Title: Discord
Post by: Anaris on December 02, 2017, 01:50:50 AM: It has been suggested that it might be helpful for BattleMaster to have its own Discord server. I have created one, and it can be accessed at https://discord.gg/DDquJ56 (https://discord.gg/DDquJ56).

If there is interest, I will see about adding a link to that on the Chat page, or something similar.

Discord is becoming a very popular service, especially for gaming-related chats. I daresay there are many players would would be much more interested in chatting (text or voice) over Discord than over IRC.

Post by: Anaris on December 02, 2017, 06:42:06 PM: My main worry about Discord is that it's a single company, and while I haven't looked into it, I would frankly be surprised if they have a profitable business model at this point.

So anyone who sets themselves up as dependent on Discord for their community is at risk of losing it all if they collapse.

I use discord a lot, but just about never for voice chat, not in over a year either.

I got initiated to it a while back due to gamer friends, but now I see it used in all kinds of contexts, like random social associations, and even government workplaces.

Under sea level, does that count as well?
