Discord Feasibility Tests/Feedback

Hey gents,

I have been looking into an alternative form of voice communication for a while and stumbled upon Discord.  It came up due to Obsidian Entertainment dropping TS3 for it and some of the RDDT units doing the same.  Discord is a free voice comms program that I am trying to get feasibility information for and I need your help with feedback.  Here is what I currently know they need to add:

• Sub channels (already confirmed on their subreddit as WIP)
  
• More detailed permissions features.
  
• More publicity (to help offset dropping TS if we choose).
  

And here are some of the advantages we (being myself Thunder, Blitz, Skyray, and Hardin) have already found:

• Great control over text chat (every lance and division has its own voice chat channel).
  
• Built in image viewer and YouTube player.
  
• Better voice quality overall.
  
• In-game detection system (not a selling point, but nice nonetheless).
  
• Large cross platform support (done via website, downloadable program, or free mobile app)
  
• Auto AFK checker.
  

If you want to help us test out Discord, please go to https://discordapp.com/ and either open the app through the website or download the program (you get keybindings and better voice quality through the program) and use this referral link: https://discord.gg/0mQXLPVrH3riKXNb.  Please leave any feedback in this thread.

Fixed.

I've found that Discord is a bit more "group-friendly" than Teamspeak; permanent messages that act like a message board instead of a chat room, online status without being required to actively communicate, etc, etc, etc.

This is awesome!
