Tree Climbing Discord Server

I read a tiny bit about discord

I’m gathering that this is another social media format. Correct me if I’m wrong

My immmediate reaction is to have you explain, like we asked

Then, if I’m close to right ask you why you should be allowed permission to syphon traffic away from what Mark, myself and the rest of the Treebuzz community has built in 16 years. Sure seems impolite

I sometimes hold off on posting on the TreeBuzz forum at 3:30 in the morning because I worry that other forum members will think that I don't have a life outside of this forum.

It's true that I don't have a life outside of this forum; I just don't want people thinking that.
 
@SRTRAD; My post above was something of a joke, probably stolen in a sideways fashion from the movie "Animal House". At one point a frat guy was talking about how some mean guys on campus were abusing their pledges, he says "They can't treat our pledges like that! Only we can treat our pledges like that!"

If you've never seen the film, it is a must-see to add to your list.

My kids use Discord all the time to video chat with their long distance friends while gaming. I had them make me an account so we can stay in touch while I'm on the road, we only tried it once and I found the experience clunky and only slightly more complicated than the Skype accounts we used to use. We've agreed to stick to phone calls and texts - way simpler.

Maybe it's a generation gap issue, maybe I've suddenly become one of those "old dogs" who can't learn new tricks, but honestly I don't have room in my life for yet another account to keep track of.

I feel like as a society we have a sort of blood lust to develop new technology at a faster and faster pace. New tech that replaces the old, but doesn't really improve the experience or our daily lives. I hope we don't forget a time when we all got by with just a phone attached to a wall - we had three way and conference calling in the 80s. We wrote letters by hand and bought stamps with pocket change from the actual mailman. We could send physical photos through the mail that we had developed from 110 and 35mm film. To talk to people in person we went to actually visit them. We paid all our bills with paper checks and we got paid by paper check which we then physically brought to our banks to get cashed. For news we bought a newspaper or tuned in a radio or waited for nightly news to come on the TV. We successfully used paper maps and verbal directions to find our way around. For research we went to libraries filled to the ceiling with paper books....

.., all this might sound old and antiquated but our quality of life was not any worse, maybe better. Even with all this new tech in my life I'm certain I'm not any richer or smarter or a better person than I was without it. In the future we'll probably have hologram messaging like in Star Wars but nothing beats a real face to face encounter with a real human being.

So @SRTRAD welcome to Treebuzz. Feel free to read and join the conversation in a constructive manner, if you'd like a personal phone call PM me your number and we can chat, but I'm sorry I don't really have extra time to allocate for another online account.

Could you be a long lost relative? It is a relief to see I am not alone.
