Who likes Discord?

I hate Discord. But as Forums seem to be dying around me from around 2016 to date, both Forum managers and hosts opened up discussion accounts at Discord so had to follow them there. My greatest beef is trying to get into my own account, as it is almost like Fort Knox. It doesn't feel intuitive to me including searching for the logout tool, which one has to scroll down in the settings way past the bottom. Also, discussions are very unstructured and unmoderated. So one has to scroll through a number of discussions that feel more like spam than anything else. A plus however for me has been I'm able to get hold of some of the Forum characters and free hosts. Provided that they are subscribing to Discord of course. What a name! :p

Am glad Gigarocket survived all of that, as for me Forums are still a much better and viable way for communication with like minded hosting enthusiasts.

I have a Discord account. Although I do try to avoid it if I can. I'm a bit like yourself, old skool forums all the way. I do hear great things about Discord though, I believe there are many thriving communities on there.

True. One of the surviving free hosts whom I have mini space with (KuJoe's- Afreecloud) used to have a discussion Forum and moved it to Discord. At the time when I took the space in 2016, it was because of the novelty of VestaCP panel. He was experimenting with moving away from cPanel, and I wanted to have a feel for the user end of VestaCP. It's one of my nostalgic free hosting accounts. Very small, but works all of the time. KuJoe moved away from VestaCP and we're now on HestiaCP. KuJoe is brilliant with these free hosting panels. He knows how to tweak them until they run smooth and perfectly. Magic touch. I'm also tried HestiaCP for my VPS, but for me it still has a far way to go before I can use it. Full of bugs for me. But of course KuJoe has perfected all of those.

I also check in with Post4VPS at Discord, but unfortunately looks like no one is around any longer. However, I can get in touch with messaging if needs be.
