'''The Tennis Isles''' | '''The Tennis Isles''' was a Discord server that served as the home for the [[tennis]] world on Discord from 2019 to 2026. It coexisted ''separately'' alongside the current forum site ([[YTPMania]], then [[YellowTealPurple|{{YellowTealPurple}}]]) for more informal conversation and voice chats, as well as serving a central role in tennis for under-18 players after the YellowTealPurple's shift to 18+ users only. It was managed by some of the former and current [[Tennis Staff]] members; {{infinitysnapz}} was its owner up to its closure. | ||

In September 2023, a verification system was put into place to vet out bots and other potentially unwanted accounts. Users are asked to prove their existence (or the player they claim to be), usually by sharing their [[YouTube]] account. | In September 2023, a verification system was put into place to vet out bots and other potentially unwanted accounts.

By February 2026, it was realized that the server had run its course and was no longer needed. On February 21 after much deliberation a notice was put out that the server would be closing by the end of the month; this was soon changed to a 24-hour period. The next day, the server was closed and archived. | |||

TTI has many custom emojis, many of which relate to various matches and in-jokes within the community. Many emoji also relate to non-tennis references to particular members, in particular {{nm41}} who ran the server for quite a while. | TTI has many custom emojis, many of which relate to various matches and in-jokes within the community.
