Hiya, fellow Daz'ers!
I've started a Discord channel for everything DAZ and art related.
The idea is to just chat with others using DAZ or ralated, either as company while working, or for sharing your experience with others.
For you who don't know what Discord is, it is a voice chat program that is primaly used for gamers to speak while playing games.
It has possibillities to create rooms whithin the channel to separate topics and the like and also has the possibility to show pictures in the text chat.
I thought it was a rather cool idea, let's see how it goes!
If noone is in the chat, just wait or try later. The more the merrier!
Welcome!

I usually use Discord as a text chat program and I’ll be happy to continue doing so....
but that invitation seems to have expired.
Try this one:
https://discord.gg/GCaAbCc
can I get a invite please.
The invite is expired
Can you send me a link too?
Yeah all of the links has expried.
Could you please send me a invite, or post a new one for the people here
Boy, they expire quickly. I've created an account there but never used it - can someone briefly explain what Discord is? I find it confusing to navigate.
What exactly is Discord? I heard of it but never knew what it was.
It's a chatroom and voice chat type environment. A lot of MMO use it for voice chat for raids and guild goofing around.
MMO? Raids and guild?
We clearly live in different worlds.
Well Second Life is even a MMO and people plot virtual dance parties no doubt so it’s a pretty broad activity, not just Elder Scrolls Online guilds planning raids.
Yep, different worlds. I'm still on First Life. ;)
OK - my curiosity got the better of me so I searched. All gaming terms and, of course, I'm no gamer - not the slightest interest - so no wonder it meant nothing to me. So if that is the focus of the Discord Channel then it will not be my cup of tea.
It's like the forums here, but more chatty. Imagine all the forum posts as single-line messages, and everything in one topic, everyone talking at the same time, without being able to quote, and not knowing who is replying to whom.
Sounding even less like my cuppa then. :)
And if like a Skype group drift off topic very fast
I enjoyed chatting about 3D and softwares, computers on one but too quickly it became a personality feelings thing and I just couldn’t communicate without upsetting people my fault more than theirs,
I just am not a touchy feely person, I am interested in things and animals, I never had human friends.
they just were no longer interested in 3D either and steering discussions towards that became me posting stuff they were not interested in and was told it was random irrelevant stuff because I was not addressing my issues with them, yet it was actually what I wanted to talk about and sorely missed.
I still find it hard having nobody to discus 3D and modelling with and all the different programs I try as the world is about people, social issues, political stuff, sexual preferences etc and I have nothing to bring to the table on such topics.
It's mostly for real-time chat between friends. It's great when playing a game ("Hey, guys, I'll go left, Bob creates a distraction, the rest of you cover me, and we'll get the treasure by killing the dragon!"). You can also think about it like a CB radio.
OK, I think I get it ... Big Bang Theory stuff? Sheldon would be at home there, right?
It's easy to use, but as @SadKitty_Carrara said, it's hard to talk about Daz 24/7, so things might go offtopic quickly, at which point it's easy to feel like an outsider. But I guess that's a drawback of every real-time group chat.
Discord is used for all kinds of stuff. I've used it mostly for MMORPGs, but there are a lot of Patreon channels, Youtubers channels, etc. It's useful for sharing ideas, images, videos, whatever, and easier than it is here on the forum. People can make private channels for personal conversations or address everybody. In order to correct something that was unclear above, you can easily address comments to specific people, just like we can quote here either inline or in personal messages You can even have a Discord channel for your business, department or family. The first discussion board like this I used was for a game, so it is what you make of it.
I tend to stay away from FB, IG, Snap. etc, but I've belonged to dozens of Discord channels for various things over the years.
I believe we have different definitions for easy. :D
How do you do that? I've not been able to find any info on this, other than the official Discord FAQ saying that this is not possible at this time. There's no quote button, like on forums. I know you can select a part of a message, copy it, then write ``` and paste it to look like it's quoted, but that's nothing like clicking a "Quote" button.
Invite expired
Sharing an image or video is a matter of pasting a link into chat, and you just need to @mention someone and they're notified that a message has been addressed to them inline, or else you can right click their name in the user list and message, mention them, check their profile, friend them, invite to another server, block them, whatever. For a lot of discussions about specific, narrow topics, a discussion board like this works better, but for social chitchat or group discussions or voice chat, Discord is very nicely designed.
It's basically the PC equivalent of like an Xbox or Playstation party chat. There are voice channels and text channels, alowing for real time conversations in whichever medium. As others have said it's mainly for games, but it's also a very good way to comunicate with out need for games, link websites, post images, videos, pretty much anything. As Sevrin said you can mention someone with the "@" symbol and they'll get a notification which they can jump right to to see. Discord is great, and a new invite would be sweet!
Sounds like fun to me. The forums sometimes seem so....quiet..LOL.
Same here, but I also include Discord to the list as it has safety, privacy and security issues like any other social media app.
tell me about it, links shared in Skype often bypassed my Antivirus, I suspect Discord ones would too
All of these you can do on a forum, too. You can even quote, like we are doing now, so everyone knows what we're replying to. This you can't do on Discord. You either respond immediately, or you need to type a whole bunch of extra words, such as "Remember, when last night you said X? Well, my response to that is Z."
I wouldn't be able to discuss anything meaningful this way.
For social chitchat, absolutely. I use Discord myself with a very limited group of people. But I can't imagine talking about Daz Studio there. Which is why I would have been interested to see what this Daz discord channel looks like, but for some reason, only the 24h invites were posted, not the infinite invites, so just like with the chats: you either responded immediately, or you missed out. :(
You can select don't expire when you make the invite. Make several rooms for topics of typing or voice so some can text chat.
Wait! I got a discord app, but it is off loaded which should mean I have not used it in a while (or ever?)
