So we've got a few people in the chat. There'll probably be more moderators (who will probably be moderators from this forum too) once there's more people. For now though, if you'd like an invite to the NTWF server, any of the members of the current Discord chat can invite you, so you can PM me or someone else you know is on Discord. ^^
There are a few things I had to learn, though, so some quick and simple things about Discord.
-At the rightmost end of each of your messages is a hover-able button with 3 vertical dots. Click on it, and you'll have the option to edit or delete your post.
-If your message showed up in all red, that means your message didn't send. You can retry sending the message through the same three vertical dots. If you do that, it'll show up as the latest message, not where you tried to send the message.
-Due to the nature of discord, unless you're in a specific group and can thus distinguish between who is invited, everyone on the server can be automatically added to a chat. Worry not! You can ignore notifications from it by right-clicking the channel and selecting "Mute".
-Within the server, mods can access every channel regardless of permissions.
-However, you do not need to work within the channel to have private chats with other people or private group chats between, say, 3+ people. These private group chats aren't part of the server. You can start doing this by clicking on the tab for Direct Messages. This is an account-specific place where you can private chat friends and create private group chats.
-Emojis can be disabled through settings; it's the gear at the bottom of the taskbar near where your picture is.
-Quotes do not seem to be a thing. =(
-But you can tag people! It functions much like how it works on the forum.
-You can mute channels to not receive notifications. If you wish to not see a channel at all, first mute the channels in question, then right-click anywhere in the blank space below the channels and check "Hide Muted Channels."
-For the NTWF server, please at least don't hide Announcements. It's not only an AFK channel, but it's also used for important information about NTWF-server stuff and polls, and they should not be missed if you're a member of the server.
-We also experimented with text modifications! Here's what we found:
Asterisks (*)

Input: Output:

Underlines (_)

Tildes (~)

Backslashes (\)
Backslashes can be used at any point in the message to keep text modifications from taking effect.
Example message:

If there's more, let me know and I'll edit them into this post. ...Although if you're a mod, feel free to edit them yourself. Same goes for other Discord tidbits in this list. ^^
Also, as a general note, for the NTWF server, we really only want NTWFers on it, so please don't give the invite link to someone who is not an NTWFer.
