gollark: I was browsing another Discord server and I noticed an interesting bot thing where you can say `!portal [channel]`, and it posts something like the image there in the channel you specify (the link there is a link to the command so you can easily go back to it), and a link to the *new* message in the original channel. If organizing stuff into channels is much of a concern here this could be good to implement.(also, please remove the cultist ban in <#471334670483849216> as it does not seem to actually serve any useful purpose)
gollark: It's still there.
gollark: There was one in the latest video. Did you not watch it?Edit: Tell you *what*? I mean, it was discussed at the time.
