But isn't discord just like another forum?
Not rly. Its a bit more interactive, has quick chats with live update, has a higher versatility of emotes.
You can search gifs, you can play bot games like ranking bots, mafia bots and pokemon bots.
Its imho even better than forums and works a bit better on mobile. Only problem is it sometimes resets your "recently used emotes", like it did with me today...its hella annoying -___-
