Server website? or is Discord enough?

[Sparko]

Hello,

If I were to make a server should I still get a website and forums? or would Discord be enough for it? Maybe just a landing page with basic info regarding the server for the website and Discord for actual discussion?

What do you think?

If you are going to make a server it's best to have a discord and a website. By website I mean full on, fourms , bans ,and store.(I can help with discord bots and website development)[DOUBLEPOST=1569718976][/DOUBLEPOST]Feel free to add me on discord Jace#1234

Any specific reasons as to why?

It is definitely best to have a site as well as a discord. It is easier to compile everything on a website and it serves many purposes that discords cannot.

What type of server are you making and how big will it be? From my experience, whenever I had a website it would get a few registered members but it wouldn't be active. Not really worth it if you are trying to keep a budget for small - medium servers.

Most of the stuff I do is on discord now.

Not worth having a website at all in my opinion

I was against the idea of just having a discord and store at first as I'm an 'old school' user by today's standards. As I helped a small server startup with an ancient playerbase, I made the realization that Discord and a functioning store is all you need at first. Later stages may vary, but below ~40 players, just discord is fine for communication.

Edit: To clarify, this was worked on from the beginning of the year to early summer and the team had two talented web developers who were working on a site if we ever found ourselves needing one. We just really didn't find ourselves needing a full-blown site at launch.

I say just get a store and Discord server at the beginning and if the server grows, then get a forum

Everyone seems to have a website but it seems to just be an awkward forum of no discussion with a buycraft page 90% of the time. Maybe it would be more worth it to have a discord first and open a website/forum when you feel it’s worth it/if it has some meaningful existence beyond everyone else having one.
Or open a website if it’s part of your advertising campaign.
