Website / Forum Chat using Discord

[Lordmonkus]

I know this has been mentioned and something in plans and I have no idea what Jason and Brad have in mind or if you guys have anything really thought out and planned out as of yet but I thought I would direct you guys to something that I recently stumbled upon in the last couple of weeks and could be a really good and simple solution. Discord (https://discordapp.com/) is a voice and text chat program and can also be run through the web browser so people do not have to download and install anything if they did not want to but it does have the option to have the app on their PC or phone. I have been using it for the past couple of weeks and I have to say it is really good and extremely quick and easy to get it setup. An administrator would setup the main channel and any sub channels required and then all you would need to do to have people join it is post a link generated by the app on the website / forum for people to click on and they would be brought into the channel either in the browser or the app automatically. Anyways, just something I wanted to direct you guys towards as a very simple, easy and cheap (free) solution to the talked about chat for the site.

Thanks for the suggestion Monkus, and yea we have looked at a lot of solutions but we do have something being worked on that will solve this.

[Lordmonkus]

I figured you did but I had no idea how far along you guys were and this is so ridiculously easy to get setup.

[SentaiBrad]

I can't say exactly, but it will be worth it.

[Lordmonkus]

Would you guys care if I setup an "Unoffical Launchbox" server in the mean time until you guys get your stuff completed ?

[SentaiBrad]

Yea let's hold off for now please. If our solution doesn't work for everyone then we can change it up.

[Lordmonkus]

Alright. I certainly don't want to do anything you guys don't want done.
