Subscriber groups

Subscriber groups have the ability to have a Discord Webhook URL assigned to them.

• Public articles. When sending a discord notification for a public article, it will be sent to the World's Discord Webhook URL (as set from the World's configuration page).
• Private articles. When sending a discord notification for a private article, the notification will only be sent to the Discord Webhook URLs of the subscriber groups assigned to that article and that currently have a webhook URL assigned to them.
