It has been suggested that Chat be moved offsite to Discord. I personally don't know much about it, but I know a lot of people using for gaming chat and such. You'll have to register, but you can check it out here.

https://discord.gg/9RQQJXe

From my perspective, the main advantages of it are:

It's not on our server, so it won't lag or go down during games.
It's more modern, so you can do things like direct messages, images, attachments, etc.

On the other hand:

There's no direct integration, so everyone will have to manually create an account if you don't already have one.
Usernames won't translate from CP, so you might not be able to tell who is who.
It's a completely separate system, and the CP mods have no control over it, so it's kind of a free for all.

I personally don't care - I'm only an occasional chat user anyway - so whatever most of you chat users want, I'm fine with. If most people would prefer giving Discord a try, I'll change the link in the header.

Using a different site instead of fixing this one

There are other chat systems out there, yes. The good ones cost money. I doubt any of them are going to easily integrate with our decade-old version of vBulletin.

For what it's worth, the general decision is that I'm not changing the link in the header until this season is over, but we may go the Discord route next year unless we can get this server humming along better. There's one fundamental change I know Kyle wants to make this offseason, so we'll see how it goes.

For now, you're welcome to pick whichever you want, but I can guarantee you that Discord performance will hold up much better under stress.

get through the year. Move to something else next year.

The one in the OP expired? Odd. Seems fine to me. I don't know much about Discord, so if someone wants to give me a working link, I'll get it added to the OP.

Discord chat is active for today's games

**007** · 04-26-2019, 07:24 PM

I think this needs a bump

**DaFace** · 06-27-2019, 02:21 PM

At this point, I'm leaning towards just removing the "normal" chat as an option and pushing people to Discord. Change my mind.
