There is a chat set up! Add me on Discord (Todd #2396) or message me on Skype, Megan, and I'll get you added!

Before I answer the poll, I have a couple of questions about Discord:

- Is there a good mobile app for iPhone? I am largely on mobile when I use Skype because I haaaaate the desktop client, plus I hate having to boot up my whole computer just to chat for 15 minutes.

- What are the main advantages of Discord over Skype? :)

I accept your challenge, "high prince", but I am no general.

Discord is nice. I like browser-based chats where I don't need to download anything. Plus the interface is fancy. :)

Alright, I'll be closing this. I know the poll hasn't been up for long, but our concerns and skepticism have been sufficiently addressed thanks to
  • the clear poll standings so far
  • the vocal support in this topic
  • the activity and participation in the server's testing
  • the amount of members from the Skype chat willing to transition
Thanks again for your input, everyone! <3

For those of you who read this and weren't around to vote, or who would rather not move: We are leaving the current Skype chatroom up for the time being while everyone transitions. Please don't hesitate to PM me if you do decide to give the new chatroom a try, and I'll help you with things you're unfamiliar with!

The chatroom sticky in the Guides and Help forum has been updated with the new info. Please have another look at the community guidelines before joining. More info posts and tips around Discord will be posted in the topic linked above in due time.

Join the chatroom today!

Will try to join Discord when I can. I only hope I'll remember to sign into it as often as I sign into Skype xD
