Go to openboxcomm.in/join and click the invite link. It takes you to OB Junction. Complete the onboarding flow and you are in. From there you can pick the server that fits what you want to do: Jn. for community, Dev for coding, or GG for gaming.
Start with Jn. if you are unsure. It is the main community room and people can point you toward Dev, GG, or upcoming spaces. You do not need to join all of them at once.
No. Start with Junction and join others when you find something relevant to you. You can be in all of them at once or just one.
Junction is the main entry point for Open Box. It is the community hub where everything starts. New members land here first, complete onboarding, and get pointed to the right server for their interests. General discussion, announcements, and events all come through Junction.
OB Dev is the builders server inside Open Box. It is for developers, designers, and anyone actively working on projects. You will find channels for code help, project feedback, tool discussions, and collabs. If you are building something or learning to build, this is the right place.
OB Connect (formerly OB Network) is the networking-focused server. It is for professionals, freelancers, and students who want to meet people, find opportunities, and grow their network. Still taking shape but open to join.
OB Study is a server for learning and accountability (Alpha). OB GG is the gaming server (Beta). Both are open to join but still taking shape.
Events appear on the Events page with time, location, and agenda. Most events happen on Discord voice or stage channels. Event registration happens at tickets.openboxcomm.in. Log in with Discord, find the event, and claim or buy a ticket.
Open Box runs a mix of events: AMAs, dev showcases, gaming sessions, study rooms, and networking meetups. Some are free, some may be ticketed. Events are announced in Discord and listed on the Events page on the website.

No, Patreon is the only official way to support Open Box. It funds hosting, domain, and operations. Every contribution helps keep Open Box free and running.

The full community rules live in the documentation at /doc/rules.
Yes. The full Acceptable Use Policy and community rules are documented at openboxcomm.in/docs. The short version: be respectful, no spam, no hate speech, no unsolicited promotion, no doxxing. Violations are handled by moderators.
Use the report function inside Discord or ping a moderator in the relevant server. For serious issues, email support@openboxcomm.in with the server name, username, and a description of what happened. Do not publicly call people out in general channels.
If you think it was a mistake, email appeals@openboxcomm.in with your Discord username, the server, and what happened.
Depending on the severity: a warning, a temporary mute, or a ban. Repeated minor violations escalate. Serious violations like harassment or hate speech result in an immediate ban. Appeals go to appeals@openboxcomm.in.
Yes, in the right channels. Share a short description, a screenshot or link, and the kind of feedback you want. Work in progress is welcome. Cold promotion, affiliate links, and dropping unrelated links in general chat is not allowed.
Post in the project-feedback or showcase channels inside OB Dev. Include what you built, what stage it is at, and the specific kind of feedback you want. Vague "thoughts?" posts get less useful responses than specific questions.
There are designated self-promotion channels in some servers for this. Drop a short intro, what your content is about, and a link. Repeated posting of the same link or posting it in unrelated channels is not allowed.
Yes, that is one of the main reasons Open Box exists. You can post in project or collab channels in Dev or Connect, reach out via DM after interacting in a channel, or ask for intros in the relevant server. Keep collabs professional and respect the other person's time and boundaries.
DBW stands for Day Before Weekend. It is a weekly update posted every Friday across Open Box servers and the blog. It covers what happened that week, upcoming events, server news, and anything the team wants to highlight. A good way to stay in the loop without reading every channel.
Open Box occasionally opens applications for moderators and community contributors. Watch the announcements channel in Junction or the blog for any open calls. You can also express interest by emailing team@openboxcomm.in.
Subscribe to the DBW blog posts on openboxcomm.in for weekly recaps. Follow Open Box on Instagram or X for shorter updates. The blog covers major announcements, events, and server news.
