We need to go back to pre-discord and bring back forums man. Don't get me wrong, discord has its uses, all my friends use it, but discord killing forums and websites was really bad for the internet as a whole. Like look at dolphin, made before discord, it has its own website, its own forums. Hopefully if Nintendo does ever come after dolphin they'll at least be able to keep the website and forums up.

    I mean Nintendo would nuke the forums too.

    Their lawyers don't fuck around. They're as bad as Disney.

    Unless you're a forum hosted in someplace like the Netherlands or Russia you're in range for Nintendo's nukes.

    You'd at least get a chance to migrate if you do daily backups. Not so with Discord.

    I've used forums that had these things 20 years ago. This isn't new.

    Idk, I wasnt around back then. But most forums I stumble upon have none of that

    I should add that it wasn't the norm back then either.

    What's kind of funny is that all of the debates around these systems are exactly the same today as back then, like for example that you should use the voting system to reward quality comments, not use it as an agree/disagree button.
