Well, what do people here think of the idea about having a discord for the Omega Update forums? I know there's already a Homestuck discord but I feel like we need one, since there isn't a MS paint adventures discord. Feel free to post your thought's. Edit: Link! discord.gg/7QjMTER |

I spend a lot of time on the Homestuck discord, but very few of their (many) numbers cross over into forum users; I could see a discord for the omega update forums being really neat! It would be quite a bit of work to moderate and welcome people, though.

It would be quite a bit of work to moderate and welcome people, though. Yeah, that was one of the problems I saw also. I feel like we need more people on the forums, so a discord is opportune. I think that mods won't be a problem on a discord since most of them here could easily be mods there. |

If you want it to be an official thing, you should probably send a message to a moderator like sharkalien.

Moderating an Omegaupdate Discord server shouldn't be too difficult as long as someone doesn't go around buying ad space for it.
Having a server seems like a neat idea! I'll message the other mods for their thoughts on it.

I wouldn't mind a Discord, it's a great program and one for OU specifically would probably include more of a forum adventure/roleplay crowd than just a general HS crowd, which is what I'm more drawn to in this community. So yeah, count me in.

Not it. For me, Discord still means the Draconequus.  |

Alright, after a little discussion. A community discord has been made! You can find the link here.

I just have zero use for or interest in messenger services. On the rare occasion I'm seeking constant real-time conversation with people who I don't know in person, I stick with IRC.  |

Yeah, I understand that. I'm not telling you to get with the times. It's just a preference.

"Slack" is just a bullshit Discord rip-off.
I'll have you know that Discord is amazing. They sent the HEYAYAYAYA video to my depressed friend, and I even have proof of it. If that isn't awesome, I don't know what is.

I use Slack for work and it's great for that purpose, but general shootin' the breeze is handled especially well in Discord. I am looking forward to video chat / screen sharing soon, too.

So uh, is this still a thing, and if so, how's the community on the Discord?

So uh, is this still a thing, and if so, how's the community on the Discord? The discord's pretty active at times. It's a good place for some casual conversation or just to ask for critiques on your fanventure or an idea you have. There's also an emote contest going on right now that'll end in a few days. |

Huh, I'm surprised I never noticed this back in the day... ("Back in the day" of last year I guess??) Well, not surprised I guess, but kind of disappointed in myself.  I'm not certain this is how it works, but I think Discord server invitations are temporary, so after so much time has passed it won't work. Being well over a year later, I'm sure that must qualify. Someone from the Discord, if it is still active, would have to link a new invitation. |
