Do we actually have a Discord server? I could easily set up one in no time. It would be really good for all of us; everyone's using Discord for everything nowadays.

I honestly think that an official TWHL Discord would be useful for when we organise games and so on.
The downside is, it would require a dedicated moderator or team of moderators to stop it becoming a meme filled mess. Run Think Shoot Live had a discord, but it quickly went to shit without Phillip at the helm and I left because I just could not hack the number of memes.

Depending on how the API works it might be possible to engineer an authentication system so that only TWHL members could join or have permissions to do stuff etc...
Never used Discord, it doesn't seem like a traditional client-server system.

A Discord server is private by default. We could create a new link everytime a member joins twhl.info. We can also install bots that handles all the stuff; probably including the things rufee is saying. I have one on my own server and it can handle automatic roles like adding the "Visitor" role if they're not members and "Member" if they're members.

In fact, almost all public/semi-public Discord servers have specific text channels for that. Normally, it's the public chat. We could just recreate all the forums' sections as text channels.
