I think it's much better than using TeamSpeak, since you don't have to "pay" money, although subscribing does unlock a few features, in order to have something set up for a clan/guild to use, and the text chat area is a lot friendlier.
One of the nice things about it is with the voice part of it, you can be in the voice channel in Discord, while playing a game, and not have to use the voice part of any game. It can be rather annoying ingame, to listen to people screaming into their mics, or speaking languages you don't understand.

It's basically just a more robust version of xfire or steam that's focused on group chats (and activities) rather than direct messages. If it was actually active, it honestly wouldn't be far from how JKA was for me back in the day on dial-up which was essentially a glorified chat room, as the times I could actually play competitively were few and far between. I do miss the old text only days at times, jumping into voice can be a bit anxiety inducing for me, but I don't mind it with a group that I know.
That said, it seems like we know at least a few people that are definitely playing some cross platform games like Sea of Thieves and Diablo 4 coming up. I just thought of it as a free way to get people more easily interacting with each other again, and maybe even gaming. With the broken links, and so forth, I just really don't see the forums being anything more than archival at this point. Taking a note out of DarcWolf's posts, Discord seemed like something we could make our own in the modern landscape.

Possibly because it was a duplicate or something, hopefully he finds his way back to the forums again!
Oh, did it? Didn't do that on purpose, though. Nasty bots!
I detest any kind of social media, so I won't jump on the Discord-train with you guys, but enjoy!
I'll keep checking the forums from time to time then.~ Master Val?rii

Imagine how crazy it is for me?! I was in my early 20s and now I'm 43! I have three kids, oldest is 15 haha.
I also reminisce on the days gone and really miss them. It was a unique community with very like minded people who enjoyed the same things. I REALLY wish a game like that would come out again as I would for sure play it.
Thanks Rando for the message. I would love to get on a discord chat.
I don't have a whole lot of time to game like many of us now, but would sure like to.
I also appreciate that this forum is alive and well and hope it remains so for a long time to come. I am ok to help financially if required.
Thanks for the messages! I love hearing from people!
