SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So what did happen to that Discord OSR server?

Did it get infiltrated left or right? Or did it just putter out?

Probably it didn't attract enough attention or wasn't active, and the owner deleted it.  It's weird that such a thread got bumped.

Popped up in a search and new poster asked what happened since its DOA. An actually valid question really.

Quote from: Ratman_tf on November 08, 2023, 08:36:03 PMDiscord is a nightmare to use. I've tried with discussions and scheduling for my various gaming groups, and every time I get pissed off and stop using it.

The problem with discord is its in reality one really fucking long communal email message.  No threads, no nothing, just a long fucking email message.
My experience with Discord is as follows. We play on Roll20 and the video chat has been sketchy, really sketchy. One of the players set up a Discord and sent us invites. We do video chat through the discord and play on Roll20 with the videochat turned off and everything has gone smoothly since. I've not explored Discord as a forum or anything but it's been very helpful as a video chat.

I have done text only sessions on Discord. Not much different from online site chat based sessions. Just need a dice roller plugin usually for Discord.
