      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.

          If Discord would add wikis and improve its search it would freaking destroy everything else. It would be the place for everything a modern gaming community could want.

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

          People who use discord don’t want to use it like a forum. They want instant interaction.

          If you think about it a lot of forum banter is just that, just because it’s slower and persistent doesn’t guarantee a higher signal to noise ratio.

          If Discord were to add wikis so people can add persistent FAQs and guides it would cover 99% of its user needs.

      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.
