The Aethro Discord has been fully overhauled, and we’ve officially started rebuilding Aethro Listings from the ground up. This is a full-scale shift—not just cleanup. We’re aligning everything with what actually works, cutting the bloat, and rebuilding based on purpose, not tradition. Here’s what’s live now—and what’s still on the way. 🧱 Discord Rebuilt From ScratchThe entire server has been reorganized with clarity and purpose. The new layout is clean, functional, and ready for growth. ✅ What’s Done:New, streamlined Gaming hub Community section trimmed and refreshed Unified ticket system (Listings + Gaming support) New roles with real purpose Opt-in roles for Listings and updates Flair roles for identity and fun (LGBTQ+, Builder, etc.) The server no longer reads like a forgotten wiki page. It works. 🌍 Aethro Listings — In ProgressAethro Listings is shifting away from being just another Minecraft vote list. We're building something better: a curated showcase platform that highlights high-quality, inclusive, community-driven servers. But it’s not ready yet. ⚠️ What’s Coming Soon:A completely rebuilt AethroListings.com Website-based server submissions and updates Curated listings with screenshots, tags, and profiles Featured Servers handpicked by the Listings team Right now, the Listings section of the Discord is still under construction, and the website is not yet live. We’ll post a full announcement when it opens to users. 🎮 Aethro Gaming — Streamlined and StableMinecraft players can now access the Gaming hub through a single role. No more scattered channels or inactive side rooms. What’s included: #aethro-discussion for all Minecraft server chat #downloads-area for modpacks and info #feedback for bugs/suggestions #player-screenshots for build sharing #event-hall for in-game or Discord events 🧠 Why This MattersWe’re not just changing structure—we’re changing direction. No more fake voting systems, no more role bloat, no more confusing server sprawl. This is a cleaner, more useful Aethro—focused on real community, real games, and real value. 🛠️ What You Can Do Right NowJoin the convo in #community-chat Apply for staff via #join-the-team Open a ticket in #support-tickets if you need help Keep an eye on announcements for the Listings site launch Thanks for your patience while we finish this rebuild. This isn’t a patch. It’s a whole new foundation. – Paul
