This isn't an issue for me like i said ages ago.
Whatsapp and Discord do the same thing. Both chat services.
Whatsapp for random crap non-pc stuff I get it. We're a gaming family. We need to use all latest social stuff to reach out to FGers not usually active here. Not just Discord. FB, Insta, the lot.
Also. Totally get:
Console chat - PS4 Party Chat or in-game chat
PC chat - Discord
Either way, if we want FG to grow we need to support the largest growing chat service for gamers.
What I would say that helps the website is Discord has a plugin that we can share 'automatically' threads, videos, events, live streams, etc. So you get notifications. If whatsapp had a plugin I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Last point. I won't ever stop people using whatsapp or discord or whatever chat service they want. Its their life and idc what others use. Use both, use none - Just support FG shit in one way or another is the take away. So much effort goes into thinking how much fun we can have on a daily basis and those others that try should be recognised (and they will in the future).
(P.s. @Diddums no idea why it was stickied, not had chance to keep clean up on subforums).
