Discord is okay for chat and VOIP (I use it for a weekly RPG) but for discussions it's too ephemeral to be useful. Like walking by a conversation at a convention: it might be interesting, might not, but either way it'll move on (or you will) before too long.

I guess I’m in the minority, but Discord is the literal equivalent for me. Steve M’s server is well managed, and game specific chats are moved to archives & easy to search. You get notifications for @‘s instead of having to poll a thread to see if there were responses. You can create subtreads to not overwhelm the “main” channel you started in.
I’ve been on that Discord for awhile and nothing about it feels any more “ephemeral” than threads here.
I wish I could upload some screenshots of how organized it is from my phone, but that’s kind of a chore on this platform where I’d need to place the file on some host like Imgur and then make sure I have just the right bbcode to make it work here. On Discord it’s a few button clicks.
I dunno, I’m just not seeing the advantages of boards.

I think the advantage of boards like this is that long form content is easier to post and see than it is on Discord. Then again that sort of content seems to have dried up as of late here .
