Captain Caboose Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Status updates aren't a real way to have a conversation with multiple people Taking a look at the ARG Discord right now its a pretty solid working system, you can divide up subchat-rooms for certain topics its free so why not :? here's the comparion to Teamspeak, Curse Voice and Skype: https://discordapp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafiozol Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 we could use it in the same way like the old irc chat (special tab) imo it's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N!K Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Mobile support? I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. TrollDemo Ph.D Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I already use it with my main community, I don't see a reason backpack.tf couldn't use it as well. The ability to set different userlevels is the main reason we moved to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQ DAWGZ Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The server I admin on run a discord chat. Pretty smooth interface, and it's pretty easy to connect to a server. You can set certain people to have certain permissions, lock certain channels on the server to certain ranks. Multiple chat channels, and multiple voice channels. Another good thing to note is that the desktop app barely takes any resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good thing to note is that the desktop app barely takes any resources.This basically. I use it with a Twitch channel community, and it's really convenient. Emotes are readily available and diverse, you have easy VoIP and text channels, along with restrictions to certain channels by rank, mics and alerts can be muted, etc. Overall, it's really great for managing decently sized communities. Edit: They also have a mobile app on iOS (don't know about Windows or Droid) which doesn't require a static IP. All it needs is your login info and channel access.

Can confirm there is an android app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The layout of discord looks like they just ripped off slack. Also anything that involves further conversation than a status update could honestly just be a thread. Trying to divide up status updates which need more discussion into subsets is literally one of the points of having the rest of the forum. Having an official voice chat for the backpack.tf forums is unnecessary. Its not written, so moderating it to make sure people are being civil is way too large of a hassle than its worth, and discerning people's voices if someone were to record it is also an issue. I should think its already annoying enough for moderators to trace the paper trail when petty name-calling and middle-school dramas break out on the forums. I can't imagine the added work that would go into trying to resolve the issues if it were to happen on voice chat. This is why it would be better to have an unofficial version such as the backpack.tf skype group which I am unsure still exists or is used.

Brad Pitt Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I like discord but it doesn't really integrate with the forums or our site at all. If it allowed steam authentication it'd be a start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
