I'd be interesting in joining the Discord server, but I also understand any hesitation to hand out links to new users or people who aren't well known |

I'm on Discord every day because it's replaced what I used to use and the Twitch gaming means I'm constantly checking a few Discords per day for random information. One more server isn't going to harm things. I don't know who's on staff anymore. |

Anyone else still out there that hasn't joined in yet? |

I'm in! Hope to see others join up or invite some fresh members if you know of someone more into the Discord thing thesedas.
As LA said, you can probably PM him, Protege, or myself right now and we'll send you an invite! |

So... After some chaos, the Discord is UP! If you are interested in joining, please PM any member of the staff. I'll be sure to check my PMs daily for the next few weeks. Once you have an invite, feel free to pass it on to other members as you see fit. |

Originally posted by Lord AlexandorI agree with this move. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces again! EDIT: I'm going to sticky this for the highest exposure (not that the board moves fast enough for it to really matter, look, let me just do some mod stuff KEKW) |

If I don't hear back from Xeo by Saturday (6 Feb 2021), I'll start sending invites to people who are still active here.
It would probably be best to not put the invite code anywhere public - keep the spammers and bots out. |

Originally posted by Lord AlexandorOriginally posted by Xeoman I think you should just do it, tbh. I was going to volunteer, but if you're already jumping on this, I think it would be best to just start getting it up and running. |

Originally posted by Xeoman Yea, I've set up a handfull of servers on Discord and I currently run 2 of them for different groups of friends. It's really easy to setup one and then give full control over to someone else, too. If you're interested, I could make a quick mockup server for you to check out... ![]() |

Sounds like you're experienced with it LA?
Spread the word to others! Hopefully we get some more to chime in on this. |

The nice thing with Discord is that it is fairly light-weight, so it can just be running in the background. You can easily mute channels and servers, too, so it won't pester you if a channel is very active. Game integration means we can invite each other to games or just see what everyone is playing. It can be as public (or private) as we want it to be. We could even have similar colors for the roles (admin, mod, etc)! |

I am not on discord super often but I am definitely open to the idea. |
Xeoman Posts: 11726/11747 |
I've talked about this with a few others now and am maybe becoming open to the idea. I'm moving this thread to the General forum in case it maybe gets a little more exposure. I'd like to see others chime in on it.
I don't like using FB thesedays but one thing keeping me from deleting it off my phone is that it's still one of the only channels I have to still communicate with some members here. I have a few of you on Steam and whatnot spread out. So centralizing all this on Discord could probably be cool. |

Originally posted by Mei Koyoki I don't disagree. But the board can still exist; probably as more of a monument to the good ol' days. We gotta face the facts; almost no one shows up here anymore. We're all adults now, and have lives outside of message boards. That, and the board has been taken over spam bots with waves of phishing attempts every several days. I just think it makes sense to have a more centralized, light weight community at this point. I don't want us to all to drift apart forever, to be honest. Hell, I can't even reach out to Cairoi, Xeios, Astrophel, or anyone else at this point, just because we all drifted apart. With Discord, if we ever do decide to dissipate for good, at least we can still have points of contact for any non-communal contact to keep friends close by. Face it; without a Discord, once people tell themselves they're done with Xeogaming or Acmlmboards forever, that's it. I just don't want to see that happen. |

I would 100% be on-board with this idea! I vote we do this! |
The Accidental Protege Posts: 2627/2641 |
It seems that activity is at an all time low, which is to be expected for a board over 14 years old. We all had some good times here. But what if we just started a discord server? I'm sure most of us are familiar with it, and it would be a neat way to maybe even have a little reunion session.
Just a thought. |
