[UPDATED] Forums are a reverberating "No"

It seemed like popular opinion from my last article was that a National Chat Room was a better option than a forum space. Silent Warrior confirmed me and Oraizan's fears that the junta (hehe) would not be partaking in chat. But we're setting one up regardless and if you are a foreign citizen you can feel free to join, too. The more the merrier.

Below is a short tutorial on how to use the discord app:

Without further ado Here is the discord Link: https://discord.gg/YWdsJwv

I won't be online to greet so just setup your profile and chat at will

We might need Wiki editors

Where is the eJapan Discord?

Hanzio Day 3,366, 01:36

I will link everyone to it in this article at around 2pm est (when I get back home basically, the channel isn't finished yet, work in progress)

Discord will go the same way as IRC, eventually will die and be run by a select few who mask their friends and not the people who require it.

Apart from the actual game killing the drive in people to stay active I cannot see why people do not want forums.
They give new players (and old) history on what the country has done and is doing, along with back-ground information on players who actually helped the country without people trying to recall what happened 3 years ago with a dodgy CP/congress/etc.

Gdocs require more than one player to have full access to as I have seen where important information had been lost due to newer players not knowing who to ask for the information, this in turn had them spending countless hours making up all the information again.

Personally I agree, one can't beat a forum space. But these darn kids and their apps and all. I figured we might give it a shot until we might find a better host for a forum maybe... because one person said the link didn't work.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Is Discord an app for a cellular phone or a web based chatroom for a computer?

2. When installed, is Discord obnoxious when you are at work or something that you can keep running in the background and attend to when you have time?

Thanks,

There's an app for mobile devices, as well as a web browser and PC application. Just depends on your preference on how you want to use it. Same for number 2 - depending on what you set your settings to, yes. You can have everything muted so it doesn't alert you and you can just check in when you're able, or you can have it so it notifies you like a text message.
