General stuff can be put in the #members_area on discord,
for youtube videos we have a channel called #youtube_videos
and I can't help with clutter really, apparently people like to chat more in #welcome, while things like that should be in #members_area imo.
all good points .. but indeed you don't have member status for no reason XD members area is there for the members and for as far as I moderate it member channel is so far only used for business or not at all .. so I could be used more if welcome gets to crowded... for the rest we added a few text channels as a test.. if they get used llike they should we keep that system so chats get more organized.. if not used we have to look for another way to keep the peace... all up to the dc users from this point
