Re: Your Daily Random Comment
I think part of it is also that hosting a Discord server is easier, but it really makes finding information more difficult. It used to be that you could just search up a question and find a simple answer but now 9 times out of 10 you have to join a Discord server or do something else that requires an account in order to access. It's pretty inconvenient.

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
Never said it wasn't a good thing to be distracted on, or that being on here implied that you had a high attention span. The Discord moves much faster than the forums, though, and changes topics quickly. I'm guessing people enjoy that more than waiting for posts on a forum that stays on-topic more often. In Discord there's usually a good 3+ conversations going on at the same time and a billion channels that you have instant access to. You don't have to go through the trouble of sending forums messages, either.onshape wrote: ↑September 11th, 2023, 9:41 pm And "attention spans decreasing"? lol does that mean I have a high attention span for being on here due to getting distracted by precalc homework? I'm sort of glad now for the many (somewhere around 5) times I was about to create a discord account and didn't for higher level distraction (namely things like chess). Distractions are a hierarchy nowadays and we need to make sure the rulers are well-deserved. And I think scioly is a good thing to get distracted on, whether it helps you legitimately study for a science competition or not. (it does, but it also gets me distracted frequently. I think it's a good balance.)

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
It's not as fast as Discord, though. Replies are slower and the interface is also somewhat clunkier than Discord.
I think you're missing the point here.

I'm not missing the important point, I'm missing the random argument points. Even if I don't have strong arguments, the forums are just better for some reason.
