Hi all.

Anyone know if this site has a Discord? If not? Can anyone send me an invite to a cool Discord? Thank you.

It's probably some trendy thing that youngsters use.

Yes. I've heard about the "Discord" thing a lot, but have no other knowledge about it. Some reactions here are very... unpleasant. The OP didn't deserve this.

Most of them are light-hearted. Maybe he made a mistake assuming us old proggers would know what Discord was.

Yes, but the word discord is capitalized here, so it should be easy to guess that it may not mean what the word says, but a proper noun. Better to ask or do a Google search before, I'd say. Some reactions that I "meant" are not discourteous and all, but rather disheartening and unpleasant.

Discord is awesome but I don't see PA officially adopting it anytime soon. However, nothing prevents you from opening an unofficial server for the PA community and drop invites here. Smile

The old farts on this site can’t even handle FB, so Discord is certainly a step too far.
I say that with tongue firmly in cheek, of course, because as much as I find FB invaluable, it is the only social media platform I’ve ever used (since MySpace). I suspect at s9me stage, though, I may end up looking to Discord as so many FB groups and pages are putting more of their content there. I’ve never actually looked at the app, but the fact that every screenshot I have seen is white text on a black background puts me off, as I find that far harder to read than black text on white.

I tolerate FB, tho if it weren't for family and a few real life friends I wouldn't bother having an account there at all.

Twitter however is another matter, and I virtually live there.

Well, I can throw you a bone! Here's a bunch of servers I enjoy using for good discussion. I'm not really getting some of the hostility and pushback in this thread towards discord. It's a great and different way to communicate about music or really whatever you want, I enjoy using both Discord and Progarchives.

Yes: https://discord.gg/VtCzqgg

Zappa: https://discord.gg/YeQTJ84

Canterbury Scene: (trying to pin a link for this down, will update when I find it)

There's only one site I need for prog stuff and it's this one which I've been around since as far back as 2007 on my old account... though now retired I have a lot more time to come and irritate you lot!

Hi,

With apologies for some folks thinking they were being funny, and not wanting to say anything of value to the thread!

DISCORD is used for gaming a lot, and there are good things and sad things with it, mostly with folks that are not capable of paying attention or staying tuned ... as an example, our guild was raiding a boss and some folks were playing Diablo at the same time and another was watching something else on tv.

Discord's idea is excellent, and the guy that helped put it together is one of the best code artist I have known and he was/is in the guild that I was a part of in WoW Classic (don't play it anymore). 

There are some nice things that might help and be fun, but in the end, I think that folks would be even more scattered since you can do more than one thing on your computer, and if you have 2 of them (or just a laptop next to you), you can do a lot of stuff ... that in many ways was not cool as the folks in our guild playing 2 games at the same time!
