@sundancer – I think it’s the immediacy of Discord that puts me off; I like visiting a forum in my own time, reading through to catch up, leaving a post then getting on with the rest of my life. When I get some downtime, I’ll check in and see what other people have to say.

Discord (and similar almost-real-time-chat) seems like such a time drain to me – everything is *so* immediate; you have to give it your full attention all the time – leave a post or a question and it’s drowned out within minutes and everyone has moved on to something else.

@limburger – I think the word blog came from contracting “web logs” (though I may have just made that up).
