No, it does not.

Alr, cos I could have sworn I heard some talk about something like that sometime ago

Certain users make various personal servers, but there's no official VSBW Discord group and won't be anytime soon.

apparently the site has bad history with discord. There are plenty of users who got banned due to discord drama

VSBW Lore

Half of them later had their bans lifted since they were banned for false accusations, but let's not attempt to unearth multiple year old drama. But we actually have added some offsite rules saying most cases are irrelevant except for things like harassing people in DMs, publicly threatening people with serious actions, legit plots to destroy the community/wiki, impersonating people with malicious intentions, or borderline cybercriminal activity besides piracy. And furthermore, staff members are also not allowed to promote hate speech, though they won't be demoted for telling obvious jokes even if they may be of poor taste.

But anyway, the reason for why we can't have an official VSBW discord group is because Fandom's TOS technically would still apply to official Discord Servers intended to be this site's server and all higher up VSBW staffs would need full permission to moderate it in such. But for example, half the people who are staff members themselves would have been demoted and/or banned if places like Moritva's Vs Central (An independent server owned by her), for regularly saying some casual slur words and/or sort of talking shit behind other staff member's backs and what not. But that's why it's a bad idea to make a Discord server, because there would be pretty much no freedom to do anything Discord was meant to have and anything that would be used for would just be on the Fun and Games board. There's not rule against making your own servers and inviting various VSBW members as friends and/or making plans to update verse specific upgrades/downgrades. But an official site wide VSBW server is not going to ever be made.
