On my French unicycling forum, I renamed it “Monobot” (unicycle is monocycle in French). I changed the avatar as well and recently chose a new one:
Did you customize Discobot for your community? In which way, to what extent?

On the https://forum.dark-gaming.com site, discobot has a nickname called “darkbot”. That’s about it though.

On my forums, I changed the discobot’s language line by line to keep it from looking too much like an emotionless machine

At times discobot has no identity. This is why people like to change the text that it sends.

I usually recommend turning off the bot’s welcome message while keeping the tutorials enabled. So all messages to members are sent by the actual community team and they mention the option to start the tutorials.

We have a mascot that represents our community of developers, and we replaced Discobot with them. Their name is Codey (“code” was the operative part) and we worked with a design company to give them a backstory, etc. etc. etc. Pretty fun experience designing a character. We use Codey to handle any sort of automation that interacts with our users.
Anyways, this is Codey.

Codey is a defender of identity through identity security, so they have to be!
