Logs aren't an issue, the 500 page threads here are just as unreasonable to sift through. I'm referring to the fact that Discord allows us to partition discussions far better than Skype. Within a single discord server you can have a dozen or more text and voice channels for different discussions, with rules stickied onto chat channels as needed. It also supports native content embedding and uploading, with a slightly easier to read "online now" list than the forum.

Unless it has colored text and a good way to search through old messages, I don't think the RPs would survive there.
Besides, I think the two have different purposes. The Thread would be better for longer posts, general discussion, etc. The Discord would be better for quick communication, and if we ever manage to start a Nexus game server again and not have it die rapidly.
I believe this was the reasoning behind the last chat room. We all know how that turned out. Technically speaking for general discussion a real time chat like Discord has every advantage over a forum like this.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I can't find a colored text command, Discord is made for many things but RP isn't one of them.
