Max's Hub

Max's Hub was a series of Discord servers used by Max, his friends, and friends of friends. It was a central area for people to interact and discuss with one anther, hence the name.

Origin
Max’s Hub first took form on October 23rd, 2016 as a replacement to Skype. Propositions for switching to TeamSpeak 3 were shut down as the introduction of Discord provided a perfect middle ground. It had the same customization and layouts of TeamSpeak 3 yet retained the simple UI, first time setup, and ease of use that Skype had.

History
Over the two years of its existence, Max’s Hub had gone through three Discord servers. Each had its own feel, administrative system, and services associated with it. The original Max’s Hub, as aforementioned, was opened on October 23rd, 2016, and was an instant success, peaking at approximately 50 users. After almost 9 months of use, the server was closed due to unknown reasons. On August 26th, 2017, Max’s Hub was reborn with a new server and government system. Again, it pulled in a lot of users, mainly the original users of Max’s Hub, but was closed after about a year of use due to personal issues relating to Max. The final Max's Hub was opened on July 24th, 2018, and was again abandoned for personal reasons after only two months from opening. It still exists today in the form of Nathan's Not Hub after it was handed to him.

Criticisms
Throughout the servers' existences, many have criticized the management of the server in all aspects. Most of these criticisms would occur when a user was kicked, banned, or muted for breaking a rule or causing a disturbance. These criticisms, along with general annoyance of the server dictatorship, sparked the creation of the government system.

The government system was criticized for its serious response to a not-so-serious issue. Many users expressed how having any form of administrative system was not appropriate for a server with close friends and not strangers. A smaller group found it was an acceptable response to moderating the server and that it prevented biased administrative decisions. It was used until the closure of Max's Hub.
