@blinky465 I don’t know if there has been a split or not but i’m not convinced there has been one, or in so far as there has been a split that there are many people who only use one platform exclusively over the other. People are using OTT Discord instead of the OTT forums more than they did when the OTT Discord didn’t exist (for obvious reasons) but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t using the OTT forums. I think we should also distinguish between people visiting a forum to read forum posts and people posting in a forum. It ‘s possible that there are more people reading the OTT forums (and then perhaps discussing the subjects in the OTT Discord) than there were when there wasn’t an OTT Discord. It might end up being a bit like a street full of (for example) clothes shops. On the one hand all those clothes shops are in competition with one another, on the other hand people are more likely to visit any and all of those clothes shops because they’re all on the same street and so people interested in clothes have a whole street to choose from (instead of only one shop).

With all that in mind, and also, i don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing if there is a split.
