So, it is not clear that using something as Discord is gonna be a clear win. For example, look at this page where they complain about it: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kotaku.com/please-stop-closing-forums-and-moving-people-to-discord-1847684851">https://kotaku.com/please-stop-closing-forums-and-moving-people-to-discord-1847684851</a></p> <p>Being that true or not, my point is that it has to be a change that needs to be considered carefully.<br> </p> <p>That being said, sometimes I wish I could just make a question without having to create a new "conversation thread" (new email, subject,etc), but previous attempts of using IRC for example have not caught on, because the community is too small.<br> </p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Mariano</p> <p>PD: I quote from link above:</p> <p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">"Discord is great for talking in the moment. It’s a place for real-time conversations (or at lease those a few hours old if they’re not as busy), a fancy way to manage multiple chat rooms and voice comms, and if that’s what you want—and millions of people around the world do, for loads of needs and wants—then great!</p> <p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">Forums aren’t the same though. They’re nothing like it. Forums are more deliberate, more considered, and while they’re far from perfect—I’m sure you can post a billion examples of people being neither deliberate nor considered on forums—the point is that they’re more permanent. </p> <p class="sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY">Forums create a record, an archive we can search through, so that whenever we want to revisit issues, or find help with a problem, or see what was happening during a certain time, we can do that. There’s a paper trail, and while sometimes that leads to embarrassing takes on tv shows and game reveals, other times it’s providing an enormous help with technical issues or parts of a game you’re stuck on.</p> <p>Discord simply can’t provide that. It’s a river running in real-time, and while it does have search functions, the way the whole app is structured means you’re simply never going to get the same levels of detailed discussion or archived information as we can get from forums. If places want to open a Discord and run that as something <em>else</em>, then cool, but using it as a <em>replacement</em> for forums is a disaster."<br> </p> </body> </html>
