General Questions
Q: How do I get started on the FWB Discord?
The FWB Discord consists of a number of channels where you can hang out and chat about any of your interests. If you’re new to the Discord, say hello in the #introductions channel and stop by other channels that interest you. Once a month, we host a voice chat for the new member hang where you’ll get an idea of how things work around here. You’ll get a quick Discord 101, learn about the history of FWB, Discord channels, events, and how to get involved. Keep an eye out on the events section on our website to find out when these events will occur.
Q: How do I keep up with everything going on in FWB?
Check out TL;DR, FWB’s weekly roundup of everything that goes down in the Discord. Following us on Instagram and Twitter are a great way to stay in the loop outside of Discord as well.

Check out the FWB Events page to see if there are any IRL events in your area or host a meet up in your city by reaching out to members through location based channels on Discord.
