They’re selling the discord? Is a discord even worth anything?

Data and user base is worth money to someone. The discord is part of their assets. If anybody wants to scrub their discord data, there are ways to do it? Although it’s possible it was already backed up.

I assume the liquidators are just telling them not to delete it because it’s a company asset and they try to sell anything and everything to recoup debts

The names/addresses and associated email data for all the subscribers over the years will be valuable to any company that would want to peddle music-related items to an audience. Any money selling that list to multiple buyers will help pay down debt.

Except, theoretically, all that data is in the member information of the company. As you were supposed to be a member to be in the community.

I get there being value in their database, I just can’t figure out what someone would gleam from the discord.
