reddit moment
What
i realize itd be best to indicate how itd work in the guidelines actually akdjshsys
but this is basically like reddit
can we make forums with subforums? Eg: music prod split into music prod feedback (people can make forum posts for each demo) and music prod discussion (forum threads for different things like new techniques, new plugins, learning advice etc.)
The thing about this is if nobody speaks in it for a week it goes away
respectfully general will never be a forum channel
what about the hobbies catagory 😟
o im not sure what u mean?
oh
i was joking
This channel and meetups are fine as forum channels
new forum channels :O
Id never pray on the downfall of prd general chat
oh 😭 im so dense sorry
We don't need all of them to be forum
it’s ok !
hey
Is it possible to have a forum channel with separate threads of forum channels?
oh like threads in forum channels post?
it doesnt let you do that i don't think
yeah something like that! so forums in forums
Ah okay
now you could just get multiple forum channels together in one category on the channel list
and pretend those are subforums in a forum
Questions about the new feature
I think the main channel that comes to mind that could benefit from being a forum is the music prod feedback channel
So people can reply directly to demos as opposed to people talking over each other in one channel
maybe
yeah the music prod feedback channel could maybe work
although idk if people give that much feedback to be necessary for every single demo to be a separate post
Although would be easier to search thru
also u can set default reactions for posts so should we just have the posts in this forum channel be
or something
maybe it could help get rid of the issue where people post but dont give any feedback
idk its definitely worth thinking about for sure
Yeah
ya
Have to see how much the forum feature gets used
Honestly waffles over pancakes
Oh yeah the emote changes if it's the most used
React to me with that
Now tap
Go above 5
Has to be a single one
6
Hmm
What
Godspeed mods 🫡 every month discord evolves I wonder what discord will be like in a year lol
I wonder if it's only for the first message
Oh yeah let's try that
might be for the first message yeah
Yeah
Yeah it's the first message
i think theyre just rolling it to random servers
and we just happened to get it
madeoncord still doesnt have it lmao
dam.
i hate the searching feature on mobile
it does not get past like page 8 for me
or i have to go extremely slow
im hoping there’s not that many channels with forum posts enabled
like i want the talking channels to be as chaotic as they r right now
but maybe nmd can be a forum?
yeah
nmd im not 100% sure i worry it might kill conversations but potentially it could also work?
yeah
i mean we do have threads
actually yeah it might discourage talking
How many people are active in nmd
we just need to use threads more often in there for bigger drops
a lot of the server
Yuuuuuup it gives up 😂
i stopped using it when nmf stopped 💔
i dont think forums would work very well for general discussion channels where people just talk anyway it would just be confusing and split people up
Wtf is this
anyone in this forum smoke weed
having it for music prod feedback is a decent idea though i think that makes a lot of sense
Finally some good ideas in this joint
Forum
no seriously what is the point of this
lmao
isn't this just the same as threads?
no
the point is you make a new post per suggestion
ur not supposed to all just chat in it like a channel
like that
I mean no harm done, you dont have to use it lol
Rise of gru is the best movie of all time
and then people can discuss the suggestion
but i must know why it EXISTS
the suggestion channel is taken down instead of this
I’m sure some people find functionality out of it!
Lightyear was mid af
Even if we don’t necessarily
a week with no activity
I think 1 week with no activity
That's how threads work so I'm sure that's how this works
what so some doofus can just keep posting in one of theses and they last FOREVER?
WHY DISCORD. WHY.
Hmm
or the mods can just .. delete it
any1 can start threads too and they’re more spontaneous than forum posts id say
ryan thats the same as threads
THEN WHY IS THIS A THING? WE ALREADY HAVE THREADS.
I AM CONFUSED
I understand threads and meetups but that all it should be for
i just do not understand what the practicality of this is
I think
because threads are like sidebar conversations in a chat
this is like a forum board
LOOK OUTSIDE OF THIS FORUM
they serve different purposes
but what's the actual difference
THERE ARE MULITIPLE POSTS
this is a forum board which is way different
ANYONE CAN MAKE APOST
omg
I'm pretty sure threads were pretty chaotic when they first came out so just give this a week or so and then we'll see how useful forums are
I literally just explained the difference
because it’s easier to search and you can actually find each individual post
THANK YOU
its like reddit mcq
SO THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A BETTER VERSION OF THREADS
FUCKING THANK YOU FOR
EXPLAINING THAT
omg
UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE HERE WHO'S LIKE
not necessarily
"WAAAH, WAAAH, DONTCHA GET IT, BOOMER?"
Thats what people have been saying bro 💀
girl not this
??
LMFAO
you're acting like a boomer rn
This isn't like a better threads bro
McQ chill .
okay.
it's a different thing
u are mcq
Jesus Christ
????
...

?????
🤨
sorru it's uh
???
okay uh, this is getting uncomfortable
Oh I didn't even mean to answer your question 💀
LOL
understood! :3
Discord just implemented a funny new wacky feature 
Okay #997913478608199890 is a great use for the feature actually
but yeah, I assume this will most likely be a test run to see if this can work for suggestions and meetups.
We'll see what we can use this for exactly after prob a few days of it existing
Being able to just search for your show is a great use of this
whats hapopoening
True
a lot easier than threads
To be y2k nostalgic
for that purpose
yeah its way better than someone sending a meetup request or suggestion and it just gets buried
LOL
How does this work i need help 🥺
turn gaming into one so we can remake gamefaqs
maybe movies and tv forums ?
Also temporary chats for like livestreams and stuff
nah this doesn't work for that
idk i wish discord made it so forums could exist inside a text channel
This is still weird af lol
ehh
no i don’t think live stream needs it
i doubt two livestreams would happen like that so i think our livestream channel should stay
it's weird cause we're using it as general rn lmaoooooo
so should we even...bother with threads?
yes
too clunky
Really? I feel like it would be good cause after an hour of inactivity it deletes itself
The only channels I see this working in is suggestions and meetups
Nah it just auto archives
or movies if they get a ton of discussion
Ah fair enough
threads are still useful because they collapse within a channel
this is like replacing/making new channels
i also think threads are good because if you just have a ton of forums everywhere everyone would make them and it would become cluttered
Like a said earlier, threads are great cause they're like sidebars in a main conversation
If I wanted I could kill this forum rn
who just used that cursed retweet emote im scared
Temporary ones at that
i already feel like the mere existence of this is cluttered, but SOOOO BE IT.
omg
Do et
i think for movies and tv and gaming and stuff its better if a mod makes a thread only when needed than having a ton of forum posts with no one talking except one person
No
anyway. i am going back to #general so i no longer have to deal with this nightmare realm
i think nmd everyone should be able 2 make threads ill be real…
especially porter .. he gets super overshadowed ..
Yeah maybe for second sky channels
for reall
ok so tl;dr
- threads: sidechats for main convos
- forum posts: chats for channels that dont need main convos
literally
more or less
TL;DR
Threads are basically: Channel is about fruit, make a thread about berry discussion
Forums are basically: Forum is about fandoms, make new posts for different fandoms
i don’t think any channel with a standard flow of conversation should be forumised
yeah see he gets overshadowed 😟
this is for stuff where u just post not start convos
and then people engage with the post
not engaging in a main conversation
I think it could be both depending on the topic
Like what was said before, about specific Nurture Live shows
Also unlike threads, they aren't hidden! When you click the forum on the server, you can see all posts to see what you want to join in
i feel like the majority of channels still work better as normal channels
People can share their photos and videos and talk about a specific ahow
Without cluttering up main chat
i think nurture live meetups is a bit dead and specific for just a forum
maybe it should be combined with omega’s idea?
Not just meetups, like just shows in general lol
But I think mainly its a decluttering tool
like u can post about meet-ups, post show pics, etc i feel like a nurture live forum would be good
because ppl still definitely talk in that channel and has a main conversation flow
but it could benefit a lot from the forum structure
everyones downvoting u ryan
but i tried my best
Ratio moment
McQ about to lose reddit karma for this
trueeee
😟 not the karma
They should add discord karma to this
:(
After they add the read receipts theyve been talking about
they should make it that if you have negative discord karma you get killed
if they do that im deleting discord forever
LMFAO
TRUE
Damn how many people you leaving on read 💀
Valid
its like having location on
if ppl have them on i dont trust it
same
tho i do kno ppl who have it on so they dont forget to respond to things cuz then the pressures on
it honestly feels really unhealthy for everyone involved
where did my forum post go :(
sometimes i dont wanna respond to something immediately!! and i dont want that to make ppl feel bad!!!!
exactly
exactly !!
wait, just a test to see if you can link the post like a normal channel #997921244148150323
u can, cool
YASS😍
i was starting to like this feature and now i don't
idk i luv it
yeah!
but you deleted my forum 
i what
i assume anything on the server's channel list can be tagged
it's pretty cool
well not you specifically but
I think
nah u cant filter by tags i dont think
i dont see an option but ig if they auto archive it doesnt really matter
no you can
jk u can
I just checked a different server
the tags would help alot if you made all of nuture live forums
that will be useful
bc then you can tag like meetup vs discussion or whatever
Another use case for forums is spoilers for specific new things in all the entertainment channels - though idk whether normal threads are better
The Discord JS development server has this for like making support tickets and it's really handy to filter by tag
actually u know i could do "EUROPE" "USA" "CANADA" tags for nurture live meetups
yesssss
Slowmode for 6 hours 💀
me walking into a new forum post like “.. u-uh.. hewwo?? it’s so lonely in hewe… ‘u’ “
ill do that
yeah, that'd be rlly useful!
Bruh
maybe festival also since that's different?
thats me
I think you can do multiple tags
nah
yeah u can do multiple tags
this is a good complimentary feature
only the first one u set shows though
we should just delete every channel and have only 1 forum thing
yah
👍🍞
We should just delete every channel
We should just delete
prd is over folks, just porter robinson forum
ohhh u can require ppl to add a tag before posting
thats sick
Oh nice
omg the squished potaro
ooh that'd be super useful for the meetups
meetups yeah, suggestions ill leave it so that u dont have to
should remakes have a forum setup ?
hmmm
Maybe for different songs or types
not sure for this one
there's already so much in the remakes channel tbh
actually yeah could be cool
oh wth
i feel like i only see short bursts of conversation
you cant get rid of a ping until you type a message
what happens when its archived do they disappear for non mods
because you wouldnt want your remakes to be archived and go away probably
i feel like remakes isnt active enough with multiple convos to warrant a forum tbh
oh wtf archive does take them away?
mods can still see it (we just never got an archive role,,,,,,,,,,)
i was thinking for #you-might-like too but then if you cant scroll down the list past like a week i feel like people might not like that
for #you-might-like it would be cool but honestly i havent found a way to see locked/archived posts
so they would just disappear
ok nvm
unless discord adds an archive feature to forum posts then we shouldn’t change the remakes and yml channels
I love nuture live
agreed
Wait they're right there lmao
Guys I just sneezed
Once I took this chat out of side bar they showed up?
huh where do u see them
we'll see if discord makes archives visible soon
wai huh
i straight up only see them
I'm on desktop
I took this chat of sidebar and they showed up
based light mode
reload client?
omg
well W
jumpscare
oh wha t
oh yeah i see them now
well one of them atleast
archive jumpscare
new discord updaet!
Hm, so this might still be a bit buggy
nah its fine i just archived another one
archive
I see it
Vince likes discord
i locked the "uh, what is this feature?" one and it doesnt show up for me
you can archive your own posts
I see it but I can't talk in it
wait
it's like mod archiving a thread
yeah i locked it
but i cant see it
i can only see the other 2
hmm
bc when u interact with it yore added to it
i wasnt part of test archive
i wasnt apart of the two that are there
bc i ony see 2
no that can't be right cause kyl is literally an admin
oh hm
another attempt by the corrupt mod team to stifle our need for thicctaro…
but you were able to full-on delete the post i made as a test right?
that too
they have to be able to see everything
yeah u can full on delete
those will be gone forever
but the ones i locked or archived arent supposed to disappear
Wow I love Reddit!
I do toO!
this reddit skin is dope
I mean, akshuuaaalllltltllllly this isn't like reddit
new discord lore
Kyl you can’t do this to me I have a test to study for
😭
Can we have more dogeposting in prd
nah but fr its kinda annoying that they just disappear
Stop making me play around with new features
thinking its like archive and its still slowly being fully implemented in all servers
im gonna set the thicctaro one to archive in an hour and see how it goes
it looks like only mods can lock though i cant even do it on my own
ohh
the way the meme thread just disappeared
on my own post i can only archive
multiple ppl reported the issue in the partners server so i assume its a known issue
ohh yeah probably then
at least they dont dissapear from archiving that would be worse
So Kyl how long before we change the GFF and ARG channels in madeoncord to this format
visibly theres still a lot of issues lmao
actually i dont think it is ngl
Hm
yeah me either
Then threads are better?
i like the "mess" having a single chat does (+ ppl have to join them still to talk etc)
nah just having a main chat
yeah theres no real benefit to it not being
just better for ppl reacting too
its just like a twitch chat
gff nah, gff meetups definitely, arg channels probably
but would be whenever we get them and we dont so 😭
even though I understand this feature kinda I don't entirely get what this is gonna be useful for aside from wanting a "thread" that looks a little different from a normal thread
exactly !!
guess it'll just take some playing around with
say i wanna meet up with people at a porter robinson show in chicago
a small fraction of the server is in chicago or the surrounding area
Easy place to see all the treads relating to a specific topic without having to join the threads
i can post in a normal channel and ask but the relevant people probably will not see and my message will get buried
if i make a forum post instead not only does it make it much more visible for the relevant people but it also give a place for us to talk about it
but what I don't get is why you wouldn't just make a thread (I made a Red Rocks thread in the meetup channel and it worked fine)
basically this is like if discord channels could be joined via subreddit feed vs threads where discord channels are being joined via twitter timeline
because these just work better for that specific instance
yeah a thread still isnt as visible its really just another channel
then why the hell are they keeping threads lol
I assume this would be a replacement
i get what ur saying that theyre not Super different but they are still and have their purposes
bc theyre useful for side convos in a main convo channel
^ yeah i get u too
because they’re more spontaneous
also is this good for #997913478608199890
maybe I just don't see people using threads so often idk
this is a formal forum
because for example when a new pog movie comes out and everyones talking about it we dont need 10 different people making different forum posts
we just need a mod to make a thread
but threads are supposed to be spontaneous and short and very hyperspecific to the moment, like a conversation that gets too long
exactly
I guess the problem is I don't see people use threads that way lmao
yeah because discord doesn’t show threads lol
we still have the thread for the Russia-Ukraine Situation from months back
threads also are useful for decluttering the channel list
see thats a good example that would be worse as a forum
its good as a thread
like if we didn’t have #963891956142985256 and #wordle in threads it would be a mess
true
i am getting it completely 😄
theyre still like fairly vague discussion channels
yeah the russia ukraine channel is best as a thread because it’s not rly a permanent discussion but it’s also a conversation
yeah this is good
omg
ohhhh true actually omg sorry
swag
it is Renamed™️
alright I understand now
omg what is this
where is home ?
this is actually so cool tbh
Why does it?
home not available for us unfortunately :(
atleast for now
actually ill try requesting for it rn
what is home
not sure how to describe it tbh, we have it over in madeoncord if u wanna check
just basically a like "highlights of the server that happened recently" tab basically
the algorithm seems a bit messy right now but i like this feature
are mods able to move stuff around and add/remove messages from the home tab?
yeah ! i think its taking replies or reacts as proof of engagement to show ppl messages
yes
add no but remove yes
nor move
actually we can only remove stuff from it LOL
but we can pin messages to it
this is so weird
what is the purpose of this said feature, other than randomly selected highlights
this is really confusing wtf
one of the most unnecessary additions i've ever seen Discord make
no i love this
it’s like if u wanted to like. Catch up on big moments in the server
Although it needs work
i don’t think it should be putting rly depressing and personal messages up there lol so they need to figure out something else other than reaction count based sorting
yeah theyre basically just taking starboards that a lot of servers have
the only difference is those use a specific emote for reactions so people can intentionally vote to put stuff on the board
honestly if they just make it so you can set the emote im down for that its fun
am I the only one that always has to re-read all of the forum threads on the server so the server isn't marked as being unread anymore even when there's no new messages?
i think u can edit it here
oh actually nvm im not sure
but i think right clicking on the channel and clicking "mark as read" should work? unless thats what ure already doing idk
You can always right click the server and mark as read
that too
that somehow does not fix it
its still marked as unread after and only when I go through every forum thread on here it goes away
