Totally agreed on not wanting to alienate anyone (thus the poll), and on the limitations of chat for long-form (though I don't understand how IRC isn't outright worse than Discord for that...). But we can also regulate how we use those platforms. I personally would use it to ask and answer short questions. If I wanted to say something to every player, or something that involves multiple paragraphs, I would still want to use email. -- nch Prime Minister, Webmastor, NAX Exchange Manager
