:I wonder about the uses it has to offer. However, as Ignis pointed out, I'm not too sure/fond of the whole extra account idea.. I dunno. Call me old, but I'm still a fan of the IRC. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 03:50, 25 January 2017 (UTC) | :I wonder about the uses it has to offer.

::Well, I got dragged into this first, so I might as well pitch in. I'm in agreement with Xion-chan. I honestly don't see the benefit of having a Discord Channel for the KHWiki when we have a fully operational IRC channel of our own. I think having the IRC is better for the wiki. I said this on my talk page, but I'll post it here, as well: | |||
::A.) For the IRC, you don't even need an account to sign into it. Even users don't have an official account on the KHWiki are able to sign into it. The Discord Channel forces users who want to use to make an account to use it. | |||
::B.) As it's on-site, you don't have to leave the wiki to go to a different site just to talk to other users. | |||
::C.) The Discord Channel allows users to change their text, but I think that's one of the down sides of it. IRC channels are typically disabled from other wikias because how much they are abused by users. Changing text when a conversation gets out of hand can eliminate evidence of a user's wrongdoings. Our IRC doesn't, which preserves all evidence of a user's misbehavior as long as someone screencaps it. | |||
::Hypothetically speaking, if the KHWiki were to do come to an agreement about using the Discord Channel, there's also the matter of assigning mods to watch over the channel. We also need to consider the possibility that if the KHWiki agrees to use the Discord Channel, then what will happen to the IRC? Should we get rid it? And what about the users who don't want to create an extra account to just to talk to users that we are perfectly capable of talking to on our on-site IRC, like Xion-chan and myself?--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 23:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC) |
