WarDoc 261 Posted May 4 Could maybe we get a discord as the irc chat is pretty much all but dead in the old users who filled it are not showing up anymore discord is easy to setup i think it be good for the community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaneee 1,348 Posted May 5 +1 on that. Much easier to use in my opinion. Also CorpNewt if some of you know him has an excellent bot which will store your hardware, links, quick tips etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poco 919 Posted May 15 We'll have to see what happens, right now I want to focus on the fixing the forum. Are you suggesting using an existing server or creating our own? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be best for Admins/Supervisors to make their own so they have full control over it. Wouldn't take long for the IM followers to join. 1 WarDoc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavo 636 Posted May 15 I have already created a Slack channel to replace the IRC chat https://join.slack.com/t/insanelymacworkspace/shared_invite/enQtMzYzNzgxMzI3NjQ5LTBiOTEyZjg2NmQ4ODgzZjUwYmQzNjljYzUyYzA1MTYxODljM2ZkMjVhNWZmYTM0NzcxNmRmNTQ0YjZlZWE2MjQ 1 Allan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I can say that Discord has over Slack is that everything is 100% free. Slack on the other hand has robust integration with a huge number of tools. 1 Allan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WarDoc 261 Posted May 17 more users have discord and dont want a extra client gotta remember that and most people don't even know what slack is or want to pretty much its a dev thing not a normal user base thing ease of use matters to most users and a dark theme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuruu 0 Posted May 17 someone made the point in chat that shifting users from forum to chat is not good for community. in this line of thinking, best to keep chat, whether IRC or otherwise, as part of the website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
