The AutoHotkey Discord is a Discord server used by the AutoHotkey community.

===== History =====

The server was created by //tomoe_uehara// on the 17th of November 2015.
The server saw very little activity for the first two years of its existence. At one point only 11 messages were sent in the server for a whole year.

In January of 2017 [[user:runie]] joined the server, and three months later he was made an administrator.
As administrator, //runie// made changes to the server such as adding a basic set of rules and roles.
The invite link to the server was also posted on the [[community:AutoHotkey forums]], causing a trickle of members joining.

In June of 2017, a custom Discord bot written by //runie// and [[user:Geek]] was added to the server.
The bot could pull up arbitrary documentation from the AutoHotkey documentation pages and perform other simplistic commands.

Throughout 2017 the server owner //tomoe_uehara// started being less and less active on the server and at one point had been inactive for nearly five months.
Because of the inactivity, the server ownership was transferred to //runie// by Discord.
