Scale Model Community Discord!

[ziP]

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.

Seems to me we end up with enough discord in the model community as it is without needing a site for people to go argue and fight. Maybe it would be good, people could fight and argue there instead of here on the forum.

Peter,i had to google what this topic was about.Even after that im still not sure what discord is but i think it is a online game with a theme of sorts?

I also agree with you that we have enough discourse to last a good wile and then some

A Discord server doesn't mean a place to go argue - it's like a chat room. 

[allis200]

It is a chat room. My son uses it to talk to his friends while gaming.   Never have used it but it is not a bad thing.

[Dave Ambrose]

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. 

[mrmike]

I don't need no stinkin' chat room!

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.

[Greg Myers]

It's a DISTRIBUTOR, not a "Dizzy" ! 

[Greg Myers]

You want DIZZY ? Try this.

[Greg Myers]

"Discord"  just more hipster shenanigans. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

The concept that "words have meanings" is obsolete. Not relevant. Past it. Expired. Shuffled off its mortal coil. Gone. Deceased. Over. In short, it's an ex-concept.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Norwegian Blue, Bill?

Unfortunately Bill you nailed it on the head. Very sad.

Nice plumage!

He's pining for the fjords.

This is a dumb thread

Dis Cord?

[niteowl7710]

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.

Not dis chord, dat chord...
