Hello fellow ISFL enthusiasts, my name is Andruw, but most of you know me as William Howard Taft. I am a brand new offensive lineman just recently created and who is very much looking forward to my career in the league. Being a new member, I have the honor of observing the discord from a new person's point of view, this I have created a ranking of the channels in the discord from a beginners viewpoint.
Some ground rules before we begin:
1 - Channels with similar content (i.e. isfl + dsfl) will be combined together as a ranking and will be judged as a group.
2 - Channels will be judged based on their activity, their content, and their past content. That includes the amount of posts and the quality of the pinned messages.
3 - I am in fact a rookie, so do not take this seriously, and remember, no flames.
F Tier - The Garden, Bot Channel, isfl-info, Other Sim Leagues
These channels are ranked this low due to their activity and general usefulness to the server. Everything included in isfl-info I learned within 2 hours of talking in the rookie discord. The Garden and Other Sim Leagues just aren’t used, and when they are used there’s no real conversation that actually occurs in them at all. Bot Channel just provides no real substance to the league. It’s literally just about checking your rank with mee6, which has little to no real use in the long run. All of these channels are thus deemed as the most useless and ineffective for the serve as a whole.
D Tier - Gameday Chat, Pets, Gaming, Pokémon
These channels are here because if they were actually used they’d be pretty high up. You look at pets and gaming and there’s been about 5-6 total conversations in the year of our lord 2022, which is so few for channels that have a decent amount of potential. Gameday Chat is on here because the only time it’s used is during the gamedays, but in those gamedays it’s used decently often. So while yes it serves its purpose, it’s purpose is honestly pretty stupid. Pokémon is on here cause the bot that posts the pokémon posts about 95% of the posts in the channel, but the bot is decently fun to play with when used so it gets an extra bump.
C Tier - Role Select, Ideas and Feedback, League Info, Anime, Casino, Other Sports
These channels are in the C tier as they meet their purpose, but their purpose is either not interesting or doesn’t do much for the general public. Role Select is useful for the head office so they don’t have to keep resetting peoples roles, but for 90% of the server they never use the channel and if they do they maybe use it twice in their careers. Ideas and Feedback is a good channel but it’s inability to be used drops it down below where it would be around an A. Other Sports is just completely inactive as well, and I don’t like Anime so it’s down in C Tier as punishment for existing. Casino seems like an interesting idea and has a good concrete development to be a good thing for the server, but the chat is so unused that there’s no reason it should be above a C Tier.
B Tier - Rules, General, Help Channel, Mock Draft Central, Baseball, Soccer
These channels are B Tier as they are decently active and their purpose contributes to the success of the server. Rules and Help Channel have a positive use for both new players and veterans. Baseball and Soccer, while not being as active as the rest of their sport channel counterparts, definitely are used for their proper purpose and have general good conversation for the server. General would be an S Tier but it just isn’t used often enough. It’s tremendously inactive which can result in some newer players feeling left out as there isn’t much conversation there. Mock Draft Central is used decently often for it’s pretty niche usage, and it helps the league thrive, by having an area where rookies can be talked about and can share their thoughts about their own players and their peers.
A Tier - isfl + dsfl, Basketball
The A Tier is very exclusive yet has a wide amount of activity. The isfl and dsfl channels are both used decently often and fit their purpose very well. They contribute to a healthy amount of conversation about the league and let newer folks learn about how the league works and meet other players who might be older and able to mentor them in the future. Basketball is a very active and fun channel to use, and is very active, especially right now during the playoffs. It’s lack of pinned messages keeps it out of the S Tier for now, however, so get that game up and make some funny messages, users of basketball!
S Tier - Announcements, Football Talk And Rant
These are the cream of the crop, the best of the best, the two greatest channels in the ISFL discord server. Announcements is an amazing channel as everything is funneled through that channel. If something needs to be said by anyone in the league, it’s said there in the announcements channel. It’s wide usage and ability to inform over 900 users about what’s going on in the league makes it an S Tier channel. Football Talk and Rant is arguably the best channel on the server. It’s wide array of activity, covering almost every user, making it the most active channel in the entire server. It’s ability to bring everyone together and create great content and just have fun is unmatched by any other channel. It’s pinned content is wonderful as well. Deebo Samuel does in fact have a nice butt. All in all, these two channels are the best in the server, and are deserving of the pristine ranking of the S Tier.
Well, that concludes my personal review of the ISFL discord server, and the ranking of its channels. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing all the old content put in these channels and the content inside of them, I hope that this can create positive discussion about the channels in the discord and how the channels are viewed. If you would like this to be a series, and would like me to rank your team’s locker room’s channels, just DM me an invite and I will in fact do so, but just because I do it does not mean I will be nice about your server. With that being said, I appreciate you reading and I hope that you all Have a Good Day!
