Ok, discord is basically a place where we have "servers" that inside of them have "groups of chatrooms" about a specific subject. You go to a specific chatroom to talk about a specific subtopic within a subject, and you go to a specific server to talk about a specific subject. Or if that still sounds confusing for you, well, basically imagine ICQ, but way more modern and interesting. Here's a screenshot of a discord server (in this case, the blender discord server): You see, on the far left we have the servers (the circular icons, the one I'm currently showing is the "blender community" server), on the left we have the channels, that are basically like the ICQ chatrooms, on the middle we have the current chat, and on the right we have the users that are currently online. There is a Rule the Rail discord server but it isn't very active (invite here: discord.gg/Qsy3kE2ued), it is moderated by rtrfan739, however I'm thinking about making my own RTR discord server. I hope that clarifies your questions.

Hi Train,
I'm sorry, but I oppose this proposal. I used to frequent the RTR discord server (maybe I still have an account there), but I left it because the layout is very complicated and confusing. Another reason is that I'm not a fan of chatting (that's why I don't even use ICQ). Be aware that most members of the RTR community are very busy and don't have time to get together to chat. Also, most community members are used to the LittlevilleDepot server, which RTR Central is similar to - that's why the RTR discord server moderated by Rtrfan739 is not very active - I'm afraid your RTR discord server will be the same...

STARFIGHTER I completely understand that, but I have no plans of getting rid of the forum or making it inactive because of the discord server. My goal here is to attract more people to the discord server and if possible the forums so we can make the rtr community bigger. And either way I think there might still be one or two members that might be able to be active on discord and enjoy it. I like these forums but I also think we should "expand" to new horizons, but that does not mean the forum will become obsolete, the goal is to make the community bigger. If the discord server ends up being inactive, well, at least we tried.
