Should we get our own Discord server?
(1/8) > >>
Zerviscos:
I know most of us still use IRC, but I think we should also have a Discord server. A lot of people have been using Discord now, since it's really easy to use, and it's practically on mobile.

Dunno if IRC even has mobile, but it'll probably be pretty clunky.
Failure McFailFace:
I say yes.

The subreddit /r/touhou has its own Discord server, and it's really active, so why not us? This forum is decently active, too, but the IRC whenever I come to take a look isn't that chatty at all. Maybe it's relegated to an obscure link somewhere in the forum.

Our gaming community would definitely benefit from a Discord server in place of TeamSpeak (we still use that, right?) since it's a lot more feature-rich than the latter.

You can definitely log onto IRC from a mobile device, and I might even say that it's incredibly suited to mobile devices where connections can be congested and bandwidth may be limited or pricey. There are many clients you can use on your phone and when properly set up it's about as reliable as text messages. It's also possible to set up a server on your computer so you can share the same session across all your devices, similar to Facebook Messenger or Google Hangouts but without the data overhead.

Activity depends on many factors. Most people stay connected to the MoTK network at all times so that they can be reached and see messages left for them. People come from varying places with varying time zones, so there will inevitably be times with absolutely no activity.

I joined a Touhoucraft Discord server. Told me to stay away from r/touhou discord. lol

Setting that aside, people don't lurk every part of the forums, so this might get ignored, we need atleast a number of people to agree or not to make a Discord server, and and an admin to make it.

I mod the /r/touhou Discord, I would be delighted to know who said such a thing, because from what I lived for a few months, it has been a good place.
