Should we keep our clan's Discord active when only a few raid members log in?

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth keeping our clan’s Discord active when we only have a handful of people logging in for raids each week. It feels a bit dead, but I also worry that shutting it down would make it impossible to regroup if a few of us want to run the new dungeon together on a random night.

Been there. Our clan kept a quiet Discord for months even when raids felt sparse. It felt dead, sure, but when someone suddenly had a free night we could at least drop a message and see if anyone else was in. Shutting it down felt like closing a door we might need later.

We tried turning it into a pure announcement board and still missed last minute regroupings. People don't check it, then you can't pull a group together. We left one channel for quick ping nights and kept the rest archived.

I wandered into a mindset where I thought the platform was the bottleneck, but after a few weeks the drift continued. A couple of people showed up for a raid, a few more for a dungeon, and the rest forgot about it. Maybe the fault lines aren’t the chat at all, just schedules and energy.

Is the real problem the tool or the interest? If only a handful log in anyway, maybe the issue isn’t the server but timing or leadership decisions.
