Hi,

So I picked up that you can use skype, jabber etc. But now Discord, why is that?

Thanks,

Kills forum activity but I can be wrong, 🤐

[Steam]

Asked millions of times before..

Because it redirects traffic from HF to elsewhere

[Deal]

Because discord is deemed a direct competition to HF.

It's considered a competing medium of conversation.

I always thought the reason was the ease of impersonation.

Takes away forum activity since you can basically make a forum on there, well not exactly but you know what i mean.

They say it's a competition which makes no sense tbh, since they allow everything else like Skype lmao. Braindead logic imo. Don't see how it's competition when most the shit on here would be a banable offense to talk about on Discord.

Skype doesn't allow you to make servers (or forums as the zexi worded it).
It's not bannable to talk about it but to invite people to your server or to add you is bannable (as far as I am aware, anyone can feel free to correct me there)

Yeah, I've seen several people banned just from posting their invite links. I think it's only a few days though

Because if everyone used discord to message each other where would hf's pm system get used? never.

[GiraffeBear]

It seems like Discord really killed this forum's activity.

[Bluffer]

Discord is banned mainly because it's consider competing site since on servers they can be like their own forum, it cuts out the site activity.

For me, I only use Discord to IM with people... so I really hope HF adds that (pretty sure they plan to add an IM of some kind with XMPP) to the site soon.

It’s not good for HF traffic. As everyone above said, it’s a concurrence for HF.

[Thornzzz]

Direct competition with the site.
