Corco 1,233 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 First and foremost, I am not  a heavy discord user; I have an account, but I rarely log on, and when I do, it's usually when I would get a "hey I sent you a message on Discord" message. I'm sure that this topic has likely been already discussed ad nauseum, but in my personal opinion, I feel that Discord as a whole takes away from a lot of what made the VHL so fun [for me] in the first place. When I joined the VHL in S28, Discord was still around 3 real-life years away from being released, and I feel like at that time compared to now, there was much more discourse relating to the league happening on the forums. Don't get me wrong, I think that the league is healthier than ever, and I'm willing to [begrudgingly] admit that Discord is a big factor towards that. But for example, in three locker rooms that I have access to all of the last posts were made at least a year ago. That's crazy to me!  Discord Pros: Very accessible on mobile, which in conjunction with the Portal, seems to be the way that many members access the league now More personal communication. The league originally used to have a live chat feature on the website (separate from PMs), and I know that a lot of members were big fans of it Linking of various accounts across different platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, etc.) allows members to connect more than ever  Discord Cons: Lack of searchability over time. Older topics and posts eventually become near-impossible to find Can be hard to "catch up" on the conversation at a given time due to the constant chat stream  I understand that the adoption of Discord has greatly benefitted the league as a whole and that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but I do miss the early days of my VHL career where the league discussion felt much more centralized than it does now.

Greg_Di 1,021 Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Same here, mostly visit the forums. Only in Discord for team LR but don't check on the VHL discord much. Should probably start to check in more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
