I wanted to highlight this and bring up something I saw Fay say in chat. Primarily, that Fay would be sad if we lost our current chat.I answered "No".
Truth is, I have access to SARP's Discord. I actually dropped in yesterday in voicechat, even. But it's not where the bulk of my interactions with people occur. My use of Discord is mainly to get in touch with a few MMO gaming friends.
But in context of sARP, the "SARP" Discord channel is mainly something that's there and used by whim/opportunity.
I wanted to clear up that Legix was talking about someone that came to SARP discord with a problem from other discords and twitter and received support from the server.Legix: Because it happened to someone on the main Discord. A new member.
> GodI kind of read up on chat archives.
There's a hug box channel where one member came the other night that had been bullied on twitter and other servers by non-SARPers. Legix said this in chat:

I think that you mentioned push notifications a year ago and I was all for it. I think what SARP lacks is something on my phone or at the side of my screen that tells me about whatever I want it to tell me about: new threads, mentions, messages, etc.
And yes, I've permanently banned people from discord and I don't need to give a reason why. Be nicer people. This is subjective, but I have a heavy hand when it comes to people just around to stir up trouble.
I would like to emphasize that there is rarely an argument poop talking, or bad mouthing on my discord. When there is, I delete the messages. I have done this twice.
I personally would like to see Wes on discord. We may or may not refer to him in ways he wouldn't like (basically we compare him to God a little bit too often to be PC) and he has his own emoticon. Those are the only things I'm embarrassed by and wouldn't want him to see.
I would be willing to see discord go if we had a voice chat capable platform for SARP and push alerts, but it's a really important part of the SARP experience for a lot of people, including myself, and I'd be sad to see it go.
If it were to be integrated into SARP, I would ask to be a mod there.

I doubt we'd ever be rid of all forms of site-based communication. Even if we lost the chat, people still have OOC threads and group PMs (I mean, I'd hope so).I love discord, I use it for almost every game or RP site I am on to communicate to people. I even have a discord set up between me and GrammarPaladin to create our new species. I do not like the idea of solely using Ame's discord. It is nothing against her, but if we only have that, some people wouldn't be able to communicate with others since some are banned. If she unbanned them, maybe I'd support discord only, but for now I say keep both.
I think that's inaccurate, especially if we're to understand that the Gart Discord AND Ame's Discord are always so healthy. It also doesn't match with the chat peak of 17 I normally see most days (barring community meeting days or holidays, I think) compared to the 20+ that are almost always active via Discord.Well, ya. But the majority of talking I assume goes on in the community chat.
