:::::I'm neutral on this decision, but I just want to say that not needing an account for the IRC can also be a disadvantage, since every random person can log in with your username. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:46, 27 January 2017 (UTC) | :::::I'm neutral on this decision, but I just want to say that not needing an account for the IRC can also be a disadvantage, since every random person can log in with your username. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 18:46, 27 January 2017 (UTC) | ||
::::::The IRC has been around for so long that we've figured out how to deal with nearly every type of attack (courtesy of sove). The reason for the IRC's inactivity is not the platform, it's because of the general inactivity of the community. Changing to a new platform probably will not change that and runs the risk of alienating older members and splitting the community chat into two different channels. That said, the Discord channel may surprise us and interest new users so I'm not against a trial.

:::::::I use Discord a lot, but I can see why people would be against it and in favor of the IRC, personally, I think both ways are okay, but if one sits unused for long, it's best to nip it in the bud as early as possible. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 03:22, 16 February 2017 (UTC) | |||
