General Discussion - 2021

[Skolvikings]

In my humble opinion I am concerned that it may cause division. My group had a few people missing yesterday and when I texted them they told me they had posted on discord. To those posting on this site it just looks like they are MIQ.  It is difficult to see if everyone from a group has posted roll for the day when some are posting there and some here. Just what I have noticed in the last day or so. Thoughts?

I agree Redwood, my group was asking and i told them we would focus on this site as our main accountability, in the mean time have them check out the new site (discord) for a few weeks and we would decide and vote as a unit which site all of us will be on.

Good idea. Thanks for the input.

And it doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both. I personally don't ever see myself stopping posting here on the forums. But Discord provides a platform that may help generate more conversation and foster a brotherhood more than the forums are able to do at this point. At this point try to view them as complimentary vs one trying to overtake/replace the other.

You have that damn wrong, the site is now divided.

I know you Admins and mods put in alot of time we appreciate you all, I dont know what that load entails, already i find it a bit tiresome jumping between the 2, will there be a set of Admins and mods here, and a different set over in Discord?

[walterwhite]

will some things be changed in discord? Im trying to picture how a HOF month will go? will there be a link between the two so you can pull information to the new site easier. or even scrolling on a mobile though all the write up. with added support in the mix, maybe pin it for each day and guide people to how to view pins?

I think we are open to anything.  What we wanted to do was create an place that has everything we need.  Will things be different from a functionality?  Yes.  What will new groups look like and how will they be set up...not exactly sure.  We have to play with it and figure out what is best.  We thought about combining pre groups into one big group.  For reference...my group April 2016 had over 100 quitters join at one point.  I think we had over 70 reach HOF.  These new groups...for whatever reason...aren't big.  They get too isolated and in our opinion would be better served having a bigger group to socialize and form brotherhood.  Accountability comes from caring about your fellow person's quit and they in turn caring about your quit.

I dig it! just have to shut down thread from being created in that area. Be nice to maybe change all pre HOF quitters username a specific color, so they can be identified right off the bat.

that is a great idea!  I'll look into it.

So I have a few questions about this switch and im sure others are wondering the same.

1) will there be any more new groups made up here? I see Jan 22 is mixed in with 2021. We are trying to funnel new quitters to discord.  but we can always change course if needed

2) will this site always be a option to post roll for established groups. yes

3) will any of this History be transported over to Discord , all the HOF Speech's, Intros, Wildcard sections etc...Some...not sure what but I don't think we can port over data from here.  This forum will always be here to view. Also note that the HOF Speech's, WoW, etc are all on the main website as well.

4) seems like a great way to talk to new and old quitters alike but viewing via mobile its hard to tell who is in the group, making it hard to tell if everyone is on roll , I fear Accountability is going to take a huge hit and the strictness and hard nose way of killing this addiction will be dampened.  this will be trial and error.  We need to figure out a way to keep Acccountability going on discord.  There is a way and I'm sure there will be people chomping to figure it out

5) i know change is hard, Im being very open to it and know its a 50/50 split , like to dislike. feel a open discussion will help with the transition and open up understanding.

Keep the questions coming...We are open to ALL ideas and suggestions.
