is this some special forum the members have started just for themselves?
if it is why should anyone post here for their benefit if they have a secret society.
or am i missing something.
You know on second thought... I guess we could do that live chat thing on YouTube matches also. Just have to start them at the same time although no betting I’m guessing lol
haha, yea good point...

Yes, it seems to me our discord channel is mostly a fairly casual chat area -- without the need to be too overly "on topic" for One Pocket per se. I don't see it as detracting from the forum. Once in a while there is also a rules question or the like, and I imagine whoever posts is hoping for immediate answers, lol, but I know I often don't check discord for days at a time, so for me it is definitely not very immediate. I also use it to PM cincy a lot, and it works very well for that without running up my 1P.org PM count. Plus like cincy said, you can include attachments very easily, and go back and look at the message trail very easily, which is nice. Obviously I have no idea how many others use discord for PMs. But cincy and I do back and forth quite a bit and it helps. It's closer to text messaging exchanges than it is to PMs here.Discord lends itself well to certain discussions, but will never be a good platform for the wwyd threads, which I really enjoy on this site. You guys are an enthusiastic and knowledgeable bunch and thanks for doing those and more.
Cheers,
Neil

The audible option I have not tried yet at all, but apparently it offers the possibility of us sharing our own in house commentary for a One Pocket stream that has none (for example) -- or has one we are not so fond of lol.
Discord might be excellent for those of us at Derby City to easily say we have a table available -- or want to meet for dinner, etc
Hey Cincy,
I had registered and used discordbefore briefly, I clicked on the link for live chat after reading this thread and it wants me top register all over again. What's up? How does this thing work?
Thanks,
Dave
Good question Dave, that was my fault!
So basically you can use discord one of 3 ways:
1) On your phone
2) On your PC through a browser (chrome, IE, Firefox, etc)
3) On your PC through their downloadable client
I have the client installed on my machines because it gives me a little more functionality. So when I open up the discord program, it automatically takes me to the onepocket.org channel and opens the user pane so I can see those who I have communicated with via PMs.
When you are using it through your browser, for the first time, you have to have an invite link to click and then create your username. Once you have done that like a lot of you have, now when you go back to discord, you just go to the main discord page:
https://discordapp.com
Click "OPEN DISCORD"
And then it should just take you right to any servers you have joined (in this case onepocket.org).
Glad you pointed it out Dave, I changed the menu up top so that under Live Chat it now has 2 sub links:
Register - first time users would click this to create their username
Sign In - takes you right to discord app
Hope that helps explain it, sorry for the confusion!
I did as you suggested and got to this screen only - still confused:
Now just click the One Pocket.Org symbol in the top left under that blue tab thing and you will be in..
