  • Fuel Rats Discord CLOSED!
    • Hi @everyone. It’s been a long road for this server, but unfortunately it’s had to come to an end. The janitor team has decided to close the Fuel Rats discord server due to security concerns and overall effort required to effectively maintain what we want out of it. Effective immediately, the server will be going under read-only, and will be shutdown later tonight. Come join us on the official IRC servers at irc.fuelrats.com (https://kiwi.fuelrats.com:7778/ for those wishing to connect through browser) ~ CL4P-TN
