      Also their role system is badass. It’s incredibly fine grained and makes it possible to manage large communities with plenty of different user levels.

      That’s all good but those features are not what makes a good discussion forum. This, what we’re typing on, is an example of a good forum.

        Some communities don’t need a good discussion forum, they need voice chat with a little text chat. Originally, discord was for gaming groups and it worked amazingly for that. Now, more communities are on it than should be, but its still a good feature set for gaming groups.

          You can actually make forums inside of channels now if you are a community discord. But search is still shit lol
