    Someone needs to tach Popps how to use Google docs for his walks of text. You can put a goggle document there.  B)

    I know there are a lot of plugins out there to allow you to post news and stuff from various websites to your website/forum. So it would not surprise me. :)

    Here is the setup of discord.  The top general is the one used.

    Its just a stream of talk, cant post images.  Can post images in other areas.

    Some were using giant Gif size files all the time so no pics is better.

    Sunsetting the official forum is a mistake.

    A forum and Discord are two vastly different forms of communication with profoundly different consumers and purposes.

    Perhaps more importantly, forums and Discord provide interaction, access to and recording of information, and searching of information, in substantially different manners. 

    Losing the official forum will be a huge loss to the community.

    I would suspect that Dark Age of Camelot and The Old Republic will both be keeping their forums?

    As will Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Diablo, Nexus Mods, Steam, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and pretty much every other modern company?

    Normal businesses seem to add to their communication channels, not reduce them. Especially with a proven format that has been in use for decades and which the company has 100 percent control over.

    Sunsetting the official forum is a mistake.

    How much does a forum like this cost per year?

    Switch kind of puzzles me... will lock many many players out. Also team don't forget that discord only records channels history so far, anything too old won't be able to be searched unless in permanent threads, at least it is so on all the other servers I am on, leading to a lot of frustration.

    For example I could search for some information from a dev, and its been replied before so I get ignored, but the search is not able to find it anymore. This is especially a problem on channels that have a lot of action, as the old posts get deleted by discord faster.

    And can I suggest posting the discord link in the post? Where do I find the link? ._.

    100% in agreement. Cutting the official forums to save money reeks of desperation. Is the margin of profitability that thin? If so… that’s a bad omen for the game. Put ur heads together & come up with another viable alternative. Diminishing means of communication isolates community which is never good, proven time and time again.
