FileWave Discord announcement

[Josh Levitsky]

 

An email announcement will follow to spread this more widely, but I wanted to share it here as well.

As 2022 comes to a close, I wanted to share some good news on the development of FileWave communities that began earlier this year. As you know, this FileWave Community Forum launched just a few months ago. It has been well received, and we will continue to support and grow this community. Discord isn't meant to replace Alliance Forums, but instead to give you options to work with us in whatever format you feel most comfortable. 

In addition to the forum, we are excited to announce the launch of our new chat system on Discord. This platform will allow you to engage in real-time text and audio conversations with other customers and participate in talks and discussions about FileWave administration. Think of the voice chat as something like Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse, but specifically tailored to the needs of our FileWave community. You will see a link to it in the navigation bar here as you can see in this image. The email announcement will also have the URL. We just have it in the menu here set for only authenticated users to see it to make it more difficult for a bot to scrape the URL. 

Don't know what Discord is? Discord describes itself this way: "Imagine a place where you can belong to a school club, a gaming group, or a worldwide art community where just you and a handful of friends can spend time together. A place that makes it easy to talk every day and hang out more often." It's very popular as a chat platform and very community driven. 

A pretty quick and easy YouTube video explains how to use Discord: 

 

We hope this new chat system will provide a helpful and interactive platform for you to connect and collaborate. Thank you for your continued support and engagement in the FileWave communities.
