We should try the forum mode on there. I feel like even if 100% of b8ers went on the discord, there would still be a pretty clear divide between chatters and forumers since the culture is so different. But also a good amount of overlap, so it would be worth it overall.
Though there's something about the 500 post limit and purged topic format that just feels more comfortable though. I could make a bot that simulates that on discord. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard!

Voted "Maybe/I don't know/Unsure" because I sort of disagree with the premise of the question. Discord and a message board are just not really comparable (unless we use this threads feature which I've never even seen used before tbh so idk how similar it is). I'm already on the discord but the convos there aren't the same as following a thread here so I just don't think it could replace it, and if anything, the chat scrolling by even quicker would make me less likely to try and follow it. ...

Oh I don't think there's any better way to ask the question. I just don't really think its migrate-able. I guess I might ask "If board 8 dies, would you spend more time on the discord due to the void left by it" but that would be like "becuase i lost one thing, i now do a different thing", not "i have replaced the thing with another thing that can fill the same role" don't mind me, i am being overly pedantic. ...

Like others, I technically joined the Discord but seldom check it. I suppose if the boards shut down without warning, that's currently the default place I'd go to see what was happening, but dunno if I would stay long term.
I regularly post in exactly one Discord server and dunno if the kinda stuff I come to B8 for would work well on Discord. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Probably not. I don't use Discord and I don't do well in real time chatting environments; I need space to keep editing and deleting posts to feel comfortable. I could probably adjust eventually, but I likely won't even try.

The Discord forum mode is very bad imo, but I'd probably use it resentfully if the actual forum went down. I like it fine as a chat service and already use the B8 Discord for that though. (Although I only really visit some of the sub channels)

I guess maybe I'd check in there more often, but Discord is a bad platform that's begun its own downward slide. Forums/message boards have a lot going for them that Discord, even with its faux-forum mode, can't replicate: the ability to maintain ongoing conversations intended to be referenced and backread is the main thing, since it's a very "in the moment" design, as well as the lack of searchability, the social pressure that comes with its user list/"<name> is typing" format, the ephemerality of messages making it less worthwhile to make longform contributions, etc. I think you can only retain the vibe by moving to another forum. ...
