@dallin I tend to agree. However, the legal implications of hosting a forum nowadays and the need for immediate moderation makes it hardly an option for most people and make Discord a seemingly good alternative.

I don't like it, but I don't know of a better alternative either.

@dallin oh, but they *have* made a FAQ page!

...it's the first open channel in the discord, whether they intended it to be, or not.

And those frequently asked questions get asked, *frequently*.

Because it's unsearchable.

And it will itch at them. A constant trickle of people joining, asking the same questions, then leaving once they've got their answers...

@dallin discord might also have forums, but having a dedicated forum platform is good for it's own things, such as less of a barrier of entry or easier to find something specific.
