Model Cars Magazine Forum

Scale Model Community Discord!


Recommended Posts

I love models cars. That's why I'm here, obviously. I've been ghosting for about a year and came out of hiding to ask anyone to join my Discord server thats for anything and everything self-built models. I have been browsing multiple forums and different magazines on this hobby, and haven't ever run into a single discord based on it. So I decided to make one myself. Anyone and everyone is welcome! If my advertising this here is not welcome, I understand and will remove the post if it isn't removed for me. 

 

https://discord.gg/fDJfHVC This is the invite to the discord. Please read the rules before participating.

Yes, this is a chatroom server. My son set one up for him and his gaming friends. 

Easy to get the meaning confused when lacking context. 

Discord seems like an inappropriate name for a chat room service. It literally implies you're going there to argue and disagree with people. That  said, now I know something new.

It's not Discord like a fight or lack of harmony. It's Dis-Cord like taking away a cord. The software isn't so much a chat room, although it has that functionality, it's a VoIP (aka voice chat), and more recently a video chat platform similar to Skype. The combination of cell phones and VoIP services are effecively what killed off hardwired (dis-cording) phones (I'll wait here while you all tell me how you still insist on paying Verizon for a house phone). But the idea you can TALK to people in another country for FREE was once pretty outrageous. Anyways Discord is primarily used by gamers in situations where large numbers of people need to be able to voice chat with one another while playing (Call of Duty, Fortnite, World of War craft, etc). 

I'm not sure what putting a "room" on Discord has to offer over a Google Hangout per se.

I think most...or some...of us are aware it's being used as a proper name of something, taken from a word that actually has a well-defined and very clear meaning in English, and doing an oh-so-unbearably-cute-and-clever play on it. The resulting implication is, however, that it's not a happy place.

Frankly, I don't see the point. At all. But everyone knows I'm a card-carrying, terminally un-hip Luddite.
