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?

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.
