Really? It seems like it's gone down a handful of times for me in the last week or two. Which seems like a lot when compared to other services.

I love Discord. Only problem is topics can go way off-track, so separate sections for major areas would be key.

Here for it too, though I'm interested to see how it affects the forums.

This 100%. People have written entire paens on the utility of forums as repositories for answers and esoteric information as compared to Discord, which is more disorganized and presents as a chat tool but has subsumed a lot of the functions that traditional forums used to offer.

Now I tend to use Discord socially for sharing wordles and news articles in my college friend channel. There's also a couple hobbyist channels I frequent, though I'm trying to limit my use in my effort to live my life more concientiously. Having said that, I would be interested in a Discord if the quality and quantity of posts were equivalent to the forums, but given the nature of Discord as a platform, I don't think that's a possibility.

Voice chat is the only positive I can see coming out of this to be completely honest. I worry that it will draw activity away from the forums themselves over time and leave them like a lot of other old school style message boards nowadays: empty.

There are always the Theme Park Stop and Hauntvault Discords if people really need their fix, but I kinda prefer keeping our fragile ecosystem here as stable as possible. Just my thoughts though!

I'm down for a discord server. I'm on several and I own my own for Colorado VF. If the channels are minimized I can see it being successful.

That's my biggest concern. I don't want the both to cannibalize each other, so I'm trying to find a good way to balance it... if possible.

Maybe keep the channel count low and for specific things that make it unique to the server?

How did you get limited invites from limited channels? lol.

I'm saying if you put too many channel topics in there to discus things then it just becomes a mirror of "Inside Universal Forums". I would think you would want it unique to draw people to it.
There's a lot of Great Universal podcasts/you tube channels out there. Maybe have a channel for that for people to post their favorites. I subscribe to the popular ones out there "Tim Tracker, Super Enthused, etc.." and I'm always looking for other great content out there.

The Voice Channels are a main part of Discord also though and I don't know how you would implement it here. Since its discord though you could always expand to other topics for the VC. (Video Game Co-op meets/ live podcasts/HHN House announcement watch parties, or other watch party content, etc...)

Just throwing out ideas/examples above.

I use Discord and am fine with it as a tool. I don't like the voice part of it because it's a way for info to get missed if you aren't in the chat when it happens. I'm on other servers and will run across a text discussion that you question the source on and someone would say "it was in VC". Well theres no way to catch up on that, so you end up missing things.

I think the best outcome would be an emphasis on voice chat, rather than text channels. Balancing Discord and an older-styled web forum is pretty tricky without Discord just cannibalizing the activity on the actual boards. I believe that a properly moderated, streamlined, and segmented Discord server unfortunately invites that cannibalization imo; and so honestly and maybe obtusely, I think I would prefer just a few cluttered text channels to something like what the Parkstop Discord has going on. That is a wonderful server to get your Discord theme park fix that has been running for years and years now, let it fill that niche and keep the forums active and healthy.

I would much rather like to use a Discord server to more personally get to know people from this forum. I've tried to build connections with people on here that I recognize again and again, but frankly there's only so much personality you can extract from an old avatar and a person's opinion on Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom haha. I've met lifelong friends from forums, but we didn't get to know each other on the forum itself. It took that more personal chatroom to get to that point. It would've been Skype or Chatzy groups back then. It would definitely be an interesting and different thing to moderate, but I would honestly really appreciate a space like that.

Discord is unsafe in my opinion. All it takes it one bad actor to get an invite and stuff could happen.
