Ok, folks, I’ve tidied up and resurrected our old Discord channel.
I think the best way to use it is for live chat only. I know when we set this forum up, there was a bit of concern that a discord channel could kill a forum, so I think the best way forward is to use it for chatting if we’re in games like Animal Crossing that don’t facilitate voice chat. Well tbh any Ninty game 🙂 but also things like watching the esports racing etc. and cross-platform chat as well; if we can get that lad @SRR away from his one-armed bandi… I mean heroin fix…. I mean The Division 2 😉
Wider conversations are always going to be better here because they don’t exclude people who aren’t able to be on the discord right then.
I’ll set up a text and voice channel for each category that we need. And just let me know if we need more. The benefit of it being set out in separate categories is really that if by some miracle we have more than 3 or 4 of us using it, then there isn’t confusing crosstalk between say AC and the racing or Warzone or whatever.
I think now more than ever it’d be good to hear each other’s voices again.
