NikoBaltimore Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) So I initially had a lovely and long post about this but basically I created a Discord. Now the idea came about before the debate but considering how things went it drove home the idea that this might be something useful so poor @jaedmcdoesn't keep having to post friendly and not-so-friendly reminders in the "..What's going on?" topic. So the long-term reason is so we can have a place for things from wrestling watch-alongs to discussing live sports. Considering political discussions are a no-no here (sorry again for adding to that) I believe Discord is the way to go. I'm willing to take suggestions for things to add/edit/remove and if there's anybody willing to assist with moderation please send me a message. I'm cool with moderating this as I trust you all to not be a jerk but help would always be appreciated. Anyway, the link is https://discord.gg/7u3hySK and I hope you all get good use out of this. Oh, and for those curious I did get the blessing from the admins so while we did call it DxVxD Discord it's all good on their end. EDIT: I updated the initial post to clarify that the Discord chat is a general catch-all place to discuss politics. So please check the link if you wish to do so.

Zimbra Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Is this a safe space to show my age and admit I don't really know what a Discord is? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I didn't know/care about it either until a few months ago when checking Fire Pro stuff. But basically it's a chat room. I consider it IRC but with more bells and whistles. So if that sounds to your liking then you should be fine if/when you join. Edited October 2, 2020 by NikoBaltimore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I don't know if I can consolidate the accounts but if not whichever one you want to stick with I can just remove the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I appreciate you saving me the embarrassment of having to ask one of my nephews. I'll sign up when I get off work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Please never let us use Voice chat... Unless it's for a game. Maybe we can really blow it up and get a 10 player Among Us game going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I renamed the general voice chat for video games. Not sure if I'll need to splinter that off but we'll see how things go.

Not gonna lie, I figured somebody was was doing an OSJ style apology for upsetting folks when I first saw that. Also, I have actually told kids to get off my lawn in the past, so I'm confirmed to be roughly a billion years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Come one and all, use my lawn, it's just grass, who gives a shit. Also, Discord is like mIRC in 2020 with wacky features like GIFs and streaming if you do that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) It won't let me enter my birthday so I can go no further. ??? EDIT: Was it because I tried to just have my name as "Curt" instead of Curt McGirt? Edited October 3, 2020 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Can't see how the name would be an issue. But if it doesn't work after putting the whole thing then I'll have to look into that. EDIT: Nevermind, saw you got in. Awesome.

I'm still stuck at the birthday question. I can click on the different options but they don't stay there and just remain Month/Day/Year. It won't let me refresh the page either, every time it just brings me back to the birthday question.

Shit, I'm sorry. I saw somebody named Curt and mistakenly thought that was you. I'll look into it tomorrow. EDIT: So it is a bug that people are complaining about. So it's not just you. I'll look into it when I'm... a bit more sober. Edited October 3, 2020 by NikoBaltimore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I know "Nick in Maryland" is what you're going for, but your screen name on the discord definitely evokes The Simpsons in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 TIL NikoBaltimore used to be NickMD, since I was thinking about the "Hi everybody"-guy from Simpsons, too, I never made the connection before clicking on the Discord link. This was a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fellow old ass, Discord is just a faster, more instant of a message board. it's what all the cool kids use now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to the board I try to not advertise it much except for if people wanna chat during a big PPV. Or when political shit gets out of hand and people start talking about it here. But I'm happy with it being used and glad that some newcomers had fun chatting Sunday. I won't push about it but if you ever want to do anything with the chat I'm always open to any ideas.
