Discord kinda sucks though. It's a closed ecosystem. I don't even use discord, and you can't search it with a search engine or anything (which is good and bad depending on your perspective).
-Beyond that, it's a terrible discussion format as what is essentially an eternally scrolling chat, so conversations and topics are all mashed together and can never seem to get very indepth because you have a hundred people talking about different things at the same time and the history falls off the screen at a rapid pace.
Maybe I'm just not "holding it right" or whatever.
That said, I made a AT Discord, probably violating some sort of TOS but it's there just in case. I'll add channels if anyone actually shows interest.
Might just be a good place to go when ATF is having server issues.
