Social Media for WIPTAE?

[ETF]

Is there a Teamspeak or Discord for WITPAE. Would be fun to talk about the game and or issues. Just curious.....

[ETF]

I take it as a no?

[LargeSlowTarget]

LOL! Well, most probably the mass of AE players are old far... I mean old school and only know about classic turn-based games and PBEM but have never heard or cared about this new-fangled "teamspeak" and "Discord" stuff of the FPS / social media hipsters [;)]

[Anachro]

There is one I think (forgot who hosts it or knows the actual links, but it's been mentioned before), but not sure how active it'd be. This community is made up of mostly 45+ y.o. individuals who have never heard of Discord. That's not a disparaging comment, it's a fact. [:)] XTRG does youtube streams of his WitP matches.

Yes, there's a Discord channel for WiTP:AE. Sardaukar and I are occasional contributors, but I'm not a huge fan of Discord's organizational flow-channels tend to get clogged with gobbledegook and are impossible to search for different threads or contiguous discussions.

Here's the site:

PM Telemecus to send you an invite.

Yes, I think you are right Chickenboy.

We oldies navigated our way through the 90s and are used to our chatter being organized phpb style in some sort of logical sequence.

@ETF - can you set up one of the newer style interaction sites in a way that will allow not only a good search function, nut also a logical, rather than a Joycean flow model?

We don't need social media, we have WitP AE.

And this forum to organize our insults and kudos on! [:'(]

[HansBolter]

This Forum IS our social medium.

Thought that would have been obvious......

[Ian R]

Squint and you will see it from the corner of your eye Hans.

(We agree)

[ETF]

I'm game. How much postage does it take to mail the checkerboard? It could start to add up in a long game.

Some of you fellas are in this Facebook group for computer wargames. Although not AE-specific, there are some discussions on AE as well as other games.

Most "youngsters" have abandoned Facebook because it is now mainly populated and used by "boomers".
