We'll probably migrate again at some point, until we actually can find or make one suitable for everyone.

We probably won't migrate, you're talking out of your ♥♥♥. Until discord gets some major problem in the future that changes everything, this is our place to stay.
39ish people have joined the chat and chatted normally and changed their avatar. It's functional for them.

Just saying, we've gone from Ajax to Suyo's javascript, then to the IRC. Then we tried Skype, but people wanted to go back to IRC. Then we tried to run our own IRC but it raised hell, so we went back. Now we're on Discord.

I'm talking primarily based by what we've done before, not because I don't like Discord. I do like how it is managed, but because it cannot be applied onsite, and requires users to migrate elsewhere(and when you have people who have Ven's issue), it still has its flaws.

Out of curiosity, what is my issue? The only big thing I can think of is the lack of mobile app on my phone but honestly I didn't use it super often even on IRC, so it's still pretty minor. All my other issues are super small things I fully expect Discord to implement eventually.

[Kimonio]

Yeah, that was it. I thought it was something about reconnecting over and over if you left it, actually. (You can get android apps on blackberry btw)

Actually, if Discord has an API, then we could do something more with it past plugins.

Edit: Plug for the chat page maybe?

[Venexis]

I can run Android apps on BlackBerry, yeah, but I'd need to rip it from somewhere, since it's not offered on any of the BB store apps. Not sure how illegal that is, and last time I tried there was some Android ID stuff, so I'm thinking I'd probably need a cracked version till someone officially releases it.

Anyway, it's really not an issue. It'd be nice, but I hear a lot of people are having issues with the Discord mobile app even running it natively on Android/iOS. Not to mention I only joined IRC once a week (maybe) with my phone. Honestly on my scale of priorities, getting stuff like resizeable channel and user menus are far higher, and I'm really not too bothered about that either, since Discord seems to be pretty 11/10 when it comes to checking user feedback.

That being said there is an official API planned, and a ton of unofficial ones currently.

Entering the Konami code adds settings for the experimental in-game overlay in case you were someone like me who was interested in that.
I think it's only for the downloable version.

Entering the Konami code...

Which is Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start/Enter for the curious, it gives you an Overlay tab in your settings menu if it worked. The chat entry box needs to be defocused

I've always been wondering about the "afk" status (yellow dot) ... is there any way to mark you as afk or you only appear to others as afk after a while and never to yourself?
