I have been to Discord.
It sucks. (pardon my french)
It is graphically stupid, hard to find what you're looking for, and very annoying just to look at it.
I will never understand why I.T. people feel the need to change things on a website that work perfectly.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If the forum costs, and Discord is free, (as I read in a previous post) that's something that is somewhat understandable, maybe. Although I'm sure someone is making more than enough money from people who buy gold at ridiculously high prices, to pay for the Forum.
Why didn't they just set it up exactly like the forum. Same colors, same background, same categories, in the same order, etc. ...... as in MAKE IT LOOK AND WORK EXACTLY LIKE THE FORUM.
You can just picture the Techs sitting around, bored outta their gourd, saying....."ooooh let's move this over here. Then let's change the background. The let's put this here and that there. Then we can place all of this stuff in this one section and label it "this". Oooooh we are so impressed with ourselves. Go TEAM."
Just like engineers. They design something, then never really use it on a day to day basis, so they just don't care. They just want to pat themselves on the back.
Bottom line:
The forum is very user friendly, the Discord is not.

Totally agree. I've tried it but made a very quick exit.Mathias (US1) said:

Why don't they just turn the forum over to the players if they're too lazy/it's too expensive? Get a few tech savvy folk to take it over (I'm sure there are plenty) and regular forum users can appoint/vote for their own moderators.

@Bennet Drake (US1) this forum is owned by Vanilla not GGS.
Other companies have Vanilla based forums.
I guess anyone with the knowledge COULD start their own unofficial forum but any mod on that would not get announcements, or be told of down time
They could not turn to GGS for assistance, or report bugs or ask questions.
