A few days ago, we all woke up to discover that the SMILE GAME BUILDER Discord Channel we all enjoyed so much, and which we all worked so hard to develop, was "missing". It had vanished from the Discord app, along with all of its content, as though it had never been.
or we are having issues fetching data!
The error message received when clicking on the invite link.
If I’m honest, I’ve been avoiding writing this post while I’ve dealt with a cocktail of emotional responses, from bewilderment to shock to despondency to blunt anger. I didn’t want to write anything without some facts first and certainly without being influenced by emotional bias.
What Happened?
After providing as much detail as possible, including the invite link, to Discord, and after further digging around, Discord’s conclusion was:
We’ve checked that invite link in our system, and it looks like that server does not exist in our system or has been deleted.
I also spoke to the "owner" and, after a discussion with him (without going into too many details for privacy), the channel was compromised and it’s now GONE.
He has expressed his dismay over the situation, but what happened was unfortunately beyond his control. So he will be taking the time to sort things out in his life first before returning. I wish him well and look forward to when he can rejoin us!
Where Do We Go From Here?
Where do we go from here?
The answer is simple: Where buildings and empires fall, we rebuild. And we rebuild stronger than before, aware of what happened in the past so we don’t repeat the same mistakes in the future! And that is what I’m focusing on.
I’m in the process of creating a brand new SMILE GAME BUILDER Discord server, which will be endorsed by SmileBoom and eventually may become properly "verified" as the official SGB Discord server. I don’t know yet. It all depends on a number of factors.
In the next day or so, it should be ready. Both SmileBoom and I will spread the word as soon as it’s set up!
Thank you for your patience and support! And be assured with the knowledge that the phoenix is rising out of the ashes, reborn and renewed, and ready for the future!

I’m still curious, but thank you so much for letting us know what’s up. Can’t wait to see the new Discord!
No problem. I wanted to say something earlier, but waited until I knew exactly what was going on. The new Discord (at this time) is 90% complete, so by tomorrow invites should be live!
