I am planning to create a discord server for proxmox for instant help I just need it to be official over the weekend any staff looking forward to do this?
 
Keep in mind that "Proxmox" is a protected company name and they don't like someone using it. If they would like to have an official Discord server I bet they already would have created one. My guess would be that they aren't interested in moderating another official platform and will most likely complain that you rename that discord server.

And you are not the first person creating a Discord server. See for example here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unofficial-proxmox-discord-server.108779/

Yeah! There is one place, for free support, this Forum and if you have a sharp look, not only the users also some staff is online all the time... so there is no need for another "cry and help"-Place.. really not! If you are ever in the need for real 24/7 one hour response and help.... thats what subscriptions are for!
 
What I don't like about support chats is that the same stuff is asked over and over again. Thats already annoying enough here with lazy people not googling before creating a new thread. In an ideal world people would first google or use the forums search function to find a solution that already got answer 1000 times and they don't have to ask for help in the first place. Thats an even faster way to fix a problem than asking for help in real time in a chat. And if you won't find a solution for your problem there are people with more knowlage who can point you to a thread with a solution they remember.
If it is a new problem it will take some time to fix it but then you at least help the next person who is googling for the same problem.
Search engines won't find stuff discussed in a chat, so knowlage discussed there is lost and will be asked again and again.
Thats also the reason why I tell all the people sending me PNs, to fix their stuff, to create a public thread instead, so it might future readers too.

So I'm personally not a big fan of support chats and I wouldn't contribute there.
But of cause no problem if other people see that differently and use it. I don't have to use it.
