General Channels

Discord has a limit of 50 pinned messages per channel. Because of this, Pokepals chooses to archive it's channels after 50 pins (maximum pinnage) is reached. This page is dedicated to preserving the memories of previous general channels. As of June 6th 2018, Pokepals is on its 10th general channel.

## What is a "general channel"

Upon the creation of a discord server, you are given 2 channels, one dedicated to text, and another dedicated to voice. Both of these are referred to by the name "general". It is for this reason that a majority of Discord servers have channels named "#general", and this was a trope that Donovan wanted to avoid. Shortly after the first channel hit 50 pins, server owner Donovan took this as an opportunity to make his community different, by not having a channel named general, "because if your server has a channel named general, its a boring server". In each general channel, Pokepals usually pinned a message or picture that the server found funny and hysterical.
