How interesting, I was using the Discord option and noticed that it got like the table babble of a Table Top RP

I run a LUG Star Trek game every other weekend and my biggest problem is keeping people focused on the game instead of talking about what happened at work or school, who they were dating now and so forth. 

It's a natural thing for people to chat on what's going on in their lives among their friends and Gaming groups are friends of shared interest but that was mostly what I saw on Discord so I ceased using it 

Presently there are a little over 200 members active at this moment and 140 of those are tagged into Discord

Sure not all of those listed are actively posting on discord and have signed in to see if anyone in the group is in the chat.

Then there is the evidence of the slow moving threads in the forums that seemed to lose posting frequency after Discord became the chat
