    You know me, I keep an eye on lots of things - I keep an eye open on what's going on, what's hip, what's new.

    Discord seems to be picking up some popularity. I've joined several servers and keep it open on my computer and on my phone. I imagine some of you do as well.

    I want to know how you feel about Discord. I've made this a "poll" in order to get a variety of feedback. I'll be making an effort to compile these together so that you can express a wide variety of feelings and I can get a better picture.

    Please take the time to answer the poll and let us know your thoughts!

    Discord has completely replaced skype and for the most part, TS for me.

    A Shotbow Discord would be great as long as you disable @here and @everyone and I would totally join if you guys made one.

    There would be no way we could not disable those for the community at large.

    Sounds good to me, I'd love for Shotbow to have a Discord server.

    I would maybe stop by since most of my friends and I use Discord ourselves! Meet new people potentially!

    I dont think discord is made for a "big" community.
    I use discord and it's practical for a team, or a small minecraft server, but on shotbow, how will you manage it ?
    - You can't search channel name/people
    - You can't have a private channel with password (you can by managing groups, which means you need an admin)
    - The ban system is basic
    - Toxic bots are more toxic than toxic ts bots
    - There's no channel "category"

    I suppose it's not the goal at all, buy discord can't replace teamspeak.

    You can modify the permissions of all the members in the Parameters -> Roles tab -> @everyone, if I'm not wrong.

    I've only used discord in its early stages, when it still had a lot of flaws. That being said I'm not sure about its current state but it used to be quite buggy. The concept is very nice though, so if the current version is functioning properly I would assume it can't harm any one and could only benefit those who want to use it.

    Sorry for the confusion - the answer was a double negative - being that we would absolutely disable those for the community at large.

    Discord is really convenient to use and has cool features (e.g music channels)
    Shotbow should have a discord.

    Discord is better but IMO the chat channels could be annoying

    That's actually one of the prospects of Discord I'm excited about. Text room per game, mute what you don't like.

    Just saying discord has not replaced Skype in any shape or form. Anyway, I appreciate the teamspeak's existence and would appreciate a official skype chat room, however seems useless when we got a regular chat room. Discord could be good, however if you just want mic access to all, you should probably update the shout box instead. :stuck_out_tongue:

    tl;dr all good just not all needed

    We certainly will not be making a Skype chatroom

    I'd hope not, those get attached far to easily.

    Teamspeak is solely for communication.

    Discord (imo) is more casual and stuff

    Teamspeak>Discord

    Not that Discord is bad I just like teamspeak more.

    I think that @everyone is something that is absolutely necessary, if it's missing from a Discord I'll be very unhappy :mad:
