I popped in a couple of times before signing back in after my 4 month break, it was quiet :/ but as they "build it, they will come" if they don't then it's a small group that get to use it lol |

Seems that would just split the few people that do use IRC even further. |

IRC is out dated Discord offers a whole lot more the site is moving on in leaps and bounds why wouldnt we want to use some thing far better than IRC? |

I would like to point out that I was a Discord skeptic but it really does make a difference in getting people together to play one off matches. That's just my two cents. |

To be clear: I'm not skeptical about Discord. But if you want this to happen, it needs to be adopted site-wise: replacing the chat on the B activation page, the mibbit link, and all references to IRC in the Help section. Otherwise you'll have some on there and some still on IRC, causing the split I referred to, and with new coaches still going to IRC first. So; don't ask us, persuade Christer. |

I like the idea, a chat channel is great for the community. |

The chat does need updating. Seems like hardly anyone uses the IRC anymore and I miss the fun banter of the 'good 'ol days' ... |

No one uses it because it can be difficult to set it up, while discord can just login via a browser.
and what xneolx said im sure we dont need the bot telling us about when to activate etc etc any more so i dont think we need that option now.
Could just update the IRC section with some thing like "Our chat room can be found at *link here* as thats how simple it would be compared to how the IRC is now, take a look at the page to get it set up its massive lol.
All this https://fumbbl.com/help:IRCHelp to join a chat room and we wander why its dead, people want things to be easy this day and age |
