June 19, 20205 yr I subscribed to the MSFS Discord, but actually I wonder why people seem to like it so much. It's a chat box where it is virtually impossible to seriously follow any subject because everyone is talking through one another in one long serial flow. Person A says something serious and interesting about a certain subject Person B talks about something completely different Person C posted a picture of the pizza he is having Person D responds with a picture of his plate of spaghetti Person E responds to person A ... but in the mean time everyone totally lost track. On a forum like this we have threads which encourage to stick to the subject ... which often already proves difficult enough. Slack is an app that allows threads and therefore is much more usable, but seemingly it's less popular. Edited June 19, 20205 yr by RudyB24 Always have fun --0-- Flight Sim Navigation

It's to talk about the hot subject of that moment and move on, not replace the MSFS forum. Edited June 19, 20205 yr by trainplane3

June 20, 20205 yr Yeah I joined early aswell and liked to read the general discussions and the community but after it became official I only see the rules, welcome etc. channels. I even reacted to the necesary posts to gain access.

This is the formats the very early 'forums' had in the early to mid 90's which none of the kids seem to get. I hate going back in time and Discord is a perfect example of this. That above perfectly describes a movie and pizza night with 14 year olds. Disconnect would've been a better term.

For example one of the Discord groups I follow are the ProMods folks who develop assets for SCS's Euro Truck Sim 2 and American Truck Sim: Fr.
