Discord - Come Chat & Meet New Friends!

In summary, there is a suggestion to create a server for the forum on Discord, as Discord is seen as a separate platform from the forum and would not cause confusion for new members. The speaker has recently discovered Discord and enjoys its real-time chat aspect, especially since other social networks have moved away from this. The forum also has an internal chat feature and there are plans for a chat event in the near future.

Hey all

How about a server for the forum on discord? I know this forum had some experience with chat that didn't go so well but I don't think those problems would move to discord. Discord is its own separate thing, no new member will go there confused on where to post on the forum.

I only recently discovered Discord and I'm enjoying it a lot. I've been missing something like IRC from the world ever since it became less popular. I mean, I made most of my current friends (including my wife) on local IRC channels! Every social network seems like a step backwards from real time chat now.

Thanks for the suggestion. Chat was a good experience, it was just disrupted when we changed forum platforms. We have an internal chat feature here now and I am planning a chat event in the next month or two and hope for them to become more regular. Thanks again!
