I would love for everyone to use irc and ventrilo but maybe I am just nostalgic. Discord was never my favorite.

IRC is the best. I'd use only it, if that were feasible. We have an IRC network under the same umbrella as this forum, which you can read about here.

I am on it frequently under the same alias, I am usually in the crosstalk channel and I registered a channel for windows xp if anyone cares to stop by!

While this can certainly be the case, I think it is pretty much a must at this point for my community, since we are a largely documentary effort. |

| I do think there is some value in keeping image/video posting separate from general talk tbh, keeps things tidy |

| That's what we did on the Discord, there were separate channels for photos and videos, and another one for documents. Made it easy to point at some resource and have a conversation about it. |

I have to give Discord its dues for that one. It is quite useful that way. I've moderated a few servers where that sort of layout is necessary.

| Right. It behaved more like a realtime forum with push notifications and a nice mobile client for us than just plain jane instant messaging. The organization possible was phenomenal, in my opinion. |
