Title: We need the playground back
Post by: Badger on December 01, 2016, 05:16:54 AM
Offtopic is a garbage board, we need to get Playground back. What's the point of an offtopic board if it has actual rules?

To be able to have a decent discussion, without edgelords insulting each other and starting flame wars.

Besides, the discord chat is working well as a playground/chatterbox substitute.

But we had the Skype group at the same time as the playground, so this argument doesn't make much sense.

That's not the point, if discord is the replacement for the playground (which it isn't, but that isn't my main point), and if it is basically skype but "somewhat better" (it isn't) then why wasn't skype a replacement for the playground?

There is literally a chat on the discord server called "Playground", where I don't believe the admins really give a *insert derogatory term for fecal matter here*. What more could you want?

But what difference does it make?

The difference is that one affects the website's SEO analysis and the other doesn't.

im using decade old, badly maintained laptop i've borrowed from my little sister. i'm lucky i can even run robot arena 2, and barely. discord grinds my computer to a screeching halt after about ten minutes of having it open.

but hey, why don't we just migrate the whole forum to the stupid thing? i mean, what difference does it make... right?

You might be on to something there.  Wouldn't have to pay any hosting bills either.

Naryar and Pwn are right. The discord is a fine substitute. Keeps the forum a little less cancerous.

And unfortunately, as much as I love you, Toast, the large majority of people here are able to run discord.

I really don't think Trov is gonna remake a whole new section of the forums, that, as Pwn said, will only hurt the website's SEO score, just because one or two people are whining about not being able to run Discord (especially considering my toaster-level laptop can run it perfectly fine, so it's not like it's particularly resource-intensive).

i have yet to see any proof of this mystical seo score that trov caters to but i agree that we dont really need playground. the forum is lax enough now that we dont really need it
