First off great topic as you have highlighted something that has been on my mind for some while now, which is why I am finding the site difficult to engage with these days?

I’m not wholly convinced discord is entirely to blame.

I for one have not liked the look of the site since it changed. The main page is like observing the world through a letter box. I much preferred the old style where you could see much more content on the screen. That said the site is easier to look at on my phone.

As I scroll down the page the forums can wiz past with one click of the side bar. Is everyone else experiencing the same thing and just not visiting the forums as they didn’t see the topics?

I posted something myself the other day which I thought might get a bit of a reaction which was some news on some dates for wargame shows including Salute for this year, considering we have been in lockdown for nearly a year I thought it might be some welcome news. Needless to say it didn’t get one comment. Has everyone gone off Wargame shows? I very much doubt it.

My first encounter with discord was on here when it first went live and to be honest I didn’t get on with it. To me I find forums a good read even when you don’t partake in the chat, Discord feels like you are looking in on someone’s private conversation or am I visiting the wrong parts ? Which is something I could well be as the few times I have been on there I have been completely lost. My laptop pings away I presume someone is commenting but I have no idea where from. I went on there for the first time in months a week ago eventually I did find a group but they were all saying goodnight to each other 🙁

I’ll say it again great topic @phaidknott Certainly got this old dinosaur wondering which rabbit hole has everyone gone down.
