Kevin Carr's Gloves 4353 Posted Sunday at 09:02 Share Posted Sunday at 09:02 45 minutes ago, Andrew said: tbh It might be handy as a backup but I wouldn't want us to change platform unless we really really had to, I like the old school-ness of this place and the format works for the relatively chaotic discussion style here. Discord would be a fuckin shitshow without a lot of pre-setup. While catastrophising today I have thought about this a lot and landed on the idea that if TT was dead I would rather build a completely new forum than move to discord or reddit or whatever. This word has totally fucked my brain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6431 Posted Sunday at 09:06 Share Posted Sunday at 09:06 Discord is for active continuous mass conversation so the format wouldn't work as a replacement for here. Forums encourage longer form responses whereas discord is really just chat. But as a backup, I think it's a good idea. I had the same thought yesterday.

Monkeys Fist 46236 Posted Sunday at 09:11 Share Posted Sunday at 09:11 I propose our back up is the comments section on a specific video on xhamster. No sign up required, everyone knows where to go, free and easy to drop when things are fixed. We should pick something unlikely to be removed for copyright claims or whatever, so I’d suggest German Housewife Gets Split in Two by Romanian Plumber. (1993). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 12883 Posted Sunday at 09:19 Share Posted Sunday at 09:19 I thought we used Reddit last time at least for news when the site explodes. I checked but clearly no one else remembered. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about it but I ended up posting on the Patreon and most of the members were asleep while I was fixing stuff so it didn't matter too much. As a note, you dont have to be a paying patron to see the patreon posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 5326 Posted Sunday at 09:26 Share Posted Sunday at 09:26 Must say the discords I am on are virtually identical to posting here in every way. I would guess that those having a bad issue are on very fast moving discords. Not a problem we have. The good thing about setting it up is everyone has a chance to get on whilst this place is functioning, rather than the old timers not ever being able to regroup if this place goes pop. Personally, I find the discord layout much cleaner and the fun we could have with the voice stage! Fish and gemmil could do presentations on Xg etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could turn on slowdown to suppress messages of course but I'm yet to see that be enacted in a way that isnt tedious. Also here you can browse a conversation at your leisure on a single topic. Discord you'd have a smaller group of channels meaning multiple simultaneous conversations all overlapping with each other. Some people would login and see they've missed 300 messages - they just won't read them, so conversations will become more focused on active participants rather than community discussion. I've been on discord for 8 years now, it's a great platform in many ways but I don't think it would be a suitable replacement for here. We'd lose members in the switch.

As I said, I think you are probably used to fast moving ones, the main one I am on is very easy to click on, see the unread and work my way through. Also easy enough to duplicate sections as here and we certainly have no need for slow mode to be turned on. But simply, having it set up so everyone has a point to gather in a catastrophic situation is a good idea imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6431 Posted Sunday at 10:25 Share Posted Sunday at 10:25 You don't think ours would be fast moving?? It'd be wall to wall unfiltered, uninterupted Gemmill. Is that something you want to see 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 5326 Posted Sunday at 11:00 Share Posted Sunday at 11:00 Actually it might be a good idea to host one of the next matchday threads on there to give everyone a chance to sign up and test it out. Anyway, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it makes sense for people to join up ahead of any issues but it's obviously going to be at individual discretion. Just need to be thoughtful about the way we do it to prevent abuse/access from undesirables 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
