    Dobber let me know if you are against this... or using the name.

    Also for organization this is just for Hockey.

    EDIT: Taken invite link down for time being.

    I am in my 50s and I think Discord is GREAT

    one of my hockey leagues uses it and its WONDERFUL

    trade talk, drafts, I cannot recommend it enough
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

    I'm looking into using this, but have a fear that it will cost me forum traffic as a result

    Discord is great BUT the free version has a limited number of messages it can keep unless you pay for the service.

    So its great for chat and discussion in the "live" sense of the word, but it has almost ZERO long term presence.

    So as while Darryl is suggesting it COULD drive traffic elsewhere, the messages posted over "there" WILL turn into a pumpkin at some point downt he road depending on use.

    Since Forum traffic is an important part of what makes this website what it is, perhaps a discord channel is going to boil down to one of three things;

    1. it drains traffic thus harming the brand

    2. it boosts traffic as the instant msg style chat attracts viewers who traditionally do not go to traditional boards such as this one

    3. It has no effect one way or the other

    it would be interesting to know how many more eyeballs could be attracted IF #2 were true.

    I don't have the answers to that question but I reckon someone in the greater community will either know that, or be able to find someone who does.

    So if the final decision is based on forum traffic then Darryl you need someone to get up in the numbers and to make an educated forecast. Especially if #2 becomes a possible true answer.

    If that isn't possible, I suggest a short term use to see how things transpire during the offseason so that it doesn't have a possible adverse negative effect.

    Those of us diehards are talking hockey 12 months a year anyway and it would be great to have discord to talk puck during the Summer.

    Dobber, I think there are pros and cons to this - and at this point it's really up to you how much you think the cons weigh. Maybe the best thing to do would be a trial run.


    Pros:
    -Another venue for the Dobber community to congregate through
    - I wonder if Discord is monetized in a similar way based on traffic? Not sure- someone should check up on this one. If true, then it would make the leeching of forum traffic moot, as Dobber will get more clicks regardless.
    -Real Time discussion will allow for even more rapid updates with notifications.

    I have been using Discord free for a year and there is no "limited amount of messages" unless you mean in terms of saving old chat logs, which nobody cares about.

    We use it both as a hub for our steam group with 7 channels for different games, and we use it on Hockeyforums.net as a general chat(usually populated by 5-10 of us during game time)

    I doubt it affects forum traffic at all unless you have gameday threads
