Discord Server - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Urwen · 05-13-2020, 06:05 AM

I've noticed that multiple sites and forums have Discord Servers, so I wonder, should BD have one too? It might encourage people who stumble upon the server to join the forum as well. Thoughts?

Um, you don't approve of the suggestion or something?

I don't even know what it is.

You don't need to. For general info, look at the WIKI site under "Disruptive use" and "Controversial content". I am sure the Barrow Wight is uninterested in garnering that sort of attention:

From the name, I guessed as much.

Discord has had problems with hostile behavior and abuse within chats, with some communities of chat servers being "raided" (the taking over of a server by a large number of users) by other communities. This includes flooding with controversial topics related to race, religion, politics, and pornography.[45] Discord has stated that it has plans to implement changes that would "rid the platform of the issue".

Yeah, doesn't seem all that desirable.

Bumping a dead thread just to let you know that this thread is full of incredible ingnorance, if anyone is still looking after this site and/or cares about attracting new users you absolutely should have a discord server.

This thread is absolutely laughable.
