The local chat only has one chat room, while Discord has many channels in a single server. Discord also enables users to chat with voice. Plus, there are countless Discord bots that make chatting much more fun (and far more addictive than regular chatting) by entering commands to make bots do stuff regular users can't do.

Most of the old users here came not to contribute, but to hang out with others around the Internet. Or, they used to contribute, but they eventually lost interest in GD (that, or they're just regular GD players looking for level collaborations), yet they still wanted to keep in touch with their Internet friends. So what did they do? Migrate to Discord. Among these users are all of the former moderators of this wiki.

Aside from that, some users really had to leave because of personal reasons, such as college/university, jobs, real life issues, and such.

Even then, the current staff team of this wiki (plus a former wiki staff) now discuss our matters in a direct messaging group in Discord instead of using the local chat, because Discord saves what you have posted in chat, but the local chat doesn't.

I hope that explains it all. Thank you for reading.
