fuck me i just looked at what slack is (since i had no idea) and you'd swear it's made by the same team, holy fuck
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;51571684]My biggest issue with Discord is that it's impossible to create private channels similar to Teamspeak. I want the ability to have a channel where I can put on a password, and only certain people can get in, and then be able to see the chatlogs and the like.
The reason for this is quiet simple, if you are say playing GModRP, it's impossible to share private information with the current Discord. It just simply doesn't work out.[/QUOTE]
you can do that, using the role system. just make a channel that only allows certain roles, and make a role that you can apply to people who you want to access the channel.
I'd like animated avatars in the core program, however the avatars are so small anyways so I could hardly care less
One thing about slack though, is that calling people via voice even is chrome only
I found a platform called room.co recently, while it's limited to 4 people, it works on Firefox (and it's modern forks)

turns out screensharing is part of the modern web, which is interesting

You can also just set channel permissions per-individual. You can also Private Message people/multiple people.

As someone who has Discord open LITERALLY every second I'm on my PC this thread title terrified me.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;51571683]They've taken money from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent]Tencent[/url] (China's Internet Megacorperation), while this couldn't mean much right now, and they want to remain a startup. There's a sign pointing that Tencent have some form of interest in the platform.
That's right now the current worst case scenario, since a business transfer includes giving whatever they have hosted to this mega-collection of data
They also own Riot, and part of Epic games, if that makes you feel better or worse[/QUOTE]
Tencent also uses their own launcher for their own games and man does it feel like malware. It has this built in "Lag reducer" and a whole bunch of other shit that just feels bad.

they never allowed animated avatars to begin with I thought. pretty sure it was just an exploit

From the article
[quote]
In 2015, security testing firms AV-Comparatives, AV-TEST and Virus Bulletin jointly decided to [b]remove Tencent from their software whitelists[/b]. The Tencent products supplied for testing were found to contain optimizations that made the software appear less exploitable when benchmarked but actually provided greater scope for delivering exploits.[84] Additionally, software settings were detrimental to end-users protection if used. Qihoo was later also accused of cheating, while Tencent was accused of actively gaming the anti-malware tests.[85][86][/quote]

It's about as an exploit as .apng on facepunch
Just got this because of this video. Should influence friends to move here.
[QUOTE=IrishBandit;51571549]The Nitro features are: larger file uploads, cross-server custom emojis, and animated avatars. Seems pretty reasonable to me.[/QUOTE]
So the title of this thread is a little misleading then. 2/3 of those used to be in the app and then they mysteriously got removed a few updates back.

Any emojis that could be used cross-server still can be afaik, it's just that that's reserved for Twitch sub emotes from servers that are linked to a Twitch partner's stream.
[QUOTE=Mattk50;51571715]I think you can do this but you need to use the role system.[/QUOTE]
Yep, I'm in a big YouTuber discord and we have higher ranked voice and text rooms for moderation and higher level collab stuff. Works well.

Rocketbear's (beam.pro streamer)'s emoticons are still global
I'm not even a subscriber, unsure what's the go with VIP discords

A discord VIP has this one, and it's not global

i still have my betterttv emotes
the betterttv emotes existed mainly due to a cache exploit.
animated avatars were also a exploit
Strange. My Monster Hunter ones don't work in any other server but the one they came from. Is that a setting they can change? Because it appears that I am the only one with this problem.

enabling global emotes only means you allow people with special emotes from twitch channels and stuff on your channel

I used that a grand total of one time. To log in and remember that I have zero friends on it and everyone else is on Steam or Skype or something else.

Gonna get it, Discord is nothing but fucking amazing for team communications and overal bantering. I don't really think people should complain if all you get are some cosmetic features with the exception of the larger file upload but i rarely hit that limit anyway and i prefer to upload files on a different site

Late reply but what are you talking about? Just set up a private channel.

Anyways as long as the discord sub doesn't go bullshit I'll pay for sure. It was only a matter of time before they needed to cash in somehow, there was no way they'd be able to host all the servers, files and users and keep producing features for free. So far everything seems fine.
id like nitro to bring some benefits to server owners like maybe custom themes or MOTDs or something that'll be handy
Can I pay money to remove the ebin meems when its loading on startup?

The rocketbear ones are betterttv emotes, where if the server owner is registered there they can bring over 5 emotes from twitch, while if they have a premium betterttv they can bring over a lot more, but still limited to twitch emotes.

custom themes should be a free feature
it's already done with a custom client (the same client within electron with userstyles), or userstyles within the browser application... or if you're not lazy, just add a style sheet though the dev console (ctrl+shift+j)
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;51572835]id like nitro to bring some benefits to server owners like maybe custom themes or MOTDs or something that'll be handy[/QUOTE]
Server customization is something that is really lacking, the channel i administrate is Discord Partner and even then you only get 3-4 extra customization options
