Rory & Lorelai Fanclub (Discord Server)
Chew has her own Discord server. Created on January 6th, 2016, it has seen many communities come and go and many periods of inactivity.
Information
A lot of information about Chew's Server is found on the official site. There, you can view roles, ranks, and more.
Roles
The server contains many roles to distinguish users.
A majority of the roles are based around IRC user modes, specifically inspIRCd. Notably, the hoisted ones are Owner (+q), Admin (+a), Op (+o), Half-op (+h), and Voiced (+v).
This change was performed in the Chew's Inactivity Era, in which the roles were made to mimic IRC as that was Chew's main platform at the time.[1]
There are other numerous user-modes. These roles are documented on the Discord information site.

History
Chew's server has an extensive history, lasting almost as long as Discord itself, only being newer by about 7 months.
Modpack Era
Originally, the server was used as a server for ChewPack, Chew's Minecraft modpack for the Technic Platform. It was advertised originally in the Technic Launcher's official server, and this is where a bulk of the original users came from, some still there to this day; however, it is very unlikely that any of these members will ever be active again.
GotPvP Era
In the middle of 2016 to early 2017, Chew was the Discord Admin of the GotPvP Discord server. A few of her friends came to her server, however, most have since left.
Chew's Inactivity Era
From early 2017 to mid-2018, Chew took a 13-month break from Discord. However, the server did not die. Friends who were still around still managed to keep up a conversation. Part-way through 2017, an IRC relay was set via discordIRCd from her IRC Client to Discord. This kept the server somewhat active, however, it was not as active as it could've been.
Server Inactivity Era
From late 2018 to late 2020, the server was in an inactive state. Almost no messages got sent (only about 90 in 2019).
Rory Era
In late 2020, Chew started to make a name for herself in different Minecraft communities, using none other than her cat Rory. From here, the server transformed into a Rory haven, where people may worship Rory in peace.
