovely bot developers! https://discordbots.org/certification has all the information and requirements to apply for the program, we wish you all the best of luck. This will be the last everyone tag for now, because we know you all dislike getting pinged, smaller updates will be announced, just without pings. Bigger updates coming soon though ™
misty nebula
We have now unlocked general.
misty nebula
Important note: API keys have been reset
misty nebula
Another Important Note, Certification 3 day limit is in place
misty nebula
Another kinda big note: Sometimes we are kind, sometimes not, don't risk using JS with any loopholes in your description or I am just going to ban you. THIS MEANS NO JS AT ALL (unless you are certified, which no one is yet)
cold geode
^^ please DM me the loopholes tho so we can fix. Pretty please...
misty nebula
The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service have now been updated https://discordbots.org/privacy https://discordbots.org/tos
misty nebula
Regarding Certification: The requirements are the base you have to have to apply, then we take all other factors into consideration and this takes a while, so don't worry, your bot hasn't been declined if you haven't had a message, if your bot is declined you will get a PM from Luca
misty nebula
Hey people of the internet, boy do I have life changing news for you!

So we are thinking of making a Patreon, just because neither of us have consistent inflows of cash, the goals wouldn't be that much at all, it's just because of what little money I have I don't want to be paying without a consistent inflow, so it would be very nice for the website to sustain its self. Obviously we would offer perks but it would be very considerate of you to pledge if we did that, it's either that or we add advertisements which a lot of people block, would ruin the experience, and I hate them. Please leave a thumbs up if you agree, if you have any questions tag us in #general thank you
misty nebula
Hey people of the discord world we have decided to make a Patreon! All our reasons are explained above and on the Patreon site, the perks are all working and in place, you get the perks instantly through Patreon but your payment method isn't instant and you only get charged at the beginning of every month so if we find you using perks then canceling payments when you are due to pay we will blacklist you, basically don't be a prick, if you have new ideas for perks tag us in #general https://www.patreon.com/discordbots We will add an option to access these perks by using PayPal very soon.

Hey, I just added a new API endpoint for bot owners.
GET /api/bots/:id/votes
This endpoint will give you an array of objects with the username, discrim, id and avatar hash of users that have upvoted your bot (as of their last login).
If you only want an array of IDs, pass anything to the onlyids querystring param. (example ?onlyids=1)
You can use this endpoint for adding features to your bot that only those who upvoted can use, or just to feed your general data hunger. Remember to use your token if you're doing this from your bot.
@burnt jay @red hawk
misty nebula
Hey People! The Medal API is now public ( https://bot.gomedal.com/#medal-api ) so you can now intergrate clips into your own bots 👍🏻

@everyone
We are moving to bot specific tokens for the API. You can generate new "bot" tokens from the bot edit page or from the API documentation page. You have until Oct. 17th to update the token as on that date we will be disabling the old user tokens from stat posting.
(I am not talking about Discord bot tokens btw)
After this we will be dropping the bot ID from the URL because we can get that from a bot token.
However, we will keep the ID as an option so you don't have to change that.
@green elk has also been promoted to website moderator 🎉
misty nebula
Hello people of discord a.k.a @everyone 👋🏻 it's me, you probably already know that, I'm here today to present you with an opportunity, we are looking for new moderators and website moderators 😄 If you think you have what it takes, take a minute or two out of your day to fill in our application form, applications close on Sunday 9pm BST / 4 pm EDT / 1 pm PDT, if you can't figure out your timezone make it easier for us and use something like https://www.worldtimebuddy.com, have a nice day 😄 https://goo.gl/forms/45LsIutvjkQ3c6GI2

Our new homepage design will be live, with more pages coming later on, we hope you like it as much as we do, obviously we can’t see all the errors and might have missed some so if you find anything on the frontpage that you think might be an error, tell us in #267327844357636097 thank you for being a part of our community ❤ @everyone https://discordbots.org

PSA - I see a lot of people making great designs for their bot profiles and wanting to redesign, we would recommend against that, if you don't already know we are in the process of redesigning the site and bot profile redesign is coming very soon, we are trying to not destory all your creations with the profiles but we are unsure how to go about it yet so please hold tight 
misty nebula
@everyone
Hello community, clearing up some confusion really quick:
as many of you know, our site hit #1 in Google. As a result, our traffic grew by about 10x. I'm sure you have all seen a lot more joins in your servers.
as a result, we have to pay a lot more hosting, especially with all the new features we are adding that require a lot more computing power than just regular web hosting
as a result, we are partnering with very respected companies to help us pay for this expansion. In the end, we will all benefit from this.
I understand some of you may be offended by this, but this is the right move in order to support further growth of discordbots.org. We will try to be more transparent about changes beforehand in the future.
Super excited to be #1 and finally give all discord users the bot platform they deserve.
cold geode
@everyone
While all this redesigning is going on, let's take a break and enjoy a new feature for once: Widgets
You can place this widget on your website, github readme or wherever you want to display your bot's stats.
You can find widgets at the bottom of your bot's edit page.
Please note: Widgets are now required for all new certifications. (Everyone already certified doesn't have to implement widgets, but come on they're nice)
Oh yeah, we also redesigned the certification info page but honestly, who cares at this point?
If you encounter any bugs, report them in #267327844357636097 please :)
Have fun with widgets!
They also come in different shapes and sizes!
misty nebula
Hey hey hey - quick update for you guys who wanted to be able to edit the widget colors, you are now able to via a query string, minimal documentation can be found here https://discordbots.org/api/docs here is an example of a white theme small widget https://discordbots.org/api/widget/lib/264811613708746752.png?leftcolor=C9C9C9&rightcolor=FFFFFF&lefttextcolor=35383D&righttextcolor=3A3E42

New bot profiles are now in beta
Head on over to https://discordbots.org/beta for more information.
Make sure to update your descriptions in the beta before the release currently scheduled for New Year's eve
Some feedback would also be appreciated in #267327844357636097 but keep it chill and on topic. I don't want to read lots of useless emoji reactions or lols...
If something looks wrong do a hard reload first.
Spread the news! I know some people don't have mentions enabled. Would be a shame to have their bot pages broken...

Hey just wanted to let you all know in the beta profiles we moved the owners above the long description, in the old layout for some reason I had in my head that it was below the description, apologies for this, we have moved it above the long description now <3, make sure to ctrl + f5 to hard refresh. I also added a code block for the bot prefix to make it more clear. https://i.imgur.com/rbkDduM.png

Hey DBL aka @everyone ! This day a year ago this website and server was born, it's been a long journey over the past year and we've learnt a lot. I'd like to thank all our moderators, past and present, for all their hard work which they do completely unpaid. We would also like to thank all of the bot developers and users. Without all of you we wouldn't have a site! A quick reminder to all bot developers who haven't checked out their bot's beta profile, please make sure it is compatible with the beta because it will be going live very soon!
To celebrate our birthday we will be hosting multiple giveaways in #396380819729678336. We will be giving out steam codes and apparel so make sure to get involved! Thank you all again for being with us and we hope to keep bringing amazing features for you and your bots in 2018!

misty nebula
Hey for #396380819729678336 if you win multiple you will be able to pick which prize you want but then we will pick another winner for the other giveaway you won 😛
misty nebula
Just some more clarification for the giveaway we will stop the addition of new giveaway items at midnight today (30th GMT). When the giveaways begin to end and winners are picked we will contact you asking if you want the prize you then have 24 hours to respond, if you do respond you will receive your prize. If you do not respond in 24 hours we will reroll that giveaway. If you win a giveaway there is no point contacting us first, we will contact you as soon as your prize is ready!

There it is, the beta has now replaced the old profile pages 😃

Hey! There have been a lot of @everyone tags recently but I think it's time for one of the better pings you will get from this server, today we have a few new things in store for you 😄
- We have officially added the tag system!
You can now go into the edit section of your bot and assign different tags to your bot that represent the features your bots contain. Tags will enable us to better serve our users in finding the bots they really want. We strongly recommend going to https://discordbots.org and adding tags to your bot, to increase your chances of being found on the site!
- We have vastly improved search
The horrible advanced search has now moved to search options within the search bar. Not everything is visible in the dropdown (yet?) though so here's a nice tip: You can search for owner: username to find someone's bots.
Note: This also changes the search in the API
- New CSS
The look of the website has been updated a bit. Some small changes on the bot profile might've broken some of your css.
Oh and if you feel like we're missing a tag, don't forget to tell us about it in #267327844357636097

Check out the full release information here, it contains a lot more relevant information about this update and the future of voting. https://discordbots.org/blog/post/voting-changes-new-api-docs-and-more @everyone

Hey Dbots Community!
Voting Updates!
Today we are rolling out part 2 of our big voting update. This update gives the site more meaning for users visiting it to discover new bots every day. It also gives newer bots a chance to compete against the big guys on the list. Starting today, we are introducing a new section to the home page - "Trending New Bots". Your brand new bot will show up here as long as it has 20 votes.
If you hadn't seen it already, we also launched a web hook to make implementing vote rewards easier than ever earlier this week: https://discordbots.org/api/docs#webhooks - implementing Voting with Discord Bots should now be a matter of minutes and not days! Our servers will simply ping your server with user data once a vote comes in, instead of you having to constantly check.
The much awaited launch of the Dark Theme! Simply toggle the switch at the bottom of the page to unleash your darkest secrets. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/410913792218759189/414737351294713856/2018-02-18_18-50-22.gif
We've loosened regulations on new bots, allowing a lot more types of bots through (as long as they are not direct clones or break any of the rules). For instance, in order for us not to consider your bot a clone, you have to add 1 unique feature from the original source code. If you previously were rejected, please re-apply.
This update is one step further to our vision of leveling the playing field for the best quality Discord Bots for @everyone, and we hope you like it! Remember to post feedback in the #414124730715734068 channel and not to spam general, since we will become a bit stricter on enforcing our rules.

Hello!
Today is time for another update, probably your least favorite one of the century. As you guys know, we've grown like crazy in the past year. You've also noticed that the site has been going down, and that we are releasing a ton of updates that make the discord bots ecosystem better and fairer, including voting, a new design, a new homepage, tags, and more. In order to scale our site and get all those things done, we've had to get more help. And... as you guys know, nothing in life is free.
We've decided to put a very minimal amount of ads on the site to make up for that. We love Discord's ideology that ads shouldn't be your primary business model, and they won't be. We have a ton of updates in the works that ensure that you guys will not become overwhelmed with ads like other sites have. We'll keep it to a minimum, but we need to do it to cover our expenses every month.
I'm excited about the future and everything we have planned. This will be a great year for us and I look forward to helping you guys grow your bots to hundreds of thousands of servers.
In the near future, we will also launch the ability to support the site and remove ads for a little contribution like sites such as TrackerNetwork, etc
misty nebula
Hey guys another quick thing, we know some of you guys already supported us through our patreon! We can't thank you enough for doing that. But we found our patreon system to be outdated. We set it up ages ago when this was more of a hobby for us, we are now hoping to achieve bigger things as well as the fact that over half of the patreon pledges we got each month were either being declined or rejected for fraud leaving us with such a little amount. So we have taken action and removed our patreon and all ways of supporting for now. We are planning on adding a better system in the future though, including removal of ads and other perks, so stay tuned!

Hello @everyone,
Webhooks just got an upgrade. You can now verify that the requests are coming from us with a custom Authorization header (Go check the docs and the edit page).
You can also receive the query string parameters on the /vote page via the webhook. Now you can... idk, post a message to the channel the vote came from or something. So if a user goes to /bot/:id/vote?channel_id=123 and votes, your webhook will have a query parameter containing ?channel_id=123. Have fun with it.
I would also like to remind you that the monthly votes reset in 2 days so get ready.

Hey everyone!
Oliy, Tonkku and myself have taken your feedback and contributions into consideration and have decided after thorough discussion to adjust the rules on our API documentation.
https://discordbots.org/api/docs#votes
Please if you use our API, we highly suggest you re-read these rules and understand our changes.
Thank you again for your contributions to discordbots.org 
misty nebula
Hey DBL!
After great feedback and implementation by bots such as Pokecord, Pbot, and others, we have decided to roll the monthly voting system out across the entire site.
This means that under every tag, your bot now has the chance to compete for the top spot. This is important, because when you google "Discord {tag} bot", we are #1 for pretty much every tag, so by getting to #1 for your top tags would mean your bot gets the most joins for that search term on Google. From our initial calculations, we've seen increases of 200-500 joins per day for top bots.
This sums up why we started discordbots - to give every bot developer a shot at competing for the top. Now, you and your community can show what you're made of and claim the top spots for the tags that your bot is great at.
Aside from tens of thousands of server joins - for the winners of the overall most voted bot and "Music" category bot, we are going to send out the following hoodie every month. It will be completely free of charge and will come with a hand written note from us. ( You can't get these prizes twice 😮 )
The site now has millions of users, and if you haven't implemented voting yet to compete for these top spots, you are most definitely missing out on thousands of joins per month, so make sure you implement voting here. It's as simple as receiving a webhook on your bot server when every vote is complete. https://discordbots.org/api/docs#webhooks
Also, make sure that you comply with our rules around voting. Discord is an awesome place for everyone and we'd like to keep it that way. You can read them here: https://discordbots.org/api/docs#votes
Also, follow us on twitter to keep informed on bot activity ;)
https://twitter.com/discordbotlist
We also added two new tags 👀

Hey Discord Bot List,
Today we are launching our new merch store! It's been requested a lot by you guys and we decided it was another good way for the community to support the development of DBL and get cool stuff! Here is a link to the new merch store https://teespring.com/stores/discord-bot-list and here is a link our new super cool hoodie you guys expressed interest in. https://teespring.com/dbl-hoodie-new. You can use code "BOTS" for 10% off ALL items in our store until Saturday! If you think we are missing something from our merch store, come and mention it on our discord in the #414124730715734068 channel. https://imgur.com/a/e3pjJ
We are also setting a limit on tags as of today. We feel that for a lot of the tags the same bots are always on top, that is why we have introduced a limit of 6 tags per bot. We think 6 tags is a good number to enable you to summarise your bots best features and to help prevent the abuse of our tag system.
We are advising all bot developers who currently have more than 6 tags allocated to their bot to go and remove tags from their bot so it has exactly six tags or less. If your bot tags are not six or less by Friday (23/03/18) all the tags from your bot will automatically be removed.
This suggestion is important to us, lots of users that forget/don't know how to switch accounts get confused logging in, so adding switch accounts feature will benefit us and the perfect experience we are trying to create as well as many other Discord applications which would be thankful for this. If you have a second please vote for this:

Hey, we're aware of an issue with our servers causing an outage, we currently believe it is important maintenance on our servers for the spectre and meltdown patches. We're sorry to inconvenience you all, we can hopefully get the service back up ASAP!
misty nebula
Sorry everyone, we're back up now! 😄

⚠ Reminder that if your bot still has over six tags currently, all of your bots tags will be removed tomorrow (23/03/18) For information regarding this, see the most recent announcement where @ everyone is tagged.

ℹ Monthly Votes reset in 7 Days! Make sure to also familiarise yourself with our voting rules for developers 
https://discordbots.org/api/docs#votes

We know recently due to our massive growth our current infrastructure has taken some massive performance hits so we're working hard to fix these issues.
To help us achieve this we are going to start the deprecation of some endpoints that we feel are not optimised and aren't necessarily needed. This is why we are advising you to switch to web hook usage for voting rewards, it's more efficient for everyone! More information can be found here: https://discordbots.org/api/docs#webhooks
In the next 24 hours, we will be deprecating the /votes endpoint for bots that currently receive more than 1000 votes per month. We're really sorry for the short notice but this endpoint is causing massive bottlenecks on our servers at the moment. It benefits everyone if you switch over to web hooks.
This month's votes will also end a few days early so we can switch over to a more efficient system, but we assure your total votes are safe 😃
We hope to fix all these performance issues in the coming days and have things running smoothly by tomorrow. Expect some downtime today of up to 30 minutes. Thank you all for your cooperation. @everyone
misty nebula
⚠ Important, please read for all updates https://discordbots.org/blog/post/major-voting-and-api-changes-march-hoodie-winners

Other information:
Users can no longer "unvote" once they have voted they can only vote again in 24hrs.
Ratelimits for /stats and other endpoints are very harsh at the moment and will become more lenient tomorrow

From this moment onwards you can list your discord servers with us! https://discordbots.org/servers/
Check out https://discordbots.org/servers/new to get started while also joining our new discord server for the list here: https://discord.gg/ntYCKKC
Our growth has been amazing in the past month and we’ve become one of the biggest sites on discord to integrate this heavily into their service. That’s one of the biggest reasons we’ve decided to start serving the server communities on discord as well 😃 Our server list can detect the bots in your servers as well as bot pages and developers be able to list servers they want to promote, we’ve worked hard to integrate both our bot listing and server listing to benefit as many people as we can.
Tell your dog, your friends and everyone to add their server to https://discordbots.org/servers/ votes will be coming for servers in the coming days and hopefully analytics for your bots and servers soon™ !

Hey DBL! @everyone
Today I can finally share some huge news that I've had to withhold from you for a while. We've been in talks with Amazon for a few months and can finally announce a massive partnership with them.
DBL processes 100k+ votes a day, and we've always strived to make voting as easy and seamless as possible since so many of our users do it. Our new partnership with Amazon enables this in a way we never thought was possible. We're taking voting for your favorite bots (and soon servers) to the real world. Today, you will be able to purchase the Amazon DBL button directly from the DBL homepage, and later this week also on amazon and directly from Twitch. For example, you can place a vote button on your desk, under your bed, or anywhere else. No more need to fire up the website to vote daily for your favorite bots, now you can do it anywhere, anytime.
As you can imagine I'll be quite busy with this over the next few weeks. Amazon is a huge company and I would love to work closer with them, this is a first step in that direction.
Thank you for helping us grow this site so big that we can partner with companies like amazon. It's such an honor to be here.
THE FIRST 50 PURCHASES WILL GET 20% OFF AT CHECKOUT https://discordbots.org/votebuttons

Hi guys, a small change that will improve the quality of the server.
Myself and the management team have decided that the Muted role should be more punishing.
If you have the Muted role you will no longer be able to talk in #265156361791209475 or #memes-and-media.
Also we've decided to harden down on the bot abuse in #265156361791209475 with bans. This obviously includes other channels and voice channels (This includes spamming the bots or causing long loops.)

Hey, normally we don't like to get too involved with politics, but I just wanted to quickly remind everyone, that the EU are trying to break our internet 
The European Commission and the Council want to destroy the Internet as we know it and allow big companies to control what we see and do online. Should Article 13 of the Copyright Directive proposal be adopted, it will impose widespread censorship of all the content you share online. The European Parliament is the only one that can step in and Save your Internet.

Hey guys, a quick update on the last #rules-and-info announcement.
We forgot to add a change that we believe is quite important.
Bots in the queue will be declined if they:
• Allow NSFW content (including but not limited to the Urban Dictionary, links that source to pornographic material) outside of NSFW channels.
Bots will NOT be deleted from the website if they have commands such as "Urban Dictionary", but we strongly urge you to update it so it will only display in NSFW channels to prevent issues in the future.
Although we may mute them temporarily until your command has been updated or other.

Big announcement <@&265125253443878912>
Introducing Discord Bots Partners: a way to help bot owners monetize their bots and explain them better to server owners.
DISCORD BOTS PARTNERS
Not everybody will qualify as a Discord Bots Partner: a minimum of 2000 votes a month is required. But, if you qualify, you will be able to add explainer videos onto your bot page and monetize your bot and voting page traffic.
Apply for Partnership: https://goo.gl/forms/J1A6fjyUtQe6oq1r2
Explainer Videos
We're adding video to bot pages. Discord Bots Partners will be able to add videos explaining the functionality of their bot in order to help them get into more servers. If you don’t have an explainer video, we will backfill it with other gaming related content.
Monetization
We understand hosting and paying for your bot is hard. So, we set out to solve this problem by helping bot owners monetize their audience better. We offer two routes to monetization for those who qualify as Discord Bots Partners:
A large percentage of revenue generated through these spots will be transferred to partnered bot owners. The only thing that is required from partnered bots is a deep integration with voting, since this will be your main driver of revenue. So, if you haven’t already, start implementing it today and start collecting them in order to qualify for a partnership.
Bot owners now have the opportunity to turn their bot and voting pages into an instant revenue stream, and automatically help pay for making their bots better.
Apply for Partnership: https://goo.gl/forms/J1A6fjyUtQe6oq1r2
All the best,
Oliy

Hey guys - Quick update, we've seen your response to our recent update and we've decided to lower our requirement boundaries. To apply you now need at least 2000 votes a month and we removed the server limit.
misty nebula
EXPLAINER VIDEO UPDATE
Due to the feedback we've received over the weekend, we are now opening up the video space on bot pages to everyone. To repeat, this is not just for Discord Bots Partners any more: every bot owner can add tutorials for their bots onto their bot page, with no vote or server requirement.
To add an explainer video:
Thanks <@&265125253443878912>

Today we have removed all NSFW content. We have come to the conclusion that it is something we do not want to support.
What this means:
If you currently have a NSFW tagged bot it will not appear anywhere on the website until you have removed both the NSFW tag and any NSFW references from your bot page.

VOTING MULTIPLIER UPDATE
Hey <@&265125253443878912> Today we're making a few big changes to help give all bots a better chance to fight for the top spots.
Weekend Voting Multiplier
Votes count double on the weekend! On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, users votes count as two votes each.
Multiplier API Endpoint
We have added an API endpoint to check whether the weekend multiplier is active. This is so you can implement better rewards for voting on weekends. Information about it can be found here: https://discordbots.org/api/docs#votes-multiplier
Vote Every 12 Hours
We have also gone ahead and changed the interval between users being able to vote to 12 hours, instead of 24. This is to address issues such as users voting at 9pm and then not being able to vote at 9am the next day.
Thanks, Oliy

**REDESIGNED USER PROFILES 🎉 **
misty nebula
Hello @everyone! Today we have a massive announcement to make.
One year ago, we set out to help bot owners get their bots discovered. And today, over ONE MILLION server joins come through Discord Bot List every month. To give you a perspective - that’s as much every month as total amount of servers Mee6 is in. Needless to say, we’ve succeeded at this mission and started thinking further.
The biggest problem we’ve heard from the community is that you are unable to monetize your bots in order to pay for server hosting and development. We’ve heard your concerns and today we’re proud to announce that we’re going to help you solve this problem as well.
As many of you know, we’ve launched Donate Bot in alpha last month. Initially it was a challenge to get security where it needs to be in order to process payments, but after collective efforts from our entire team, we’ve now processed more than TEN THOUSAND dollars in donations for bot developers and server owners just like you in our first month, and we’ve managed to patch up any security issues we had on alpha launch.
Therefore - I’m proud to announce Donate Bot is entering Beta stages and that we’ve added donate buttons to bot (And soon server) pages that let people directly donate to your bot with the same simplicity as they can invite them or vote. The people donating do not have to be in your discord server - we've built a system that lets you reward them by logging in with Discord and send you webhooks, and we've also enabled recurring payments for those that fancy monthly recurring income!
You can enter your donate bot donation link by editing your bots profile and find more information on how to get started here https://developers.donatebot.io/
Thank you, and feel free to DM me with any questions

Hey @everyone , as you know we have grown a lot over the past year and with that has been lots of updates. As we transitioned from a small community to a bigger operation there have been many changes which might not have been completely explained or something you have concerns about that aren't fit for our issue tracker. This is why we have decided to host a public get together.
The purpose of this:
In this get together we aim to answer and address all of the concerns we can! For various reasons we might have to refuse to answer some questions but we will certainly try our best to listen and address all the feedback we get!
Join us in the General Voice channel at 2pm BST! on the 16th of October https://itsalmo.st/dbl-get-together

Hey everyone! I have some awesome news. Today I'm excited to announce that we're now the #1 bot AND server list on Google, completing our mission to become to the leading platform for discovering anything on Discord. We're sitting at about 10 times the size of anyone else!
To celebrate this, we're giving away $500 to the #1 bot, $250 to the #2 bot, and $100 to 3 randomly chosen bots with over 1000 upvotes for the next 2 months. Voting resets tomorrow, so there's still time to implement rewards and webhooks if you haven't already.
We are also giving $500 to 2 randomly chosen Discord Servers on DSL with more than 1000 members. To qualify you must be a publicly listed Discord Server on DSL. One winner will be picked in November, and one winner will be picked in December.
Everyone has a chance with voting, as you can see with Mudae almost passing Pokecord in just a short few months. The playing field is yours - and millions of users are ready to use the things you build.
We're now in the top 3000 sites in the USA at the moment (around the size of Miniclip). Today we are finally able to bring the strength of our scale to Discord Server discovery by taking #1 on Google. If you don't have your bot or server listed with us yet, you're definitely missing out :-)
This also means that, if you are a top bot, you will now be seen by anyone searching for Discord servers with us. It should get you a ton of joins!
Our users discover nearly 2 million bots and servers through our platform each month. We're excited to see which new winners emerge this month, and which old winners remain.
To start getting your users to vote for your bot, implement https://discordbots.org/api/docs#webhooks
If you're looking how to list your server, look no further than https://discordbots.org/servers/new
We wouldn't have been here without all of you supporting us - so thanks a ton everyone. We look forward to growing with all of you as you develop bigger, better things. To see what we have planned for this, stay posted.

AUCTIONS (ALPHA)
Today we're announcing the auctions system that we've been working on for the past 6 months! In essence, it is a way for bot developers, server owners, and other people interested in advertising to live bid for the featured spots on DBL and DSL.
We built DBL and DSL to help communities and bot owners get their apps and servers discovered. Slowly, we realized that you are all using our lists for much more than that. We saw products emerge, integrations, even games that decided to use us to grow their audience. That's why, starting today, anyone is able to bid for sponsored positions on the site, in any location, with servers, bots, and products that are not bots and servers (e.g. websites). Your support has now helped us grow into the largest third party platform on Discord - with millions of users checking in on DBL every month for servers, bots, and products.
Since this functionality was previously only available to an exclusive group of partners such as Medal.tv and Guilded, we are excited to open this functionality up to the rest of the community with a live-bidding system that runs every week.
https://i.imgur.com/vjMC4kl.png
Some of you have had access for a couple weeks while we rolled this out, and we are ready to allow the next batch of participants in to live-bid every week on the spots you care about the most. Request access here: https://getauctionsaccess.typeform.com/to/JYri1D
How does it work?
Every week there will be multiple simultaneous auctions, each corresponding to a different page on the site (e.g. Crypto bot tag, Fortnite server tag, etc.). At the end of the week, the winning bidder(s) will have their bot/server/product featured on the pages corresponding to the auctions they've won for the following week.
Would it cost me money?
Yes.
These auctions are driving value for bots, servers, and product who often use it to monetize their audiences and supporters on their own. Each auction does not have a minimum price, meaning that you will have the ability to get the spot you love for exactly what it's worth.
Are you selling my data?
No.
Not only would this be against our own guidelines, but we are also strictly against being able to target people based on personal information. We believe the world is moving away from these models - and that is a big reason why we built auctions. It lets people bid on categories that are publicly available to everyone, instead of targeting individuals by their personal information.
Will this only work on DBL/DSL?
In the future we have plans to onboard websites other than DBL into the same auction system. If you own a big website and want access to being able to auction slots in real-time on a weekly basis, please reach out to business@discordbots.org.
How do we get involved?
Step-by-step:
Thanks @everyone!

You might have noticed we have started trialing the first wave of new moderators.
For this application cycle instead of just trialing all the selected mods at once we're trialing them in waves.
The majority of the first wave has been promoted to trial moderator already. Each wave will consist of 10 trial moderators and we will have upwards of 3 waves which can happen just days after one another.
Nothing is final in regards to how many mods we will trial all together and how many will pass.
Just wanted to keep you all updated 🙏🏻

Current Testing Channel Status
Due to the excessive abuse of bots in the server and due to such a large number of bots being added and already existing. (especially with common prefixes)
We decided to lock the testing channels for the time being to allow the server to breathe freely. Some of the service requires this server to be alive and that can't be achieved when such abuse takes place.
With that said, you're more than welcome to test in your own environments which we have urged from the beginning regardless.
Please for this time being, refer to your own testing environments for testing.
This will be the stance until further notice :) Thanks guys <3
cold geode
Current Testing Channel Status
Testing channels are back! but there's a catch...
To prevent such abuse from happening in the future, we are starting to revoke Read Messages permissions from bots with common prefixes.
Current list of common prefixes: !, -, ., +, ?, $, >, /, ; and *.
(The list is subject to change in the future, please do not refer to this announcement as an up to date list later.)
If you still wish to use your bot in this server and have a common prefix, please set your prefix to a different one at least within this server. Preferrably mention prefix only if possible to avoid getting the role back in the future.

Hey, to help keep our voting system fair we're introducing a new rule today.
Bots should not be rewarding users for voting for another bot, for example if a User voted for Bot A they shouldn't be receiving coins in Bot B's currency.
We are also open to more feedback in regards to the voting system and how we can help smaller bots get the exposure they deserve so if you have any feedback make sure to let us know at https://github.com/DiscordBotList/issues

Hey everyone,
We are excited about all the new developers entering the community and submitting bots. We have noticed quite a big increase in submissions due to everyone being at home during COVID-19. This is putting more stress than normal on our initial approval times, we are doing everything we can to make it as fast as possible while keeping malicious, spam and other non working bots off of our platform.
Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Hey @everyone,
From this point on, I will be taking the direction on top.gg, and it's future endeavours.
You might ask yourself, what does this mean for top.gg as a platform. For now, nothing will change. But, as a creator myself on the platform, I have experienced the trials and challenges a typical creator or community goes through and will acknowledge this during my time here at top.gg.
Oliy has been a pillar in this community and platform; though, after nearly 4 years he started longing for a new adventure and has been looking for the right person to pass over the torch. After a lengthy process and a lot of discussions, we've decided I will take full leadership of top.gg. Oliy will still be around to consult future decisions and plans will be executed by me.
Speaking of, you might not have met me yet, Hey. I am Mike, I studied to become a game developer, but found out it was not my kind of style going professional. I used to work as an Uber employee and started building bots back when bots were still user accounts, which I absolutely love doing to this day. When I was invited to join the Top.gg team, I saw this as an opportunity that I couldn't refuse. It is a platform that has its history, but a platform I've grown with as a creator. Using my time and obtained knowledge to build a platform that creators, community owners and especially users can be proud to call their home here on the Discord bots community. I genuinely believe that top.gg can be a metropolis for creators alike, and will work to create an essential service for anyone who loves to build, share and grow their ideas.
If you have any questions; please do not hesitate to DM me. I'd love to hear your story, and I'll do my best to answer you as soon and as well as I can.

I will still be around to help out Mike so you don't need to worry - if you have any questions or concerns you can also DM me

Hey folks, we updated our rules. Please do read through them. 😄
keen osprey
You might’ve noticed some changes already, but we have a ton of new changes from this month!
Server Voting
Similar to voting for bots, your server will be pushed up higher on the top list and gain more exposure whenever your total monthly votes grow higher. From now on, this counts for every list on Discord Server List! To give you an idea of why voting is a great thing for you: our server list gains communities millions of new members every week. Allowing any community to be on the front page is a major step forward for our list and the community around top.gg!
To reward your community members for voting, you can use the DSL bot to give a role whenever someone votes. To set this up, go to your server page and press “edit”, on that page you’ll find a tab for “Role Rewards”; select the role you want to give! DSL will now automatically grant roles for up to 13 hours unless they vote again.
You can also integrate DSL roles yourself using the webhooks system. I’d love to see what you make, so do DM me if you have a cool integration with DBL or DSL webhooks!
Auctions Changes
In the upcoming auctions changes, we’re adding both top frontpage slots for the bot- and server list to the auctions system! Historically they were used for special deals only; but, considering that the community has been the core of top.gg, we decided to open them up for anyone.
--
If you have any feedback regarding the changes, do not hesitate to reach out to me in DMs or in the #general chat, I’d love to know what @everyone thinks!
keen osprey
We've decided that we're no longer going to be adding approved bots into this server. With regards to statuses being displayed on the site, we will display the online status for bots that aren't within this guild until we develop a different system to account for this change.
The new system is in the works that will be implemented into the default API libraries and will automatically keep you going forward.

Hey everyone!
It's your favourite ping guy again. I'm really excited to announce the current new launches that we did this week, so please bear with me!
We've launched a ton of cool new small things, but I really want to put the show lights on our bigger releases now! Please read the blog post here
tl;dr We added new search functionality and a whole new server/bot dashboard with analytics!
https://medium.com/discord-bots/top-gg-is-getting-your-work-discovered-3f40df5fcbb7
misty nebula
The idea for Top.gg was born in Autumn of 2016, I started creating bots on Discord for people to listen to music together. I wanted to get my creation some exposure so other users on Discord could enjoy it too. When I went to try and list my bot on existing websites the experience and quality wasn't what I thought it could have been.
I knew I had a passion for building products to help people discover cool stuff so I spent a few weeks putting together what is now Top.gg.
I asked my friends to add their bots too. It was gaining more and more popularity each day.
After a lot more work and polish we released our server list to help the discovery of communities on Discord which was a huge success on top of our already massive bot discovery platform. Fast forward to October of 2019 we announced our future plans for Top.gg to expand so we could help power discovery beyond Discord.
Top.gg and the startups prior to it have defined my life so far and I'm ready to try something new. I will be starting a new company to create technologies to help humans live responsibly and sustainably on the planet we all share. I've loved large scale infrastructure in the world such as computer networking and transport since I was little kid and I'm obsessed with how it all works at a massive scale. I want to pursue that passion to help the world move forward to be truly carbon neutral and help foster other responsible practices to allow future generations to prosper.
Even though I'm leaving the team, I'm not gone. Top.gg will always be a cornerstone of my career, and the friendships I've made in our community will last. I know in the years ahead I'll be proud to hold the title "Founder of Top.gg". I'd love to talk to you all if you have any questions don't be afraid to reach out. @everyone

Hey, everyone!
I wanted to take some time and talk about how the queue is going. Of course, it is a weird situation we’re in right now, with COVID running rampant, and Discord releasing the developer badges. We noticed that it has been quite an insane year for us to curate bots. And we’ve received a lot of frustration about that. So there are a few things we’ve done for you to mitigate this!
First of all, you can now see your queue status at a higher level which gives you a little of an idea how long you still have to go until it is your turn. However, please do keep in mind we are not planning to give your exact queue number for the sake of keeping it digestible.
And another thing we want to do is, at long last, publicize queue data for everyone to see. This gives you the trust that we are really doing our best to get your bot on the platform as soon as possible! These metrics are from the last week only, so please keep that in mind when looking over them!

Hey,
We'll be closing Bot Reviewer applications in about 48 hours from now! If you're thinking of applying, then this is the last chance for you to do so! We're aiming to review the applications and invite the first people to our new team during the next few weeks.
Thank you to everyone who has took their time to apply for Bot Reviewer. In the next 1-2 weeks, we will begin inviting the first batch of bot reviewers to trial. Unfortunately, as we received close to 900 applications, we will only be contacting those who have successfully been chosen.

Hi @everyone, 
You may have seen me lurking around the server over the past few weeks. I’d like to formally introduce myself as CEO of Top.gg. I officially joined 4 weeks ago and am beyond excited to lead our team to build the future of Top.gg! We are dedicated to building a platform that community owners, creators, and especially users can be proud to call their home. We genuinely believe that Top.gg can be a metropolis for communities and creators alike and will work to create an essential ecosystem for anyone who loves to build, share and grow their ideas. Let’s make the metaverse accessible and transform Top.gg into the #1 platform for communities and creators to be discovered, empower them, and accelerate their growth!
I am also happy to say that Mike (@keen osprey) isn’t going anywhere! He is officially the CTO of Top.gg and we’ll lead the company together as an executive team. Mike is a huge part of why I decided to join -- he has done an amazing job of leading the small but mighty Top.gg team over the last year. And, he has an incredibly unique perspective as a creator on the platform and deep technical knowledge that will be key for our vision to succeed. In his new role, we’ll work closely together every day and he’ll have space to focus on leading our engineering teams and technical strategy.
You (the incredible community!) are another big reason why I am so excited to be a part of Top.gg. I love building directly with and for the community -- I can’t wait to get to know you, learn from you, and work together to improve the site and community.
❓ These are some big announcements and you'll probably have quite a few questions. As a staff team, we’ll host 2 moderated AMAs this week to give you an opportunity to ask me anything and to accommodate global time zones. I am happy to share a bit more about myself and our team is happy to answer questions about Top.gg. If you have any questions, please add them here to: #869266757595054090
AMA 1️⃣ Wednesday July 28th at 3-4pm UTC | 8-9 am PST
AMA 2️⃣ Friday July 30th at 7-8pm UTC | 12pm-1pm PST
The AMAs will take place in the podium channel.
A little bit about me ahead of the AMAs…. I love creating and building products for online communities, creators, and developers and am incredibly passionate about this space. My background is in product management, data analytics, and insights. Most recently, I worked at SoundCloud as a Director of Product Management for the Creator-to-Fan team and I built the foundation for creators at Pinterest. This will be my second time working in the gaming industry, which I am very happy about! At Twitch, I built Twitch Insights for game developers, extension developers, mod authors and creators partnering very closely with the community to build the best products for their needs. My first tech job was at LinkedIn on the insights team. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, taking care of my puppy Meepo (bonus points if you know where his name is from), hiking, and casual gaming. I love stardew valley, gears of war, and also have been playing DotA2 and Apex even though I am not very good.
📣 A current priority for our team is hiring! We are planning to grow our team of 4 to ~25 full-time team members over the next year. You can check out our open jobs here: https://jobs.lever.co/Medal?department=Top.gg. We are 100% remote and international and are recruiting talented frontend, backend, fullstack, and support engineers, product managers, and product designers. If this sounds like you, please apply! You might be wondering, why am I seeing Top.gg and Medal.tv jobs on the same site? When you join either one, you get stock in our shared parent company -- which is pretty unprecedented, two big creator/consumer platforms under 1 roof! If you believe in the move towards a more creator-and-community-driven future, this is it! You can check out our company core values at the bottom of each job posting.
We’ll continue to post future roles in the #434058442764714002 channel and updates will also be posted to Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscordBotList and our company page on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/topgg/.
You may also have other fears that come with Top.gg becoming “too professional” or other worries that come with a company scaling and growing. I can assure you that this will not be the case with Top.gg. You, our users, and you, our community, come first and will be a huge part of building a future that we are excited about, together!
Looking forward to hearing from you at the upcoming AMAs!
AMA 1️⃣ Wednesday July 28th at 3-4pm UTC | 8-9 am PST
AMA 2️⃣ Friday July 30th at 7-8pm UTC | 12pm-1pm PST
The AMAs will take place in the podium channel.

New Add Server Flow
We are thrilled to share that our designer @smoky pewter has been working on a new and improved Add Server Flow for Top.gg!!! Check out this clip for a sneak-peak: https://www.loom.com/share/b87be7fdf3844603bd55b66a367473d6 
Here’s a link to the current flow for comparison: https://top.gg/servers/new
@supple python, @sharp sun, @sleek breach, @cosmic marsh , & @keen osprey have been hard at work on the engineering implementation! We are planning to launch the new add server flow next week. We’ll roll it out slowly to all users to make sure that there are no bugs and the site is stable.
As part of this change, we’ll be renaming the “DSL bot” to the “Top.gg Bot” (https://top.gg/bot/422087909634736160). We also plan to create a support article for this new flow so stay tuned.
🙏 Thank you to everyone in the community and in our volunteer staff team who gave us feedback to improve this! If you’re adding a server to Top.gg and have a chance to use the new flow starting next week, please let us know your thoughts and feedback in the #support channel!

Hi @everyone, We have some exciting news to share with you .... 
drum roll please .... 🥁 🥁 🥁 !!! @prime gulch has officially joined the top.gg team as our first ever Community Operations Manager. In this new role, she will be leading all things community going forward. She’ll be the main point of contact for and the bridge between us and all of you, our amazing community! She’ll be managing our volunteer staff team and leading all strategy and operations for community, support and social media.
As you might already know, Iara has been a dedicated Top.gg Community Manager for the past two years and we’re beyond excited to have her join us. Iara is based in Canada 🍁🇨🇦. She has expertise in community management and support from her previous experiences at Wattpad. She's also the developer behind the beloved Mimu bot (https://top.gg/bot/493716749342998541). Mimu is one of Discord's top 40 bots and is currently in 655k+ servers and has 10 MILLION concurrent users 😱 !!! And, she manages the Mimu community of 40k members. She also has training as a counselor in mental health and crisis hotlines. In her free time, she loves drawing✏️, Tetris and playing the violin 🎻 .

Hello everyone,
Today we have some heartbreaking news to share. Unfortunately, we’ll be saying goodbye to minors in our volunteer staff team today; and going forward, will only be accepting those who are age 18 or above into our staff team.
One of the most important things we believe in is transparency: it is what allows you to give feedback, and allows us to continue to improve. So today we’d like to be as transparent as possible when sharing this news, even if deeply saddening to us, the staff, and you.
The main reason why we’re doing this is due to legal liability issues. We believe in the safety of minors and would like to protect the community as much as possible, especially those not of age. Being a bot reviewer (or higher staff) could potentially lead to exposure towards uncomfortable and/or mature content that they should not be viewing.
With that being said, we do understand that there is a large percentage of the community that are under 18, yet want to contribute. We encourage and celebrate the drive to make an impact and improve top.gg - and would love for you to be involved in various activities outside of moderation and reviewing. Hence, today also marks the day we’re bringing on the <@&904333200711630909> role.
The Contributor role will work on a plethora of volunteer projects, from article writing and helping out in support, to running community events and product testing. We want to keep you involved, and you’ll find some of our staff transitioning into this new volunteer role as well. This role will serve as the heart of the community - and will, in the future, be a role you can apply for (as long as abiding by the age requirement for Discord). We'll post an announcement soon with the form as well as more details on the role, so stay tuned. Those who are a minor can see this as an opportunity to get involved; and possibly step into a reviewer or moderator role in the future.
Thank you for your consistent support and kindness; you are what defines the community and helps us grow every day. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (iara).

Hi @everyone !
It’s been another year since Top.gg (formerly known as DBL) was founded; another year of memories, friendships, and milestones! This year we’ve watched our community evolve and grow alongside our site, and we are excited to continue to do so in the next. To celebrate our 5th anniversary, we’d love to invite you to participate in our weeklong events!
🎙️ Quarterly AMA with Kristin
We’ve planned two AMAs coming up at different times to accommodate for global timezones. We’re happy to share some insight, directly from our CEO Kristin, of where we’re headed and to answer any questions you have. Please post your questions in the thread at "Questions for the quarterly AMA with Kristin" !

💼 Career Panels (Engineering and Product/Design)
With interest from the community, we know we have a substantial number of aspiring developers and interest in product management and design. We’ve set up two career related panels (of an hour each) for those in the industry to share with you their stories and answer your questions!
Engineering Career Panel
https://discord.gg/aGvrUWaH?event=916401944266936340
We have four panelists! From Top.gg, we have Heather (our Software Engineer) and David (our CTO). As well, we have Meng (Senior Software Engineer) from Twitch, and AJ (Software Engineer) at Pinterest!
Product / Design Career Panel
https://discord.gg/aGvrUWaH?event=916402505515143218
Our four panelists are: Ziggy (Product Manager, Viewer Experience) from Twitch, Katherine (Product Manager) from Caper/Instacart, Lauren (Senior Product Designer) from Scale.ai; and finally from Top.gg, we have Gracjan (our Senior Product Designer)!
🎮 League Anniversary Tournament
As a throwback, one of the events will be the League Anniversary Tournament. This is a competition in which activity within our Discord server gets rewarded with prizes. Because a detailed explanation of this tournament would be quite long, the details of the event is in a document, which you can view here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wb730XPgJibQLxFLZwwSO93VvlJiY2JZ/edit
We’ll be rewarding a total of $250 worth of Discord Nitro or Nitro Classic during this tournament, with $100 being available for first place!
🤡 Meme Contest
One of the things that make our community unique is the drive to create. Please submit memes related to your favorite Discord bots / servers or Top.gg to win different prizes by December 13th here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jtPlKTFqp1TO_zebxFPHzgMMCQt5Y4ZpERknQUBhZ5k/viewform ! Community Guidelines apply. Prize allocation would be based off of:
Community Managers’ Choice
Each prize would obtain a $50 Amazon Gift card. We'll have a server-wide voting for the Community Special award.
🤖 Chilly Hackathon
Our community has always had a passion for building and creating bots that are unique. With this event, we’re thrilled to host our first hackathon. The theme is winter; as we’re approaching the season - and you’d have to program a Discord bot during the week. Bots should abide by our site and bot guidelines in addition to being open source to verify its integrity. To participate, please fill in this form here to show interest: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_igxYZBzpblMeX8luwg81sEvzNcMw_IMfMtIHQL9z7E/edit. You are welcome to team up, with up to 4 people, but the prize(s) will be split evenly between you. We will be selecting up to 25 individuals/teams and will contact those chosen through DMs to participate. Prize allocation would be based off of:
We have @warped sierra, @gray lodge, @prime gulch, @slow cedar, and @karmic mantle on the judge panel by going through the bots you create! Each prize will consist of a $250 Amazon Gift Card (split if you are in a team).
🎁 Giveaways
We’ll be dropping up to $500 in giveaways throughout those days! Please stay tuned and participate for a chance to win prizes.
--
All the prizes will be given out mid-January, after a short christmas break! 
We're also excited to share with you that we've launched a new logo! Please read more about our inspiration and design inspiration here ➜ https://blog.top.gg/logo-redesign/

Hello everyone!
We have so much exciting news to share with you today!
One of our biggest priorities in Top.gg is collecting your feedback and implementing that into Top.gg. Today marks the day where we have created https://feedback.top.gg/, a Nolt.io page that allows you to provide feedback and suggestions towards improving the site. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, as it allows us to create features more fitting to the community. 
Secondly, I wanted to remind everyone to not hesitate to reach out to me for any bugs or problems you may run into. I know a lot of people have gotten used to reaching out to Veld or Xetera 
but please refer to me as a point of contact if anything goes wrong so our engineers can focus on improving our site!
Next, we have two new Community Managers who’ve just been promoted from their Moderator positions! 
You may have seen them floating around with their shiny new roles already. Please join me in welcoming @slow cedar and @sharp chasm - who will be running the bot reviewal / mentor team, and server events / translations team respectively.
Xiuh (you can call her Zoo!), who will be leading the bot reviewal and mentoring process going forward is a part time dog groomer 
and a mother to her 1 year old daughter ! She loves reading, drawing and video games - her favorite being the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV. In her new position, she will be onboarding and training new members within our volunteer staff. 
Mac is a collector of dad jokes and a developer of PixxieBot - which is in over 20,000 servers! 
He’s bilingual, speaks French fluently and loves space, graphic design, photography, Egyptology and traveling to other countries; and his favorite game is Assassin's Creed Origins 
. As he will be leading the Events and translations team, feel free to reach out to him if you have ideas for server events!
From the bottom of my heart, I am so excited to see both of them flourish in their roles. They will be working closely with the rest of the CM team to manage the community.

Looking back at it, it was the most chaotic and challenging time of my life. But, it was something that I held dear to me. Every time I look back at the initial version from back when I joined, it makes me so happy with the progress we've made so far.
That being said, it's time for me to close this chapter and push forward to new opportunities. Remote work has been a double edged blade for me; I've been the most focused at work as I've ever been, but I have been working every hour of the day to a point it started to impact my health. On top of that, I moved to a city (Amsterdam) for my previous job, but have been able to find not a lot of people to connect with in my city (if you’re from Amsterdam, do feel free to reach out 🙌). Adding remote work and covid on that; life got pretty isolated. Which is why I made the decision to trade in my remote job in favor of a local, in-person job here in Amsterdam. I will be closing this chapter at Top.gg at the end of the year and moving onto something new in 2022.
The opportunity I received for Top.gg was something completely out of my comfort zone, but, I am glad that I did. It taught me a lot about how to look in the horizon and figure out how to move towards this exact point. I'm not great at it, but I've learned a lot over the last year. I believe that these skills will always stay useful in my career path.
I have my full confidence that Top.gg is in safe hands with @warped sierra and @hot pine leading. I can see the amount of care that is being put into it by everyone in the team and of course, I will always keep an eye out for Top.gg as I will always still be a creator on the platform myself (For those we are unaware, when I initially started I joined top.gg as a bot developer, my bot is called Miki 😊).
Again, thank you everyone for all your support. In case you wanna know what I’m going to be doing next be sure to follow me on https://twitter.com/velddev

I wanted to follow-up on the bittersweet news that @keen osprey shared above. First and foremost, thank you Veld for your contributions to make Top.gg what it is today and leading the team through uncertain times in 2020 and 2021 🙏. You will be missed dearly by our team, volunteer staff, community and me; however, we are very glad that you are putting your own personal health first and wish you the best 💚.
We are happy that you’ll still remain in our community as the developer of the beloved Miki bot! Thank you again for being so welcoming when I joined Top.gg 6 months ago and for everything you have done for us ✨.
🎙️Veld will also be sharing a few words during the live AMAs next week so please be sure to attend if you’re able to so we can give him a proper send off! 🥂

📣 Announcing Auctions for All! 📣
Hello everyone! 
We are excited to share that we’ve opened access to auctions for everyone!
Our goal was to make auctions more accessible through automation and the experience more enjoyable through instant access. Now, everyone can promote their projects on Top.gg instantly! ✨ In the past, anyone who wanted to advertise on Top.gg would have to apply for access to auctions and often experience a wait of 1+ weeks. If approved, you were granted a $2,500 USD starting limit.
We have now removed this requirement so that anyone can automatically access auctions but will start with a limit of $100 USD. For all new users and businesses, this amount will double on every successful purchase when you win an auction until it has reached a maximum of $5000 USD. At any point, if you would like to increase your bidding limit to more than $5,000 USD, please contact us at partnerships@top.gg. Note that Auction users who were granted auctions access through our historical approval process will remain at their previous $2,500 USD or custom auctions limit and will not be affected by this new change. Users who were granted access starting on December 15, 2021 will go through our new auctions approval process detailed above. To see this feature in action, visit https://auctions.top.gg/overview or read our support article here: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000508264-how-do-i-use-auctions

Hello everyone! We’re excited to share with you the things we’ve been working on! 
First off, we’re happy to share that the Teams feature has gotten a revamp! Over the past few months, we’ve gotten a lot of feedback regarding Teams being a pain point - thank you for providing your feedback! We have added new features, such as Team profile page, and fixed issues such as permission and error handling, having the ability to leave and delete a Team, adding servers to a Team. Our Teams feature is what provides both server owners and bot owners with an easy way to add Users who collaborated on a project, with varying levels of roles and permissions. ⚠️ A side note: Currently, you can only have one concurrent pending invite at a time for a team. There is no way to revoke an invitation to join your team once it is sent. The person you invited can decline the invite, or you can remove them from your team after they accept. We’ll be working on improvements on this in the future as well. 
If you'd like to learn more about Teams and how they work, you can check out our support article here: https://support.top.gg/a/solutions/articles/73000510559
At Top.gg, one of our biggest priorities is to ensure our platform is safe for all age groups when searching and discovering communities that are relevant and suitable. Whilst we do have specific guidelines in place disallowing inappropriate content (such as explicit imagery), we’ve launched the Safety Filter feature, aiming to hide servers that are suited to more mature audiences. 
Please note that the launch of this feature does not mean we tolerate NSFW content - please review our entity guidelines in #rules-and-info for more information. Before the launch of this feature, we gathered a lot of user feedback regarding their discovery session experiences on Top.gg - and this feature will stand to empower users to find communities fitting to their expectations. This option is now available when opening the navigation bar when tapping your icon in the top right corner. By default, the filter will be on (meaning you will not be able to see mature content) and will have to require acknowledgement that you’re 18 or older to view. 
If you’d like to learn more about our new safety filter feature, please check out our article here: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000510622-safety-filter
As per usual, we’re excited to hear your feedback! Feel free to share with us your feedback at our page https://feedback.top.gg/.

Hey everyone,
From this week onwards, all auctions will be CPM (cost per thousand impressions) based as previously mentioned in our end of year blog post . We’ve been testing CPM bidding since May 2021, and are excited to launch it for all tags. Going forward, instead of bidding for a flat amount week-to-week for only two slots, you’ll be bidding for a fixed amount of impressions based on CPM. For more information on how CPM bidding works, please check out our article here: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000508235.
In the past 3 years of auctions, we’ve encountered a lot of feedback relating to smaller bot developers not being able to compete, as well as feedback regarding the ambiguity of impressions gained. We hope that by launching CPM auctions, we can resolve some of these concerns. We’ll be going into a more in-depth perspective on this in the blog post next week, so stay tuned for that!

Hey everyone,
We realize that there are some issues with auctions right now concerning the estimated impressions and how users are charged if more impressions are reached than originally estimated. There is an ongoing visual bug regarding the estimated impressions, particularly evident with Slot 2 positions; hence it shows as 0 or a lot less than the actual amount of impressions. 
Regarding these estimates being inaccurate, we are actively investigating this bug to resolve it. Whilst we fix this, ads will still continue to show up; and we will begin collecting analytics for tags where the estimate is 0 impressions.
To ensure users are still able to advertise through our Auctions product, we have decided to make sure that going forward, advertisements will still show up after the impressions exceed what is originally expected, via retroactive charging.
We’ve updated our CPM Bidding article to illustrate the idea of retroactive charging better. It can be found at the last section of this article: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000508235
As a result, for this week, users bidding in Slot 2 positions (or positions with underestimated impressions) will find their ad still showing up, but they will be charged at the end of the week instead of right after auctions ended.
Thank you for using our auctions and sticking with us, and providing us with feedback to improve Top.gg.

Hey everyone! Thanks for your patience regarding the End of Year event rewards. We’ve distributed the rewards accordingly.
If you received Nitro, you should have gotten a DM from @warped sierra or I (@prime gulch)- since links expire in 48h, it is your responsibility to claim it before then.

Hey everyone,
It has come to our attention that since auctions involve technical-specific support that sometimes involves sensitive information, such as your billing reference, legal name, or otherwise. As a result, some users have opted to ask for auctions support in team members’ DMs instead of in the server, where context can be logged. Whilst the auctions-support channel will continue to be there for general support (e.g. how does cpm bidding work?), when it comes to specific ads or billing issues (e.g. i paid for it but it still wants me to pay), it is important to escalate it to someone in our support team that has the tools to help.
To reach out, there are now two ways:
As a final reminder, please avoid DMing team members for support. You will be redirected to the normal support channels. Thank you for making support easier for all of us.

Hey everyone! We have some small changes that we hope will allow your bots and servers to be easily discovered!
We’ve extended the number of tags you can have on your server or bot from 6 tags to 12! We know tags are often used during searching and is a key part for your bot and server to be discoverable, so wanted to increase the tag limit. Please note that going forward, we will be referring to “tags” as “categories” - in hopes for it to be a more user-friendly term. This will be rolled out over the course of the next few weeks.
As usual, please leave any feedback you have for us at https://feedback.top.gg. Thanks for supporting us and for using our platform!

Hello friends!
We've just launched our new and improved Add Bot Flow ! 
We had the chance to talk to a handful of developers experiencing our old flow for feedback, and was able to implement some of these thoughts. In addition, since the initial release of the Add Server Flow, we've been asked for a similar, simplified flow for adding bots.
Some highlights would be:
You can now add your bot in 4 easy steps, instead of just a single form
You can now leave a note for reviewers in case there's a special case of notice you'd like to leave for the reviewer - like for example, if your bot was going in planned maintenance.
You now have to confirm that your bot is online before submitting
There are detailed + clear error messages and reminders of possible reasons for declination, as well as links to our guidelines on submission
Thank you for your continued support towards Top.gg and for using our platform! 
And as usual, thanks for being vocal about your feedback so we can improve these flows for better user experience.

Hey @everyone! 
We're happy to announce a new initiative started by our Volunteer Staff, designed to show off the creativity and originality of some of the best bots on our site (in our opinion)! 
This initiative is called Staff Picks and every quarter we'll be sharing our favourite bots we've discovered while reviewing bots submitted to our site, or browsing the bots that are already present! A huge shoutout @sharp chasm for organising this initiative.
Without further ado, here are our Staff Picks for Q1 2022! 🎉
Staff Picks - Q1 2022
@narrow flame by @worthy sedge - https://top.gg/bot/932035804224712714
Wordplay is a bot for playing Wordle inside Discord. It includes multiple word lengths and languages, personal stats and leaderboards. It also features multiplayer with custom words. Have your friends try to guess the name of a country or Pokémon! Endless possibilities!
@wraith dagger by @empty jolt - https://top.gg/bot/847164104161361921
Among Us Dumpy Bot lets you make anything in your Discord server... a little more sussy. Turn images into Among Us Dumpy GIFs, sussify text, even eject your fellow crewmates, Among Us Dumpy Bot is the sussiest baka bot ever made!
@subtle veldt by @grizzled steeple - https://top.gg/bot/907015513073397870
Botloader is a programmable Discord bot. It works by creating scripts for your server in typescript either in the web-based editor or using our Visual Studio Code extension. The built-in API includes a database service, timers, command system with slash commands, message component interaction support, and more! It is currently in beta and improvements are being made every week in all areas of the bot!
GGs to all the devs who were nominated and selected by our staff this quarter! 
Their bots are available at the links above and you can also play with them in our #commands channel for the next 3 months!

Hi friends!
We have 3 NEW LAUNCHES to share @everyone ! 
Sorting / Filtering
On search and tag pages, you can now filter by total members, invites, reviews and more! This was one of the most popularasks during user surveys and interviews. By using these new search filters, you'll be able to find your dream bot and server.
We launched this very recently but noticed that people who use filters are more likely to add bots and join servers. Watch the video below for more information!
Bot & Server Languages
You can now add supported languages to your bots and servers to boost discovery and growth! You can choose up to 12 languages on your bot or server that users will be able to see and filter by when browsing! Remember to update the languages of your bots and servers at
New Auctions Slots
We’ve heard your feedback and have been working hard to create new auctions slots and categories to offer more opportunities to bot developers and server owners. We have 5 new slots that you can bid on right now!
Search Dropdown (4 slots - 2 for servers, 2 for bots). When the user clicks the search dropdown, your bot/server/product will show up in these promoted slots. These are called Bot - Search Dropdown - Slot 1 or Slot 2 469k estimated impressions and Server - Search Dropdown Slot 1 or Slot 2 234k estimated impressions.
Empty Search Results (1 slot - bots only for now). Whenever someone searches on top.gg but does not get a result, your ad will show here. We added Bot-Empty search results 25.6k estimated impressions. We’ll be adding the slot for servers next auctions cycle.
For more information: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000532114-auctions-categories-and-slots-overview
We hope this empowers creators of all sizes to promote and grow their bots and servers. Please note that due to this being our first auction cycle with these new auctions slots, we do not have clicks tracked. As a result, there are no estimated clicks available in the auctions. We have new slots and new auctions categories coming soon so stay tuned!
--
Thank you, to the community, for continually providing feedback on all of these features. Top.gg was built for its users, and will continue to be; so being vocal about different concerns on the site helps us grow in the right direction. And, thank you to our lovely volunteer staff for constantly sharing new ideas with us and for helping to test our new features!

Hi friends! <@&556148669242408971>
If you’re looking to grow your bot, server, or products, check out our new auction categories and slot types! This week, we launched 3 new ad slot types, and over 100+ new category slots: 84 for bots, and 18 for servers!
There are 3 special ad slots that come today: Empty Search Results for Servers, Final Step of the Add Server Flow (will be shown to server owners and admins), and Final Step of the Add Bot Flow (will be shown to bot developers).
Make sure to search all the new tags! We also have many new tags that offer more specific targeting! For instance, we now offer “Musica”, “Spotify”, “247 Music”, options for you to bid on in addition to the loved but competitive music tag 🎶 – type music in the search bar to see all of the options! Instead of only offering the “Game” tag for bots, we added the “Gaming” tag. We’ve added other highly requested tags such as “Giveaway”, “Reaction Roles” “Chat Bot” “Roblox” and “Nft” to name a few. Be sure to explore all of the new tags and slots and check out the full list with visual examples here: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000532114-auctions-categories-and-slots-overview. Note that new slots and tags will display estimated 0 clicks in the bidding dropdown because they are brand new.
Feedback and new tag requests can be shared in https://feedback.top.gg/. For help and support, reach out at #auctions-support

Hi friends! 
As you may have noticed, we’ve reorganized our server categories and channels. This is to help our new members find their way around more easily and also to facilitate better communication with our existing members. Big shoutouts to @turbid crest and @sharp chasm , as well as all of our <@&904333200711630909> for helping out with these changes!
We’ve also added a few new categories and channels. We want to quickly highlight #966029280033267792 and #966029332726317116 under our new Category “Communities”. Feel free to chat with other server owners or moderators about your community concerns and collaborate on building each other up!
In the coming weeks, you may notice a few more channels pop up. Keep an eye out!

Happy Friday, <@&556148669242408971>s!
Thank you for all of your ideas and feedback to improve auctions – we’ve been listening and are excited to share new auctions bidding improvements.
When bidding for a category, we’ve introduced a minimum bid of at least 1,000 impressions. This will prevent users from purchasing very few impressions for very high amounts of CPM. We have also fixed our minimum CPM bid to be a better reflection of the category you are bidding on, with a global minimum of at least $1 CPM.
More importantly, we have implemented a minimum increment to outbid someone else. If you are bidding on a category that already has bids on it, you must increase your CPM bid by a certain increment based on how much the bid is. Attached is a helpful chart on the minimum increments for different budgets.
This was one of our most highly requested features in surveys and research sessions! Check out all the details here: https://support.top.gg/support/solutions/articles/73000508235-how-does-cpm-bidding-work-
We have many more improvements planned so stay tuned and keep sharing your feedback at https://feedback.top.gg !

Hi everyone! After almost 9 months at Top.gg, it’s bittersweet for me to share that today will be my last day. I have had such a wonderful experience and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on a great product with such a passionate and creative community behind it. I ultimately decided it would be best to take some time to focus on supporting my family. I have grown so much during my time with Top.gg and I feel confident that the skills I’ve gained will transfer over to wherever I end up next. I believe Top.gg and the Team have a great future ahead and I will continue to cheer for everyone!
Thank you everyone for all the kindness and support you have shown me!

Hello @everyone! 
Today we are releasing a large change to Auctions that will allow more users to successfully complete their payments and purchase advertisements! We want to make sure that everyone is notified of this change, so enjoy your ping
We are increasing the payment window from 12 hours to 24 hours. The Auctions cycle ends at 7pm UTC on Monday and users will have 24 hours (until 7pm UTC Tuesday) to make their payments. Previously, users only had 12 hours to complete their payments, but now you will have the full 24 hours to access your payment page and complete your payments from there. The payment deadline will now be 7pm UTC on Tuesdays, and advertisements will start to go live between 7 and 8pm UTC on Tuesdays.
This also means that there will be no more live auctions support between the hours of 6am - 8am UTC on Tuesday mornings, as the payment deadline has been extended and support is not needed then. We will continue to have our live support times on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm - 8pm UTC.
This will take effect starting this Auctions cycle, so after today’s auctions end at 7PM UTC, you will have 24 hours to pay for your bids.
If you have any questions or concerns about this, please reach out in #auctions-support !
Happy Bidding!
