-#general began as a test channel by [[Yuto]] for developing bots on Discord. However, due to his lack of experience interacting with developer APIs, the test bot only succeeded at a basic ping-pong test example. This bot user is the same bot that later became [[YutoBot]].

-===== Remote Semesters =====
+===== Remote Semesters (June 2020 – August 2021) =====
+During the remote semesters, #general became the default group chat for communication in Andref.
+==== Conversion to an Announcements Channel ====
+In early 2021, once Andref gained the announcements channel feature, #general was quickly converted into an announcements channel while keeping the send-permission enabled for @everyone. To see announced messages, an announcements channel subscription was added to [[Channel:luigi]].
+===== Modern Use (August 2021 –) =====
+#general now is an effective public chat room for posting interesting content and messages.
