Since all my Guilds have Discord groups, that many find useful.. i will also add Foe. Whether i use it depends a lot on what will happen in the future.
Personally the Forums as they are now have little value other than as a place to waste time (for me).. a place to whine / complain about Foe things (for many) and a place to argue nit picking over trivial words (a few longtime players ) anda few bit for fun, (Like the ban thread)
The loss of the Forums will hurt no one except a few new players seeking answers. (but lately they seem to not even be willing to listen! . AkA the plunder thread that was just run. The newbie seemed incapable of actually listening?
Anyway the current Forums have no value other than to blow off steam, or waste time. Same as what the new Discord will do. So why get your panties in a bunch?
The one use for the current Forums might be to have the announcements And threads pertaining to them. If they can make a Foe channel in discord for those after a time .. The the Forums as they are now can die.
Discord can be very complex with many side bits. And where players can invite others, exclude others etc.Making new areas to discuss things within/adjacent to the main line. I would think after a short time a lot of possibilities will open up
