I use discord all the time and I'm new to this website. I'm just wondering if there's a discord server available.
It would be nice to have one so I can quickly ask for help without waiting for hours.
First of all none of us should expect that the others will get the chance to reply after a few minutes so being patient is a gift. Plus a quick answer might not be as helpful as expected...
The internet age makes people get desperate in a few minutes if hours, before your best shot was to call someone or send them a telegraph or a letter. (And wulfo still seems to live in the cyber version of the Stone Age.
) It seems unlikely that the admins create a discord server or channel any time soon. Plus wulfo defends the existence of the IRC channel. And yeah, his internet connection is slow.
I am not against discord but I am not it's fan. Sometimes people urging others to provide an urgent answer can be a real nuisance. I guess there are moments where taking advantage of a forum seemingly static nature seems to be a great asset whenever we are dealing with complex stuff. Besides did you already used the search bar to find your answer?
Well, there is a chatroom.
But no Discord, no.
And even if there were, previous experiences with the likes of Skype tell me that you would still have that same wait time haha.
At the same time, lets consider this:
People said: "IRC? Let's go and Skype!"
Then pPeople said: "Skype? Let's go and get on Discord!"
Really? Whatever.
