Discord
Well at another member's request, I've created a discord server for the forums. If you don't know what discord is, it's basically a real time messaging type platform similar to a bulletin board but where you can interactively see people typing/responding and have a much more 'chat' like experience. Additionally, if you want to there's a voice channel where people can use the computer/phone microphone and speakers to chat real time. This type of thing initially was created for gamers to collaborate on a group level, but works for many other types of cases like this as well.
Back in the day this would be very similar to IRC or Internet Relay Chat. I used to frequent those quite often.
At any rate, if people want in, here's the link. I can't recall if you can just view it in a browser or if you have to install the app, but I've had it installed on my computer and phone for some time now.
Edit: Decided to remove the link. If you want in, PM me or email me at pdavis at daviszone dot org and I can give you the link... reeltarded makes a good point, if it's searchable, spammers will come like mad.
We'll see how much traction it gets

I had to change my discord handle though.

Re: Discord
Suggestion
This thread needs to be visible ONLY to members. I am sure.

Re: Discord
I don't know if there's a way to do that... forum category may be how that's handled, but I'll research it.

Re: Discord
There's only group level visibility. i.e. I could make the 'Garage Talk' forum member only. Right now I think all attachments are "forum member only" but the main areas are readable w/o login.. you just can't see schematics, etc.

Re: Discord
I found a way that should help allow only members to sign up:
~Phil
This one's good for a week or 50 signups, whichever hits first. Yes you'll have to manually type in the address, but it's a photo so you can't see it unless you're a registered member. ~Phil

Re: Discord
It's the exclusivity that makes us snobs, not the terrible sounding amps we laughed at on youtube.

Re: Discord
I typed the link into my iPad browser, page came up saying pompeiisneaks invited you, etc., then tried to accept the invite and this came up:

Re: Discord
I think it's a safari support thing, I've seen multiple posts that safari doesn't support something related to the technology used in discord. I think you might need to use chrome, or install the app and then paste the invite there somewhere...
