I don't trust that Discord will be around longer than MetConst.
And sometimes, you may be somewhere offline where you can't reach MagConst.
BEHOLD

MAGConst Main Channels
MAGConst E3/Beta Library
MAGConst Threads

The full MAGConst archive (includes ALL attachments)

I used a tool called Discord History Tracker to do this. https://dht.chylex.com/
The smaller archives are HTML files which have the chat logs and a chat log viewer that's pretty similar to discord. If you are connected to the internet It'll embed links and attachments.
The 9.31GB full archive is a full DHT database that can be opened with the DHT program itself or with SQL stuff. That's about all I know, I'm not well versed in databases sorry.

Final message.

stop using discord as a wiki.
stop using discord as a forum.
stop using discord as a file host.

discord is an instant messenger.
it is a centrally hosted cloud service.
it will eventually shut down.
it has no archival functionality.

moving away from IRC was a mistake.

decentralize our instant messaging. https://matrix.org/    https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge
upload to main site.
post to forums.
contribute to the wiki.
review and rate the hacks you play.

anti-discord action!
