CoA Discord, how to get invite
-
I searched the forum for more than an hour and i can't find where to get a discord invite...
-
This'll do it. Should be a thread somewhere, but God knows where.
-
Literally could not find it either. MIRC is still more active however
-
It's really not. Especially if you want to bug the DMs.
-
If you click the bubbles next to the bug icon on the forums toolbar it takes you to the coa discord.
-
Chat icon, top of the page, next to Bug Reports icon.
-
Are more people on there than IRC?
-
Currently about the same # of people, and usually, the same people in both places.
-
Thankfully you don't actually have to be present at all times, since the chatlogs are persistent. We also have a bunch of channels, so we were able to banish the Sportsball dorks into obscurity. Much prefer it to IRC.
-
I generally stopped using IRC- persistent chatlogs are such a huge deal for me, because my net might often cut off. I never miss anything said or PMed to me.
Plus, discord works from your phone, too, with the app.
I'm going to propose we move here for our "official" channel from now on.
-
@polaris Hear, hear! A much better platform.
-
Doesn't work for me
I press the button and it just goes to a black screen
:(
-
IRC is sooooo old and people are slowly moving over to discord, so why not make that the official platform?

@puffy
Clicking on the icon doesn't lead you anywhere."You find yourself in a strange place. You don't have access to any text channels, or there are none in this server."
-
Discord is young folk technology. Took me days to learn it. And its harder to hide at work!
-
@polaris Not like IRC couldn't be accessed by a phone app.
No lost messages is nice, but we already have forum chat for that. -
You can download an app for it to your smartphone. It's easier to hide it at work when you can slide it into your pants pocket :P
-
Come on, it is not a difference. There are apps for both.
-
Discord, we can use scripts to automate things. Like notifications when the server resets. We hope to get a sending bot set up. We also have forum thread bots that could be linked to module updates hopefully or other announcements.
-
Still no way to actually get to the channel regardless.
