Discord is very discordant, it is not organized, it is just long threads, a proper forum is organized by topics and sub topics and if you have a question you do not have to read 600 posts to get an answer. discord is like trying to get a question answered on twitter or over the radio. I will be happy to spend a few hours setting up a bvarc only forum, if it gets used great if not then not much lost. Marc.
