I agree, it's quite difficult trying to think of a perfect balance between a discord server and a forum without one taking activity away from the other. I think the best use of a discord server for a forum like this would possibly just have it mainly for events and reminders, while keeping the amnt of channels low so it becomes more of an off-topic place rather than an instant messaging forum

some things would be better off being a discord message than a forum post sometimes too

it's also nice though whenever someone posts a new thread or replies on sonicblast I get a ping for it from the discord server, it's almost like the aol door opening sound to me

I wouldn't make anyone pay to react to something...

Sure we would be better off thinking any Discord integration through as we would like to avoid abusing it to the point that it causes more harm than benefit regarding activity.

Perhaps some read-only channels for notifications of new threads, maybe on a one-channel one-forum basis.

C'mon @BDBGaming, you got plenty of points to spend you got nothing to worry about :>

I was specifically thinking about 1 point for each react, the full point goes to the post author.

If anything, we might need to adjust the points settings over time if for some reason active people start getting dry off them. We could also start with bare minimum (1) reactions to test how it goes over time ofc.

He means via points, not real money.

I'd be cool with bringing it back but I really wish there was one that could work with my alerts.

I could start ripping the files.

I moved this to the correct thread. The other thread is for suggestions for the website.

I'm not sure how we could do that, maybe a blank page? But it would have to be played through a browser, would it be able to register controls? I guess since old flash games could.

Um....Isn't that technically ILLEGAL?...

No because it's not official but you might have the creator make a fuss? Idk. @"Lighthead" is this possible?

Should be fine as long as it's transformative or basically similar but not exactly the same. Not sure at all how this could be done however.

@"NeoMetallix" Are you able to fix the favicon? It doesn't look like it's setup right.

Or I can dig in closer to see what's going on.

@"Lighthead" I use a plugin for the favicon and I noticed that. It works on my browser but not on all search engines?  I suppose I could do it manually or use a different plugin.

Socializing the economy, it could work.

@"Lighthead" how about a newsletter with latest articles and topics from the site and forum?

It's a way to keep people up to date who may not have time to always check in everyday.

I like this idea! Would you be able to help me to round up topics you want to feature?
