While it has not happened yet, Google is expected to pull support for Hangouts at some point. In preparation for this inevitability, our site admins have begun setting up channels in Discord for individual games that are interested in making the switch to Discord sooner.
I would prefer to have us all on one chat program, either Discord or Hangouts, so I thought it best to drop a poll here and see what you all think.
Please let me know which chat program you would prefer to use for our game. I would like to have a pretty solid majority of players in favor of whichever one we go with, if possible, so I am enabling vote-changing on this poll.
If Discord wins out, we will get a channel set up on Discord for the game and then transition over to using that platform instead of Hangouts. If Hangouts wins out, we will stay on Hangouts for the time being until the rest of the site starts switching over to Discord.
Thanks!

Re: Poll: Discord or Hangouts?
I voted Hangouts.
Although I use Discord daily and am in favour of a full switch over for the community I prefer an all or nothing approach. Having some of my games on one platform and some on another will add complexity I don't want.
Then again, I'm on both everyday anyway. I won't miss anything. Maybe I just talked myself into "no preference" .

Re: Poll: Discord or Hangouts?
My use is probably less intensive than VV, but a notification goes to my phone either way, and when I click on it it takes me to the appropriate forum, so no preference for me. Though search functionality and mentions are nice, so maybe like a 2% preference for discord

Re: Poll: Discord or Hangouts?
I voted Discord, because ultimately we have to end up there anyway. I get less connection issues with Hangouts thought. But I get less awkward butt dials on Discord LOL The @ feature on Discord will be useful, though, making sure I don't miss something targeted at me, which I frequently do when Hangouts starts hitting a hundred posts of irrelevant stuff I don't have time or need to read through.

Re: Poll: Discord or Hangouts?
I spend plenty of time on both but generally more Discord. Mostly because so much of my other stuff is done there. Either way I fine with holding out or jumping now.

Re: Poll: Discord or Hangouts?
Okay, we’ve got enough folks who either want discord or don’t have a preference that we’re going to make the switch. I’ll let you guys know when the discord channel is set up and we can start discording.
Thanks!
Thanks!
