Hey! As some users have expressed concerns over Skype, I decided to see if Discord was a better option, given many character boards have been moving over there. After a bit of research, it's overall much better than Skype. Here's an overview on why (altered from this thread):
- Discord can be used in the browser, through the program and even on mobile devices.
- You do not have to sign up to use Discord, allowing new members to check out the chat before joining.
- Having multiple text/voice channels allows for much more organized discussion.
- It is possible to set how loud you hear each individual in a voice chat, balancing for different mic sensitivity.
- Doesn't hog computer resources and lag
- Doesn't destroy online Wi-Fi matches
- Easier to manage for admins, as they have more control, meaning the chat will stay cleaner and easier to use for everyone.
- You can easily tell who is online, offline, and AFK.
- No ads!
- IP is protected at all times
- Constantly getting updates, unlike Skype that very rarely gets updated with new features.
You can read more about Discord from their main site.
Rules:
(1) No NSFW Posts. Mainly images but applies to comments too. This results in an IMMEDIATE ban. Strictly prohibited! If you wouldn’t want a teacher or a boss to see what you are about to post or the comment you are about to send, don’t post it.
(2) Character Bashing- Don’t bash our main, or other characters! Strictly not allowed! You will be warned if you are “bashing” a character. This is not an outlet for your complaints against our character.
(3) Baiting / Bullying / Pedestaling other players in the chat. Everyone is treated equally with respect. If you are “toxic” to this chat community you will be warned. Bear in mind that being toxic is a vague word but the moderators will let you know if you are breaking this rule and will give you a warning. Repeat offenders will get banned. This is supposed to be a safe haven for our character mains, anybody against that goal will be removed.
(4) No spamming the chats. Be it images, memes, or constant message notification spam. You will be warned.
(5) If you add someone who was previously banned without the moderators knowing so, both parties will be removed.
(6) Do not change your name to be the same as someone else. Attempting to masquerade as another person is a bannable offense.
(7) Please use the channels for their intended purpose.
(8) Please show respect when you’re in the voice chats.
If you break the rules, there will be consequences. This can range from a simple warning to a complete ban from the chat. Breaking minor rules multiple times will have larger consequences.

While this may seem odd, I have one more request for all of you! To ensure that the Kirby boards keep a decent amount of activity and information is still widely available, any new information found in "metagame" should be archived and posted on the forums. Otherwise, it'll end up getting lost and new members can't access it.
