A Form of Keeping In Touch Should H.A. Go Down.

Hey guys. People I tagged here are people I respect and know the most from the forum. I do like other members but I don't interact with them as often as you or know them as well.
WilliamSmith mentioned an alternative method of keeping in touch should Happierabroad go down possibly on a permanent basis. I had an idea of creating our own little Happierabroad WhatsApp group, our home away from home kind of thing. Then we can have discussions and debates or just general chat when the forum is down and a means to keep in touch if the forum ever goes down permanently.
So what do you think? Are any of you interested? Does anyone have any alternative ideas? If anyone else on the forum reads this and would like to join just comment in here and if it happens we can add you too.

I don’t have a WhatsApp but I do have Discord and am quite active on it. Tsar and I talk through Discord a lot so I know he has it too.

I'm not familiar with Discord. Can you create private groups on there? I'd be willing to download it like if that's how people want to keep in touch.Outcast9428 wrote: ↑October 24th, 2022, 11:40 pmI don’t have a WhatsApp but I do have Discord and am quite active on it.

Oh yeah, creating private groups is precisely what it was meant for. You create servers and add people to them and everybody has a text box and you can even create different channels for different topics of discussion.Pixel--Dude wrote: ↑October 24th, 2022, 11:47 pmI'm not familiar with Discord.

It also has a Private Message feature. YouTube videos, news articles, and links are auto-previewed.Outcast9428 wrote: ↑October 24th, 2022, 11:54 pmOh yeah, creating private groups is precisely what it was meant for.

Re: A Form of Keeping In Touch Should H.A. Go Down.
I should really figure out Discord. There is a HA Whatsapp already but there's not much posting and great leader doesn't often grace us with his presence.
I was Happier Abroad for a while but Covid killed that off.

On the one hand, I'd like that. On the other hand, I value my anonymity. I let loose with my opinions here from time to time in ways I don't on other forums, though I express a lot of ideas that are unpopular with some in other venues. I don't want to get 'cancelled' by my employer, especially if it is not over an opinion worth getting cancelled over.

If we sort something out you're welcome to join us if you like. We haven't got anything sorted as of yet though.
Well it's up to you, MrMan. The forum goes down often enough and it would be a way to keep in touch should the forum close permanently. Neither myself or Lucas88 would ever expose your identity or posts to any employer or whatever, we respect privacy and I for one enjoy our debates MrMan. If we get something sorted let me know if you would like to join us. The choice is entirely up to you.MrMan wrote: ↑October 27th, 2022, 8:20 amOn the one hand, I'd like that.

Re: A Form of Keeping In Touch Should H.A. Go Down.
Are you referring to Discord? I'm assuming you can make an account under your pseudonym "MrMan" for the purpose of anonymity. But @Tsar and @Outcast9428 will know much more about Discord than I do. It's a platform I've never used. A H.A. WhatsApp group however, would require your phone number which would be shared among the other members of the group.MrMan wrote: ↑October 29th, 2022, 8:17 amCan one join anonymously?Pixel--Dude wrote: ↑October 27th, 2022, 8:50 amIf we sort something out you're welcome to join us if you like.

What do you guys say @Lucas88 & @WilliamSmith? You guys willing to download Discord on your phones or computers so we can make this group? Will be handy for when the forum has those pesky errors.

Re: A Form of Keeping In Touch Should H.A. Go Down.
I probably wouldn't do W/A. We used to have some rather aggressive type people on the forum, who I wouldn't want to have my phone number. I'd rather participate in an another anonymous forum that has no long T&C or privacy policy.
But Winston also has us here in his forum, where he met, and if I were him, I wouldn't want all my members to organize and go off on another forum. This forum will probably still stick around as long as he is alive and healthy and doesn't decide to swear off technology for some reason. It goes down for repairs from time to time.

Yes, Discord is anonymous. You don't need a phone number or anything to sign up. You can create an anonymous email if you want to avoid using your main email.MrMan wrote: ↑October 29th, 2022, 8:17 amCan one join anonymously?Pixel--Dude wrote: ↑October 27th, 2022, 8:50 amIf we sort something out you're welcome to join us if you like.
