airframe/system/loadout? 
For Discord and MP pick-up games, we’re doing ok at about 50 people or so. I think it’s a bit chicken and egg, in that it’s not a habit to go look there. What @Wes was doing with a public event will probably help, in that people looking might go for it.
That and an event is a self contained topic, which the details could easily be lost amidst a general chat.
Forums topics are great for things that users shouldn’t have to search for. Where as discord is great for short-term information that can “expire”, and not bloat an otherwise clean and organized forum post.
Grinder? 
Hey @everyone!
We have gone through and cleaned up the channels in the Discord service to make it a little clearer and neater. The #general channel is intended to allow us to chat and discuss anything not covered by the #flight-line channel, which is where I hope that our flight sim focused discussions can still happen, when they are not properly covered by the forums. To that point, we have collapsed the forum channels here on the Discord service into the #forum-notices channel, where the Discourse bot will let us know of new threads being started on the Mudspike forums - in case you want to receive those notifications via a different medium.
If you have concerns or suggestions, please let us know in the #meta channel on the Mudspike forums themselves.
Honestly hanging in the voice channel is the best way to find people to play with. Anytime I’m looking for multicrew action giggity I always jump in the casual enc- i mean discord voice channel.
Hello, I have signed up for the forum here, and done the discobot tutorial, but am really just trying to find a way to the Mudspike Discord. The sites positive tone toward VTOL VR leaves me hoping I may find some folks to fly with here.
@Sinner6 this is what the first post in this topic starts with. Does it still work?
He’s on the channel now.
Is there a way I can add our server to my already existing discord account or do I have to go through the forums?
The bullhorn symbol at the top is a Discord link. When you click it, it will open the Discord site or app and if you are not logged in yet, you should be asked to login. If you are logged in, Mudspike will be added to your list of servers on that account.
What do you get when clicking that icon?
I was getting prompted to “join discord”. I just signed in on a browser and then clocked through the process ordered. I’m in. Cheers! Name on there is 801simv8r
I cant see the bullhorn on either mobile or desktop. Is this since the Discourse update?
It could be me. (If so, sorry) Recently I’ve complained about being unable to see what I write when creating a thread. I think @fearlessfrog has been tinkering with the options on the bar to clear some real estate for the editing pane.
He he, no probs. Though I think it had disappeared a while back. If someone could post an invite link in a PM for me, that would be amazing.
Thanks matey!
I think it was a while back when I got rid of the icon for Discord, as it was something custom that no longer worked as I was fixing up the site (back when I reenabled email etc).
I’ll put an invite link in our About page or something but it was more only @Fridge (where is he??!!) has moderation powers on it I think. Maybe @BeachAV8R as well but not sure.
Anyway my thinking was that if we don’t really promote it for chatting and any new multiplayer topic we do should throw a short lived link in it if needed for comms.
Edit: one other concern is that public invite links sort of get farmed into compromised/hacked accounts, so the sites get flooded with various image spam posts (send Elon money!! etc) so one advantage of the old icon was it was just for signed in people. So maybe I bring it back hmmm
Edit2: I ended up making the entire Meta category/sub-forum for logged in users only and then updated the first post in this pinned topic with a never expiring discord link. Least effort ftw.
