I'm not really on this wiki. I was looking for Cube. I saw this and was interested as I've been working on making this change for the wiki I founded. I'm not voting since I'm not on this wiki. However, I thought I would throw in my thoughts since I"ve already been examining this and suggested it for a wiki where I'm a titleless member. Also, with the new editors you could open chat every Weekend or something to meet new editors or meet them in central and PM them the Discord code.

Pros to Discord

-less glitchy

-access to back chat

-access to PMs when people are offline-a plus when people aren't on much or are in say India and you're in the US

-ability to slice chat into channels for when it's busy

-voice abilities

-lack of chat widget previewing who is inside to anyone even blocked users is more private for people (this is a big one for me as I have a really bad cyberstalker problem with which Wikia staff flat out refused to help)

-protection from raiders, randos and socks because you need a code to get in

-pinning messages from live chat

Cons (and maybe some of this is there and I haven't just figured it out yet)

-learning a new site

-less customization

-no short term bans (I've heard it's permaban, kicks and that's it) would make it hard to discipline people that are basically ok but act up sometimes

-loss of extensive profile attached with a click, though Cube could make a bot where a link to people on here could be stored and retrieved with a command...

-not sure if there's a log to look up who kicks or bans users and could be an issue of power abuses

-less information in general-no tag for joining chat or going off and users show as active when they are active on any discord so they may not be looking at that chat. I haven't found any logs to look at actually.
