Seems we've all had our difficulties, huh? I do agree about Discord servers having their place--and I do believe that they were originally intended as a place to voicechat about games, so it only makes sense that they'd be really good when it comes to that purpose! I think they're also good when you need to ask a lot of questions and receive answers fairly quickly. For example, if you're in the midst of some sort of commission and want to ask clarifying questions to the commissioner, or send them updates on how progress is going.Originally Posted by Cleobel
Yep yep, strong agree with this too. Intimidating is precisely the word. When this happens to often, I end up losing the will to try catching up at all, and just keep getting left out of the conversation.Originally Posted by Kentucky Fried Torchic
Not to mention, the inconvenience of how if you want to find out more info about a given subject, you need to actually go into the server and ask questions. With forums, it's all publicly available so you could perhaps find the information you want directly from a search engine, potentially. Which I quite like, since I'd feel weird about joining a server just to ask a question and then leave, but at the same time, I don't particularly like staying in servers that are too active, especially when I don't know anyone.
I do agree with what Cleobel said above, though, with how forums and servers are good for different things--but in that same vein, using servers as a perfect replacement for forums...is not precisely a 'perfect solution' by any means. XD
