Hey guys and gals,
As some of you know who received our email the other day, we're considering moving the forums over to a new platform called Discord. For those of you that aren't familiar with it (I wasn't till I joined a little while back) here is some info;
If you are not aware of what Discord is, here it is in a nutshell:
It's very user-friendly and available on both desktop and mobile. Like any new platform it will take some time to get comfortable with it but overall offers much more than vBulletin which is now dying a slow death during these times.
That being said, before we commit to such a change I would like to get some feedback from you guys. I know there is a loyal bunch here on forums, so we don't want to rock the boat too much. I just think longer-term Discord will be a more active site for our community both here in the forums and over on the main site too.
So, let us know if you have any questions or concerns about such a move. At the end of the day, we want to ensure most are onboard before making such a commitment.

If you are not aware of what Discord is, here it is in a nutshell:
- Discord is a group-chatting platform originally built for gamers that have since become a general use platform for many kinds of communities.
- Discord is divided into servers, each of which has its own members, topics, rules, and channels.
- Discord also allows users to voice- and video chat, as well as live stream games and other programs from their computers.
