I'm not sure if the feature of more real-time conversation on Discord would be of much if any benefit to me. Since I am at +10 GMT most of the conversation on cctalk already happens during the small hours here, so in the morning I have the bulk of the day's worth of US/Europe timezoned postings to browse through with questions posed and already answered in numerous followups (and 'For Sale' items well and truly snapped up :) If I was on after midnight local time, I guess it might be useful and I should take a look at it, but so far I'm pretty happy with cctalk as it is now.
