Tripredacus Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Discord is the de-facto chat replacement of the modern age. Other similar programs still exist, such as Arrow Chat, but they are usually used as site-specific chat rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NojusK Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 There is a revival server called "Escargot MSN Server" that works very well, they are currently trying to support WLM 2009 =p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a discord account, but it seems more like a slack-esque platform Plus I mean it's kinda designed to be for gamers or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Well, Reddit and their derivatives killed off traditional forums, not Discord. As I put earlier, Discord is a chat program. The design of it is totally foreign to the layout of a forum and using one as a replacement for one is unwise. I've been a member of a forensic/archiving discord and being able to find any information that isn't recent is a nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
