    Would anyone think Discord would be useful for a group like UFP? Since it can have multiple different chat room, Voice chat channels and ranking things, along with the fact it doesn't have adverts like Skype....

    We already use TeamSpeak 3 which is similar to Discord when it comes to functionality.

    Here's a handy thingy thread to help set up TeamSpeak 3.

    Discord is VERY useful, you can run it from your browser, mobile app, and desktop app.

    Teamspeak also has a mobile app, and one things I see Ts3 have over Discord is a file browser which is nice, Does Discord have that?

    When you log on Ts3, right click on the channels for the file browser, needed files in certain channel for stuff that can be downloaded. I don't think Discord has this do they?

    I actually love Discord. I integrated it into a game I was playing by using their API. Now I do love TS3 but I feel that Discord is it's more updated, and seems to be together.
    Can't go wrong with old that's for sure but at the same time you can't go wrong with new either.

    To be clear as well you can submit file and download them through Discord.

    But like I said before you can't go wrong with old Smile

    It has a functionality like the file browser where one person can upload something and multiple people can download it.

    But... since Discord hosts the server for you the file size is limited severely to 8MB, it also gives them complete control to collect whatever data and statistics they want and share it with 3rd parties as explained in their Terms of Service.

    TeamSpeak 3 can run on a dedicated server where you have complete control yourself.

    While I know I am late to this conversation, I think the foundation built for the UFP on their TS3 server is quite strong, and that moving at this time is not a needed thing. However, UFP is the only group that I use TS3 for comms anymore, All my other groups have switched to Discord. I will also say that I greatly enjoy how Discord can be used on anything, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, and even web browsers. It makes staying connected to my groups much easier than before, and I am more engaged in those communities, as I never miss an announcement. Like I said from the beginning though, UFP has a good foundation in the TS3 servers, so why jump ship?

    When you log on Ts3, right click on the channels for the file browser, needed files in certain channel for stuff that can be downloaded. I don't think Discord has this do they?
    Actually you can upload files to discord and pin the post, which everyone that is allowed can see. So yea it's possible.

    But is it one central file storage or per channel? Since TeamSpeak is per channel and you can set individual permissions per channel.

    Either way it's a moot point, since the UFP will continue to use TeamSpeak for it's better security and better audio codecs, everything sounds so much cleaner on TS! It's a discussion that has been raised, Lazereth, who helps maintain our TS server has weighed the pros and cons to running TS over Discord. I'll see if I can get him to post his reasons, but I was v happy enough with his reasons to go on his recommendation.

    Although I won't rule out a UFP Discord being set up one day to add choice to users.

    Its per channel. When you pin stuff, you only pin it on that particular channel.
