Somehow, I have ended up in another place on the internet.
I am Ben0258, a refugee from the CrossTalk Discord server that might already be shut down if you're reading this 2 days after this post was made.
Hopefully this will be a chance to get away from Discord and not have it eat 30 billion CPU cycles whenever I do anything anymore.
I haven't really used forums before, but I'll try to figure this out. I might be more active on IRC either way.
In any case, I'm happy to be here. |

Welcome aboard! It's rather nice here, just don't steal my vodka.  _________________ That sounds irresponsibly silly and is therefore, clearly, something I am likely to almost always do. |

Oh wow, the crosstalk discord is shutting down? I didn't know that. I guess this is a pretty good place for refugees, huh?
Shame, since I never got to try it, I guess. |

Yes, but the service itself remains. An IRC channel is used now, on this very site no less  |

I was on the Crosstalk Discord for a little bit up until the announcement they were closing that side of things down.
I fully understand their decision really, as it's a lot to manage while actively developing the whole Crosstalk thing too. It's a great service.
Places like this are quite different, forums are of a slower-pace (not necessarily a bad thing) and everything is a bit more permanent unless posts or threads are deleted. _________________ That sounds irresponsibly silly and is therefore, clearly, something I am likely to almost always do. |

| I didn't know ClassicConnect had an IRC channel. Neat. |

Yeah, I've always been more of a fan of slower-paced places, but I've rarely ever been on forums. I should try and post some of my adventures here someday
I do like how phpBB has a button to just show posts that were updated since you last visited, it's a lot better than having to painstakingly click every channel in a Discord community and see what's new. |

We'd love to hear of your adventures!
Forums like this can never truly be replaced by the likes of Discord, despite it sadly being the dominant format these days in the name of our lord and saviour, CONVENIENCE...  _________________ That sounds irresponsibly silly and is therefore, clearly, something I am likely to almost always do. |
