Any point/interest in setting one up for us to use? For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a bit like Skype. But a lot better. We can use it for things like real-time in-game text communication, planning our next objectives, etc. Honestly the only upside in using Discord over using the forums (and we will absolutely continue to use the forums, this would just be in addition) is that you can communicate in real-time and in a more casual manner (no need to make topics or anything). Basically a glorified chat room. There is also voice communication should you feel like talking to someone that way, but that's purely optional.
You can use it either in a browser or as a downloaded app on your computer/phone. Not sure why you would want to use it in your browser as it's generally just a thing you have running in the background, but whatever.
Just a thought. I can set it up in a matter of minutes if people are interested.

Please don't.
I want to be able to monitor the forums to know what to plan for.

You'd still be able to, but fair point. One too many things to keep track of.

Note that they are saying google hangouts will be shutting down in October (boo!) but they are having Hangout Meet to replace (?) it.
I'm going to have to take a look at it (unless someone who understands computers wants to help out) to see if it does the same thing as google hangouts - namely I can call and talk with several people AND have it 'record directly on to youtube'. I've had problems (and lost shows) in the past trying to keep them on my local computer. So I am wary of that.
(While not all of these shows might be considered classics or gold if we ever get a highly motivated comic book maker or whatever into them - unlikely as I've yet to encounter a motivated artist - then these might be great for editing the crap out of and making into a different medium. There is some very funny stuff the players have done. Hence, losing a show would make me very 'put out'.)
