Do we need a Discord?
Cue all the old folks saying "What's a discord? Is it dis cord, or dat one?"
Basically, if we go offline, I have almost zero way of communicating with you guys. So please suggest an alternative place we can communicate like a Discord or a Twitter, or something else!

I dont have any social media accounts or use it to connect.

GThub has a discord in which a lot of stream links are posted. It can also be used as a chatbox, while watching races. Thing is that it replaces the forum at the same time then. So i don't see the advantage of that.

Discord is IRC on steroids really, if you can embed it on the site as a chat it would nice to have. I'm always a bit weary of splitting the attention between two platforms though.
Certainly as a backup its great, because emails change, and Twitter is way to much signal to noise for my taste.

It would be nice to be able to touch base with you guys once there's another blackout! We started a Discord server once racing-reference removed their comment section, and it's worked pretty well!

No objection! (Might need a tutorial for the 80s kids on how to use Discord :p). What other options are available? It would be nice to have something embedded on the site which is just chat and doesn't replace the use of the forum itself

Umm... if the idea is just to communicate possible downtimes etc. to users, why not do a simple Facebook group? Could always set it secret so no outsiders would find it.

I'm with the guys, I saw it was huh?
I am not now, nor have I ever been on facebook, I don't plan to be either.
Now another forum I used to be on (not as good as here ) had an account at Slack Chat and there was a private chat room where we would go to discuss the races when they were happening. Now I don't know how good it is or if it's expensive or anything, but it's the only option I know of that I can suggest at this point. I assume other similar sites are available

Same goes for me regarding Discord.
I'm not a fan of Facebook, but most of the people are in there. That's why I thought it would be the easiest way.
