What is wrong with keeping things confined to this forum? It's nice to have a record of everybody's posts after the fact if you weren't following/chatting live. I'd rather not splinter the community across multiple different mediums.

But this is also true

I miss the eLynah chat.

Gotta be some IM tool we could use.  But I am only a caveman.

Anybody familiar with Discord?  I don't know how to set it up, but if somebody does, it could work.

I love discord - I can help set one up

I set up the slack a while ago. It was largely abandoned but I'm happy to set up more admins and get it going again if people want.

Benefit of discord is messages are saved forever for free and there's voice chats which is nice, but slack is fine too

I like discord and I use it a lot for other things. I don't use slack, though I know it's a popular work app.

I just want to emphasize that using one of these programs will, at least in the case of discord, likely spell the end of this forum.

When I accessed the Lynah chat during a game, I also had the forum open in a different window.  The real time dialogue of the chat was the next best thing after sitting at a game with a friend and commenting on the action.  That is what I miss in its absence.  And because it was a discreet community, it was really like having a conversation with friends.  Unlike Twitter or X or whatever.

The men and women defeated Yale and Brown this weekend by a combined score of 21-4.

We've had instant messaging before.  It may help recruit some younger fans to eLynah.  We are fairly, um, aged.

Hey. Some of us age unfairly.

I was surprised to see that 7 is the most goals scored on the road by the men since the Ryan Vesce Game at Princeton twenty years ago.

Yup.

Instant messaging/chat room, sure. But discord is basically a whole forum, with threads and subthreads.  The difference being that it facilitates real time train of thought chatting rather than longer posts like a forum. My general view is that this community is small enough that I'd prefer to keep it in one place. I think discord would supplant, not supplement, this site.

Though, it is true that actual current students would be much more inclined to join a discord than a forum...

there is a level of people that will use Discord..  But there is a level that will avoid it much like We have thrown slack out the window at work.
