Hey, I'm wondering if anyone as thought to create an official discord channel for the forum. Discord is growing in popularity with pretty much every type of community, and while I'm an long time IRC user I can see the appeal. It's easier to join, easier to moderate, and you can set up subchannels for each team that only they could read. Having off forum communication has helped my own team a lot, and I think a lot of people miss out on irc because if you aren't familiar with the steps to join, it can be difficult.

I'm pretty sure it has been discussed before though I haven't been around for it so I don't know for what reasons we haven't moved it. I imagine local chat logs and being less resource-intensive are two of the bigger ones.

Been a while since we discussed it, but yes I believe it was mostly the logs. We can't get all of the upper staff to agree on whether or not to move so since we don't have any real reason to move (Registering isn't r that Co prorated even though discord is much easier for first timers) and moderation and customization is far better with people who know what they're doing (Vox/Amber), we're sticking with IRC until further notice.
