I can see a lot of people here don't like Discord and that's fine, BUT... considering there's a lot of ways to mod all that kind of stuff like spam among other things, it's one of the best options to keep up to date the community at least lets say plugins/addons. There are ways to make discord detect news/updates from the forum using bots to let the community know. I strongly recommend Discord to be integrated, I recommended this a few years ago and nothing. And since bots can link all the updated stuff (at least the most important updates to x or y subject), those who don't like Discord can still keep using the Forum without missing anything. 🙏

I'm not a fan of Discord either. Forums, DMs, and e-mail are enough for me. I already have to "monitor" too  many online places as it is.

I see Discord more like an online chat. Pretty much useless for support on individual problems and searching for certain topics and finding answers.

On the other hand, it could be useful for presenting your own projects and getting feedback. But then you can create your own Discord server as well.

A Discourse is no magic bullet for communication. There is a RL users Discourse and I find that there is a lot of chit-chat, so I don't visit. Only when experienced users with real answers participate it might amount to something.

It takes out the spammers, which turns out to be very useful.

It is only the first couple of posts that have to be approved. After that your posts go live immediately. The approval system has stopped thousands of spam, pornographic and phishing messages appearing on the forum. Would you rather the forum be plagued with spam than have the minor inconvenience of having a couple of posts approved?

Every time I come to their site to check for plugin updates I find myself here complaining about how bad the community discourse is because there is no communication. Discord literally has forums now and they are simplified and easily indexed.

It is 2024 guys. They are a software company. They need a Discord. The fact they have to approve comments on this forum alone is absolutely an atrocity.

In general, most of the companies that have a certain customer density and provide online services do not provide telephone support.
The same goes for epic games.It is even difficult to reach some companies from the support form (like Google)
Instead of being useful in this regard, Discord only causes confusion.
Since forums are indexed by search engines, it is the best system for solving many people's problems in a lifetime.
