Board Thread:Wiki/@comment-5774380-20161013220426



I was recently invited by members of another Wikia community I'm part of to join their Discord chat. After using it for several days, I liked the idea and thought that it would be a nice addition for our community as well, so I've created a chat for the wiki; and since Wikia's chat is rather basic and is almost always dead anyways, I've replaced it with the Discord chat as you can see on the sidebar at the right of this page (the old chat is still available on a small link beneath it).

But what exactly is Discord? A quick answer would be: "a Skype on the browser for communities". It is a chat service popular among gaming communities that you can use on your browser without installing anything and without need to register an account (although you can optionally register one if you want), but that offers all benefits of a Skype-level chat including emojis, uploading images and videos, adding friends, voice calls, etc. It even has some bots that can do other things, like searching stuff on the Internet, responding simple questions or helping with the moderation.

The chat room (called "server") is divided into several "channels" to talk about different topics (akin to the boards in this forum). There are channels to talk about the manga, anime, and all AoT related stuff.

Psst, there is also a #spoilers channel, so you won't need to suffer for the Spoiler Policy anymore. ;)

Of course there are also no-spoilers channels for those who don't like spoilers and the anime-only viewers who don't read the manga, there's a place for everyone there. :)

Finally, although you can use it on the browser without installing anything as I said, it also offers desktop and mobile apps, so you can stay connected wherever you are, get notifications, etc.

If you want to join us, just use the widget of the sidebar or click this image:
