I realize my opinion here will put me in the minority of most users, but I think the fact that a fair sized portion of the user base in this game prefers to communicate about it using a 3rd party program outside of the game forums, and indeed the game itself, is ruining the game. There is too much discussion about the game itself and it's future happening on Discord instead of inside the game itself.
Look no further that the new owners who, in case you haven't noticed, only communicate withing the game forms when somebody criticizes them or calls them out on an issue. And even then, they take no responsibility for ther lack of communication. If you can't tell, it annoys me. A lot.
Now get off my lawn!
