Uhm MegaGlest has ended up with 2x discord channels now... this one and in topic 9880.0 (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=9880.0).
To be honest, I have to recommend new people come visit people on freenode (http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=megaglest-lobby,megaglest). It's a bit old hat and insecure when compared to discord (although, security is debatable for proprietary software). But, IRC does the job, so why replace it? ;)
I'm not sure why MegaGlest is not popular, but I don't think a discord channel is going to really help improve its popularity significantly.

Try turning your *** brain on then, Discord is used by millions of everyday users, it's easy to install and easy to get invited to, no weird ip-adresses or anything, stop using your "old habit excuse", it's BS. If you want to get MG popular (which is what is needed for it to grow), the more exposure an open source project get's the more attractive it is to new and fresh developers, Stop pretending IRC is the answer to this. It's not casual user friendly, and your attitude to it is getting really annoying. Please take 5 seconds to read the post and think before replying with a reply we all have heard 1000 times before "herp derp, I've used IRC for so long, and I'm used to it so everybody should use it". Did you consider it's easy for people to share screenshots in it?, To share other discord servers when they have more in common with each other. Your mindset is so closed down and it's *** triggering me.
This is just some of the good reasons, and please use 5 seconds before posting a reply because I'm really tired of nonconstructive reply's.
The litterally _only_ thing you point out as valid is that there is 2 discords, But that is more of a management issue wich you could find out who the admins were of the servers fx, but no instead you come here with your *** IRC agenda trying to pitch IRC when clearly most casual people want and already use something better, and this same shit counts for mumble too, Yes it's open source and that's great, It's also *** trash to setup compared to discord.
I'm going to end my post here because I'm getting more mad by the minute.
If any of you reply with a *** emojy im gonna lose my shit.

:O :O :O :O :O
So lose your shit already, please and thank you!
Then proceed to actually bother to set up games and get the ball rolling.
I've been around for about 15months now and there are enough channels (whether IRC or discord or other programs) for each active player to have their own.
We fail to band together and actually meet and keep the fire burning for this game we all claim to love. There is so much of banter and hardly enough people trying to get others online and playing. I think its hard to blame one single person for this issue. The player base is small and barely grows. We all live in different time zones and have a hard time meeting to have any meaningful gaming sessions or tournaments here on MG.
How about you make a difference by repeatedly spamming people on the channels and trying to convince non-English people to play when no one is around?
We will give you a MG merit badge if you try..
:P :P :P

I don't see that Jammy said anything in his reply that deserved anger and personal attacks against him.

Try turning your *** brain on then, [..]
Hey, chill. Be nice, please.

Um... I see that my comment caused quite a fuss. :'(
I'm sorry about how my previous comment was written. It is a bit overly-negative and it does not describe my main concern correctly. I also didn't acknowledge that you were creating another channel for players to find us, which is a good idea. That being said, I would have preferred a civilised chat about this.
My main concern is that I reckon having too many chats split new people up and stop people from meeting in a common chat.
Also, my reasoning for Discord not pulling more players is because it's a chat site, not a completely public social networking site. (It is of course possible that my logic is wrong.)
Anyway, if discord pulls in players then awesome!
Also I won't be discussing this further here.

You should never let other people dictate when and what you want t to discuss!
Everybody is enticed to their own opinion.
Also: Ish, It is my own opinion and belief that you ** and should not be listened to, i will however keep this opinion to myself moving forward, Your post was unnecessary and only served to tense up an already not so relaxed discussion.

I see what you mean, However, you might perceive my post a little more hostile than it actually is(understandable), Try reading it again. I actually made sure to address the points he made.
Obviously(i hope), It's clear i don't mean to attack people themselves, and if it per definition counts as a personal attack I (condition based), apologise to Jammyjamjamman
