Discord Server - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The problem with any new platform is that it needs monitoring, which means it needs people who can be trusted to keep it in line with the Barrow Wight's purpose for the main site and forum. As a mod here I can say that I barely have time to keep up with the threads (literally!) of my real life, much less to be a part of something new that is subject to public misuse. As interesting as the new idea is, the practical aspects seem to cost more effort than the benefits it would generate.

That said, I would like all of you, both old and new members, to refrain from calling other members "ignorant" or similar terms. If there's one thing we pride ourselves in here at the Downs, it's our friendliness, so please post accordingly.
