The server has gone through a lot. While we reached 2000 members (including bots) over the course of around one month, we also got raided twice, and we had a name change, which combined lead us to losing a total of probably around 150 people. Our server was called Discord Growth Portal, and suddenly became Peach's Castle. Many people left the server confused, by not realizing that we are still the same community and haven't changed anything other than the name and image of the server. Since the change began in the afternoon, we went from 2001 members all the way down to 1990, and that number would go up and back down throughout the rest of the day up until the early morning. The lesson is, changing your image can have raid-like effects on user count, so you have to be very careful not to rebrand your image too much or it can cause many people to randomly leave...
