I really don't know if this is the best place to post this, but I'll go ahead and do it here. So for those of you who aren't familiar with Discord, it's a new messaging service mostly used by gamers, though it's easy functionality and general versatility has made it popular across multiple Fandoms. One reason for its popularity is just how easy it is to make a chat group public: Simply post the chat group's assigned URL link and it will automatically connect you the chat on the Discord app, or on the Discord website, if you do not have the app. Now I've kind of been wanting to better connect with some of the editors on this Wiki better, chat in real time with them, but unfortunately, I've noticed that the IRC chat is almost always empty. Honestly, I can kind of understand why, as IRC groups are outdated and no one really wants to keep them open all the time. A Discord group, however, would be well populated with users as long as the app is kept open. Would anyone be interested in this? Or perhaps one has already been made and I'm just not aware of it. If that's the case, I would recommend posting a link on the front page.
