It would seem that the "fix" is in.
Apri1, that was a very articulate response. Not a very convincing one (at least, to me) but very well stated. It might have been a bit better, if not for the ad hominem statements concerning my age or ability to communicate. There's no need for that here.. (This isn't the chatroom, after all.) It's all a matter of opinion. You have yours. I have mine.
Also, to be honest, I don't favor an in-house chat, either. Personally, I think we can do without it altogether.
So you dont want a discord server for the forum or an in house chat, seems your intentions are pretty clear on the matter.
