I'm unfamiliar with that term "discord." Please provide some more color. Chats are fun, but sometimes they can get unruly, for lack of a better term. I am reminded of the Window's Open podcast with WPA president Ishaun Singh. He got pounded, and it wasn't pretty. A lot of the recent WPA happenings are not 100 percent his family, but yet he is the poster child of WPA today. The ugliness coming from some of the chat posters was hard to read.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Text/Audio/Video chat on demand for fans of pool/AZB. There are several rooms for any pool interest. It's hard to explain but it's kind of a video game thing. Lots of younger folks participate. But instead of a video game it's real life pool and azb topics. We could be the announcer for an Accu-Stats world premier. what a fun night or two a week with no entry fee.
Same mods on here or maybe all gold+ members can be mods automatically. You see I'm a freeloader, no gold or silver, but why bother if the forum is half a day behind when I'm curious about pool happenings.

If you can set up an Official AZB™ Discord™ I would humbly be requested to be in the mods list. I'd not shy away from a second or 5th in command but let me know boss. We all like talking pool at all hours of the day and night. I can ban a fella spamming adds to her premium snap but I don't want too much responsibility other than that.
Real talk @justnum talk to the owners@azbhousepro/@mods @admin and set us up a discord™ server to rival most anime steam games numbers. I will promote as good as I can, word of mouth. Dead serious, let's bring AZB into at least the 10's, maybe 20's or something. This site has the potential to have a 35-45+daily chat count. It's nothing to retire on but we can all enjoy chatting pool 24/7. Even the old fellas can figure it out. Discord is brain dead simple to set up.

Discord is probably at the razors edge of happenings. For pool it would be a fresh of breath air if you know what I mean.
It would just be AZB participants either live chatting, text or even voice if they wanted... I'd love to hear some storytime or shit talk while practicing. We're all friends here why can't we talk amongst ourselves? 24/7

Good point, but I think it's the future. As long as the happenings are controlled by the site owner and admins I think the future trajectory would be great for the future of the site. Hell, we could even vote on an AZB plushie to give our grandkid as a donation to the site.
Does AZB have a patreon? I'd donate $5 a month there, they already got my cc.
maybe a "match chat" function on the forum would be better then. the benefit of a forum is that (some) people tend to think more before they hit send. there's a "filter" that chats don't have, especially when it gets heated
Design the first test cases for discord usage.
It can be used for ref calls.
Imagine MR moments for non tv tables.
1) No one is watching, they use discord from phone and summons the ref.
2) League night use discord to organize match schedules. Last minute changes how fast can a cold player get ready.
3) Instead of talking loudly at a match like SJM, he can go into whisper mode to avoid the commentators curse. And people can respond like on CSPAN. A true forum. Let them text the message then it will display not be heard.
Who has a comeback for the curse?
Nominating a lead is not the same as wanting to do the OpWork.
Here are the plans go. Death Star is approaching.
If you adopt the BAD it bypasses discord and works at a higher efficiency rate. BAD is a server side deployment system, its platform agnostic and works in html devices.
Billiards Aptitude Device. Modular development to absolute pool management. Law enforcement cant scan custom protocols or data packets.
Ask for quotes. Custom systems are worth inquiries.

There’s zero chance the owners of AZB want us spinning up a Discord room and trying to get users by promoting it here. You’d be using their resources to take users away from their property, and potentially hurting their bottom line.
That said, if AZB was behind this thing, and promoted it, I might drop in during big livestreams - but otherwise, I prefer the pace and format of this forum to live chat.

Yeah I was hoping for an official one, not one to snipe away resources. I kind of doubt it would be a good fit really, running a forum/site like this is quite a bit or work, with discord you pretty much want to have mods on 24/7 and it's a real labor of love type thing. It's great for the users but there is a learning curve.
I've seen well run discord servers on things like minecraft servers or CRT television enthusiast groups etc. They can be a real great time but they do take work to set up. Amazing when up and running.
I have now, finally, heard everything.

They're huge for retro gaming. If you still have your old systems it's the easiest way to have a lag free experience. It's kind of like old audio equipment in a way, they just hit different. Hooking up old systems to modern televisions is hit or miss, mainly miss. Modern consoles like the NES mini are full of lag and emulation errors. These old tvs with the old systems really are the only way to play something authentic like how it was when we were young. Heck, we still have combat/tank tournaments on the Atari around here!
What's insane is that they have become somewhat collectable for some sets (usually with good amount of hookup types). I used to pick up "upgrades" on the side of the road for nothing. Now if you want to get a nice 29" or so with component hookups you're often looking at $250+ on marketplace etc.
They have monitors that were specialty for studios and television networks and such that command high prices now, we're talking $1900 for a 19" in good shape and calibration. There are even more expensive ones that that!
Watching old 4:3 content on an actual old CRT has it's charms and if you grew up watching that format on VHS or just television shows back then it really adds something to the experience. Sanford and Son without bars at the sides or weird cropping like on the Simpsons episodes makes a difference.
There's also mods you can do to many sets to add additional inputs, allow RGB inputs etc. You have to have good soldering skills, the ability to read the schematics and a healthy respect for the deadly voltage that a flyback is capable of.
Sorry... nerded out a bit, but it's really nuts how much info and following there is on these old things.

Well shoot… now I want one, lol. I can appreciate that level of nerding out.
I do have a lot of nostalgia for the furniture-style Zenith we had in the ‘70s, and the hours of Pong I played on it as a young child.

will trade a commodore 64 for a hi-end mezz, if that's how you really feel
Onepocket.org has a discord. A little over 300 users, but very few are active.
Their members on average are probably a bit more senior than here, but I would expect similar results.
