Internal Communications

Protohaven uses several methods of internal communication including Discord, email, as well as postings in the shop. Members are expected to check these channels on a regular basis in order to be aware of any important information, updates, or events.

Discord

Protohaven Members enjoy access to our Discord server to connect, share, and learn alongside fellow members. It is designed to be a peer-to-peer resource for all members.

As part of our community, here are some of the channels you have access to:

• #general to connect and generally chit-chat with one another

• #buy-and-sell-trade-free to, well, buy and sell, trade, or give away

• #help-wanted to seek out advice or coordinate project help from other members, and where we post project requests submitted by external and internal community members.

• #show-and-tell to see and share all the cool things you’re working on both inside and outside the shop!

Access to Discord is provided in our Welcome email, we ask that you look out for a DM from Protohaven admin about associating your Discord with your Protohaven membership.

When joining Discord, we ask that members use their first name and last name as their display name.
