Archives
This topic is a list of text channels that used to be in a different topic, such as in discussion or creative, but have since been archived because they are no longer needed or aren't relevant.


 * metroid-dread-no-spoilers: When Metroid Dread first was announced, this channel was created for users to talk about the game without any fear of spoilers. It had use after release, if users wanted to talk about the game but hadn't yet played it.
 * metroid-dread-spoilers: For users to talk about Metroid Dread and want to discuss spoilers: This channel was relevant before release, because trailers besides the E3 initial trailer were considered spoilers. Metroid users wanted to go into the game "blind", which means without knowing as much as possible about the contents of the game. This channel also had relevancy on release and post release. After the Metroid Dread spoiler rules were lifted, it lost relevancy as users could discuss dread spoilers in any of the channels.
 * dread-help: For users who needed help in Metroid Dread. When the game first came out, not much was known about the game, and guides weren't yet written, so this place was helpful. As time went on, it lost its relevance.
 * metroid-dread-streams: For users who wanted to specifically post their streams of Metroid Dread. When a new game releases, a lot of people usually tend to stream the game.
