That would be great, but I also do like having chat channels in addition to forum channels. And voice chat is one of the most important parts of the whole thing, but I didn't mention those because matrix does text and voice chat just as well as discord. And I agree discord is popular among younger people. Though all of the active people in my community are in their 20's through 40's, I think we have maybe 1 or 2 people under 18 which we technically do not allow but we have exceptions for them.

Most of our members we met through online gaming, and it's a lot easier to get a gamer to join discord than it is a website based forum or a platform they have never joined (matrix, etc).
