 The server is particularly notable for some of its members. Founding members of Weezer [[Jason Cropper]] (joined [[December 22]], [[2020]]) and [[Rivers Cuomo]] (joined [[October 20]], [[2021]]) as well as [[Ryen Slegr]] of [[Ozma]] are present, but have yet to send any messages in the server. [[That Dog]] singer and previous member of [[the Rentals]] [[Rachel Haden]] (joined [[May 18]], [[2022]]) was briefly active upon joining but has been inactive since.  Of most note amongst Weezer figures present on the server is Weezer historian, webmaster, and unofficial fifth member, [[Karl Koch]]. Dissimilar to other Weezer-related people to join, Koch (who adorns his username and moniker [[Karlophone]]) has made an effort to maintain a semi-consistent active presence on the server, regularly interacting with other members. He first joined on [[January 21]], [[2022]] to address a login issue with his Weezerpedia account, and later in March (prompted by a user asking him a question) he again began posting. This return spurred a wave of questions and discussions which he engaged in, culminating in the creation of the "#karlification" channel, where he has continually fielded user questions related to Weezer and Weezerpedia.

-The server has spearheaded many collaborative projects and changes to Weezerpedia that have affected the style and breadth of the wiki. While many of these things may have been done regardless of the server's existence, the greater sense of community, dedication to the site's quality, and the ability to more easily research or discuss with others has caused an undeniable increase in the rate and quality of improvements. A brief list of major changes made to the site as a result of the Weezerpedia Discord server includes:
-*Main Page redesign and implementation of cycled monthly featured content
-*Proper standardization of formatting across the entire wiki, including the italicization of page titles, introduction of infoboxes where they have previously been missing, a greater assurance that every page includes necessary features such as categories and a "See also" section, a greater dedication to wiki-like language, etc.
-*A major increase in the use of references on pages
-*An overhaul of the [[List of Weezer concerts|concert]] naming system
-*Significantly greater focus on the works of Weezer members and Weezer-related people, including the musical projects of [[Karl Koch]], [[Ozma]] and its members, [[The Haden Triplets|the Haden Triplets]], [[Jason Cropper]], [[Carnival Art]], etc.
