Hello Pups!
I have been posting with others, and I do wonder...
Shall we have an Official Discord Server for this Forum?
The idea for it, which I have in mind, is that it shall have a similar layout to this forum. Like a Category for General things. A Category to "Express Yourself". A Category to discuss "101 Dalmatians". A Category for Fanfic's, Art or OC's. A Category for RPing. A Category for Other Media.
I do know a number of Pups on here do have Discord, so it shouldn't be too empty on here. The general rules I can think of are the same ones we have on here, mainly being respectful of others, along with...
You can only be part of the Server, if you are a Member on here. Those who are admins on here shall also be Admins on the Server.
Of course, the one issue I can see with this is...Not everyone has Discord. However, a plus about Discord is that it doesn't require you to install any new programs, as you can use you directly from your Web Browser, too.
This is still in the thought process stage, but what do you think?
You open to this Server having a Discord, or have any other suggestions for areas or rules for it, too?

This has been attempted before. People have refused to join or left because they don't like each other leaving us with a bunch of separate servers.

meh, that's their prerogative, but it doesn't mean a server isn't a good idea. Forums are dying and I think it's a good idea to bring Sparky's into the 21st (?) century.

I do agree with having an official Discord server. Heck I would even volunteer my own Discord server if that's okay

would prefer a new server which more than one person has control over, tbh... all things considered...

I'm just saying that I don't see the difference between this and other attempts. I don't think forums are dying necessarily. Proboards might be dying, but forums themselves aren't outdated. You still have communities like Reddit as proof of that. I'm not against the idea of a Discord server, I just don't see why this attempt will work where others failed.

Hm, are there any potential Safe Guards we could put in place, to prevent such issues from past attempts?

This isn’t going to be replacing the forum, is it?

Even though discord has completely replaced forums in many cases, I don't think it should here. Having an actual website gives us an internet presence that people can find on Google, theoretically allowing new members to find us. <_<
Everyone wants their own server to be the chosen one, just look at how many 101DS servers there are with the exact same members. =P
