Why use it
Unlike relying only on transient chat, teams can preserve guides, mods, bug discussions, and announcements as searchable knowledge while permissions and moderation develop core contributors.
Where it fits
Use analytics, feedback, player support, and updates to fix issues and decide what to improve after launch.
