LinuxCNC Discord? (for chat & support)

I'd love it if we moved this forum to Discourse, which is much nicer forum software.

Well I misunderstood you then because to me this implied a replacement.

Anyway, at the end of the day it comes down to what some of the long time support givers have already stated. The best place to look for help is where you have the best chance of getting an answer.
Now, one can certainly open new channels and hope that helpful users will actually come and frequently check for questions to try and answer them.

Just wanted to give an update on the status of the LinuxCNC Discord group and my thoughts on how it compliments both this forum and the IRC channel, they can all live in harmony.

Discord is not a replacement for this forum. Even though the technology is essentially a combination of IRC & Skype our community Discord server is not intended as a replacement for the LinuxCNC IRC. It is common in open source projects for serious dev work to occur on a separate server from community chat so that developers don't have to field the normal newbie questions and day to day banter. Community chat handles that. Discord in our context is LinuxCNC community chat. It now has 221 members and is quite active.

Discourse is a forum replacement which is not Discord. This thread is not about Discourse.

The future of the LinuxCNC IRC channel is not being questioned by me anymore. I believe the developers should work wherever they feel most comfortable.

Who owns discord ?

I'm the "server owner." "Server" in Discord parlance is a misnomer, it's more like a chat group. "Owner" is also a misnomer, because Discord hosts everything for free and that will always be the case.

Discourse is a forum replacement which is not Discord. This thread is not about Discourse.

Thanks for that note as I had totally missed that the discussion had changed from Discord to Discourse.
Sloppy reading on my part.

[edit]

I think the question was who owns the domain.

It's more about who owns the information, read somewhere it is a chinese company, i absolutely and utterly refrain from giving such countries any info, just take a look at what they did with this pandemic, they will risk 7 billion people just to profit.
Dumb f@#$ , who are they gona profit from if they kill the population ???
