First, you must explain why you chose Discord as your client of choice.

solidbatman-Yesterday at 11:48 PM irc is too silly and doesnt have voice... does it?

Down-Yesterday at 11:48 PM what can i do against such a barrage of arguments

[Eclipsed]

Coolio, I'll drop by sometime

[madvanced]

I might drop by just to be bashed and treated as the filth that I am, since I seem to keep a better presence record with external programs rather than Fuwa itself nowadays.

I owe you nothing of the sort.

It's kinda cool, if anyone is in voice chat I will probably be saying hi. 

[Darklord Rooke]

So from what I understand, Discord is a less harmonious form of TS used primarily by Gamers because ‘there’s no such thing as harmony in gaming. It’s a serious business and NOT A GAME, you know!’

I see. I see.

It's also free and really easy to set up your own servers.

Meh, I barely even go on TS because that requires me to remember to open it, let alone this Discord crap everyone is going crazy about

I read up on Discord.  It's aimed at professional gamers: specifically, it's designed to have very low latency and require minimal system overhead, giving players of games like first-person shooters a small advantage over their competition.  With their current business model, it's not clear how they're making money off this.

It was similar to teamspeak, except I could set it up for free. Only reason I opened it up to Fuwanovel was because the people I was aiming to use it with were like, "Whats wrong with skype?" ignoring the fact I told them it crashes constantly for me despite reinstalls

[sanahtlig]

The problem with Skype is that it's optimized to be a phone replacement service, not a public chatroom or instant messaging service.  When Microsoft took over they closed the API, making the service inaccessible via 3rd party applications like Trillian which provide a better interface for IM conversations.  On top of all this, Skype prevents my PC from sleeping.  For all of the above reasons, Skype is the devil.

I've used Discord and I'm happy with it as a platform.

[Arcadeotic]

Discord? Neat

I'll drop by sometimes

[Dergonu]

I might come lurk

Then again, I said that about the skype group and went innactive after like 2 visits

Another part of Discord is how they cloak the IP Address

Portions of the gaming community trolls tend to like to find people's IP Addresses (ESPECIALLY through Skype) and then DoS/DDoS them.  (The same trolls I suppose also like doxing people)

... Skype in particular is the worst offender of it

That's another part of Discord that professional gamers/streamers/etc like/prefer it over the alternatives.

 

 

EDIT: (also heh, it looks like slack... but targeted towards gamers)

Apparently, Batty deleted it because Flutterz was posting too much depression memes

RIP Salthouse, you will be remembered.
