CPC or Competitive Programming Community is a Discord server targeting problem solvers and competitive programmers from all backgrounds and different platforms.
First let me briefly introduce Discord for those who haven't heard of it before:
Discord is an all-in-one voice and text chat application that works on browser/desktop/phone. Every server can have multiple text & voice channels accessed by members of the server or limited to a certain group of these members. You can share code/text/links/pictures at the text channels and you can talk in the voice channels.
Why should you join the server?
Basically, you get to meet other members and have group discussions without caring about down-votes. The server is currently active with over 700+ members (still have a long way to go). Also, Discord has nice features such as pinning messages/pinging users/search function and many other cool stuff.
But most importantly, for all you contest enthusiasts, you will be very interested in joining our post-contest discussions. Those are when the server is most active and everyone is raging about their hacked solutions, bugged code, how they misunderstood the statements and/or all your typical post-contest feelings then, you discuss problems.
The members are from all ranks and A LOT of them are actually quite humble and love helping others. Well, you will know what I am talking about once you join wink.

Algo-chan
Algo-chan is a bot I created to assign roles to new members. Roles? Yes, every member get to verify his identity using a command. This feature is exclusive to Codeforces right now. Depending on your Codeforces rating you get a role with different permissions and access to channels AND a different Color.
Just like codeforces, you will be assigned a different color once you set your handle successfully. Currently, I am working on an algorithm/data-structure database. Soon you will be able to lookup algorithm implementations using a special command:
!algo Algo-chan's Command List 
Moderators: These are the most active users that are willing to help manage the server in case some user decided to spam/troll/post unwanted material. (Currently: noelnadal, Bassel, Noam527, tfg, Svlad_Cjelli, stefdasca)
This server is non-profit and is managed by the community. The bot is going to be open source when it's ready. What I ask of you is to join and help us build this amazing community.
UPDATE: We just got partnered by Discrd!!
UPDATE: Errichto is holding his stream discussions in a channel hosted on the server in the main section called #errichto-yt.
