Forums like AVSIM are usually fairly easy to navigate (even if the search function here rarely works very well!). Plus, there are a great many computer users who are resistant to change - good grief, Usenet still exists after more than 40 years!😁 OS: Win11 Home; Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4; CPU: Intel i5-12400 (Alder Lake) 4.4 GHzRAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 64Gb (4x16GB) 3600 MHz; GPU: MSI Radeon RX 5700XT [8GB] SSD: Corsair Force MP510 (for OS); 2x 1TB & 1x 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 (one for sim, two for addons)HDD: Seagate 3TB (Data); Seagate 1TB (Programs), ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B Curved 31.5" monitor, 1440p, 38Mbs ethernet Fulcrum One Yoke, Honeycomb Bravo throttle, Thrustmaster Airbus TCA sidestick & throttle, Logitech Pro pedals, Xbox wireless gamepad (1st gen)

But as usual, us old dudes have already been there, done that, and have the T shirt, 😏 Good point. And yes it does remind me of a BBS! At least we can post actual pictures instead of ASCII art. 😁 "That's what" - She

I wonder if they meant to call it Discourse, but got mixed up - like people do with 'infamous' when they actually mean famous. https://tipsforefficiency.com/why-is-discord-called-discord/ ...jim ASUS Prime Z790-E, Intel i9 13900K, 32Gb DDR5 Ram, Nvidia 3090 24Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB and 1 TB, Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide 49" G-SYNC Monitor.

So, like a number of us implied, they goofed!🙄 Though I suppose it is memorable due to the irony.

Isn't my email enough? Emails can be programmatically generated and then abused to create an unlimited amount of accounts. We would not have enabled the option if we didn't need it - the reality is that for a server of this size we kinda need it, otherwise it's trolls all around. Keep in mind we never get access to either your email or phone number - this is all handled by Discord themselves. Developer - FlyByWire Simulations
