I think so too. If I were in the Harry Potter universe, I would be a muggle. That's how lucky I am.Tone Bakugo wrote: 12 Jun 2025, 17:43Victoria Lena Jones wrote: 10 Jun 2025, 22:09ReducioMe too.

That is because owls do not permit as fast and instant communication in comparison to discord. Easier management with no need to login to check along with the fact that when there's a dozen or so staff members discussing a topic its easier to cross reference old conversations or precedents. Much harder to do with owls and they would sadly get overcrowded into a mess within the very first day. A 100 or so texts within an hour or two is the lower average of texts one could up with when working on a site team. It'd be too hard having to read 100 owls and crowd up necessary paper trail otherwise.Emily Shephard wrote: 12 Jun 2025, 07:57Aww sweetie!

I was going to apply for Prefect and Mentor, but I can’t because of the Discord. Mentoring people was really what kept me on here for so long, but now I’m kinda just frustrated with a lot of things on here. Especially with the Discord part. I’m worried that the sports teams may eventually have a Discord requirement and that’s going to be terrible for a lot of people if that happens. If Disc becomes a requirement for things like that, I’ll probably just disappear. I’ve been way too stressed about all the changes and everything. That’s one reason why I haven’t been active much the past couple of days. There are also a couple more things frustrating me on here, but I’m not really comfortable sharing them publicly.Emily Shephard wrote: 12 Jun 2025, 06:08Yep. Agreed. I mean, I see why they use it and whatnot but then again... Accessibility poses a problem.Ellie Randensmith wrote: 12 Jun 2025, 04:32 like I get why they block it tho if only you didn't;t have to have it to get roles, but I also get why you need it
Applied for Prefect and Mentor ages ago but they got shot down because I don't use Discord. Bit of a frustration in all honesty.
Communication I can kind of understand. But one thing that baffles me is why not use Owls...? Owls has always worked for me much better than I think Discord ever would. Then again, people have their preferences and that's okay. But depending on who you ask, you're limiting yourself to who can access it and thus their efforts to contribute more to the site in that way. Mentors and staff being examples.
The recent changes are still something I'm getting used to. I reckon it'll be a slow burn to come around eventually, but if people are happy about these changes then I'm happy for them. For me, this isn't the style of RP'ing that I'm used to. Some of the process(es) here are a little foreign to me in some ways still.
But if you change your mind about discord someday, the staff would probably love to have you.
