Give it a whirl :wink:

Far from it ,its very fun and well moderated and lots of good banter and events .Drama is soon taken care of and tbh nobody acts like they do on the forums so do not knock it until you try it .

I would say that for the most part, the people that stayed are definitely on the more reasonable side of posters :slight_smile:

You missed out the catch:

ā€œWe also support each otherā€™s opinions on the forums, even if theyā€™re wrong, so we can back you up with likes and flag/reporting topics and comments that we donā€™t like.ā€

Unofficial Discord servers are usually sketchy hive-minds.

Since everything is openly accessible including the server history, you can go check by yourself and find out that this never happens.

Really, itā€™s mostly small talk / off topic. Pictures of cats and of food.

In the half year that this Discord existed, we banned two people and deleted less than 10 messages.

Also, we use it to organize our forum runs:

Every community is an echo chamber to some degree. Even the forums. Every ā€œanti raider.ioā€, ā€œremove deserterā€, ā€œfaction imbalanceā€ etc thread of which we get multiple a month, get fairly similar answers from different users.

It doesnā€™t have to be literally written for it to happen.

If you know someone from the Discord server and see them having a debate on the forums, youā€™ll be much more inclined to support/back them up, even if their opinions are wrong.

It doesnā€™t encourage organic flow of the forums whatsoever, and probably explains the divide Iā€™ve seen here and the small circles/groups of forum-posters who seem to stay close and guard each other.

I accept your opinion really but I need to disagree. I openly disagree and express dislike for the opinions of a lot of members of that Discord while being a member of it.

What might you mean by ā€œguardā€? Does that only mean likes? Also the forums are not the primary point of discussion there, rest assured. Sometimes there is talk but nothing organized or some such.

If someone puts forth a point well, good on them. They get a like/approval. At times there may be in-jokes exchanged. But i strongly doubt anyone that I know in that Discord solely approves of a friendā€™s arguments on the forums or elsewhere just because of who is saying them. Rest assured (just realized I said this twice :joy:).

Maybe you are personally different but thatā€™s the impression a forum Discord server gives off, similar to Twitter Discord servers who mob up on those that oppose their views, but I know that this is just for the WoW forums and you seem to do events and such, so it does have its benefits for those who like that.

As much as I personally think a forum community discord is excessive (and in my own words ā€œkinda cringe nglā€) I think the comments from Araj are just outright rude.

Iā€™ve openly and vocally disagreed with former guildies (when they were guildies) on these very forums and I see people I presume are together in this discord do the same.
Likewise as the figure of speech, birds of a feather flock together, people with similar interests and opinions do tend to gather together for various reasons.

Anywho, good luck with your discord, Iā€™m sure itā€™s a nice place.

as I said, itā€™s mostly just smalltalk - I do get your point but I think our interests arenā€™t common enough ā€œto mob upā€ except WoW as an interest in itself.

Most people play on very different ways, are interested in very different content and approach it in different ways. So, thereā€™s not much to team up.
