EnglishWhere to Find the Current SMBArena Community and Support Links
Updated
The main SMB Arena website (smbarena.com) is still online and is the stable hub, since it runs independently of Discord. The original Discord server disappeared on 12 October 2026, and the community has moved to a new server created right after the incident. To reach people now, join that new server; to offer old chat backups or contact the team directly, use the email link on the site; to support hosting costs, use the Ko-Fi link.
What happened to the old Discord server
According to the notice on the site, the SMB Arena Discord server vanished on 12 October 2026. Eden GT, the server's creator, had his Discord account disabled after suspicious activity was detected and the account was allegedly compromised. After he set a new password and recovered the account, the server was gone. The team wrote to Discord Support immediately and opened a new server, inviting back the most active members. As of the notice, they were still waiting for Discord Support to say whether the original server can be restored.
What survived, and where to find it
| Item | Status | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| SMB Arena website | Still up and running, independent of Discord | smbarena.com |
| New Discord server | Active, with the most active members back | Invite link on the site |
| Old chat logs | Backup exists only up to 29 December 2023, held by StudsX | Ask via the new server or email |
| Anything older | No known backup | Only if a member kept one |
The site itself is unaffected, so treat it as the reliable place to check for updates and links.
How to join the new server
- Open smbarena.com.
- Find the Discord invite link in the site's notice or community section.
- Accept the invite and join. The notice says activity has resumed there, so this is where current discussion happens.
- If an invite appears invalid, check the site again later rather than searching for third-party links, which may point to the dead server.
How to help recover lost data
If you have any backup of the old server, the team asks you to get in touch by email or through the new server. Useful things to mention:
- What you have (full export, partial channel logs, member list, media files)
- The date range it covers
- The format it is in
The only backup the team mentions is StudsX's chat logs up to 29 December 2023, so anything from after that date is especially valuable.
Supporting the site
The site thanks supporters who help keep it online through Ko-Fi, naming Jroweboy, Throught1m3, AleFunky, Simplistic6502 and Alp. The Ko-Fi link is on the site if you want to contribute to hosting costs. The site does not state what, if anything, supporters receive in return, so treat it as a donation to keep the site running.
