    With so many people now working from home or in self isolation or just not going out as much - I thought I would bring forward my plans to relaunch our chatroom as a place for PropertyChat members to talk about life or investing and generally just hang out together.

    Previously we used an IRC channel, but the lack of moderation capabilities and mobile-friendly UI was a big limitation, so we stopped using it.

    Instead, I have implemented a Discord server which gives us rich text chat capabilities with the ability to moderate users and maintain a chat room in line with our general forum rules.

    Once I get the forum software upgrade completed, there will be much tighter integration between the forum and the chatroom - including the ability to request and grant access automatically, which will make things easier for everyone.

    For now though, I will manage things manually so please use this link to gain access to the chatroom: Join the PropertyChat Discord Server! (note: expires after 24 hours)

    Please use your forum username as your Discord nickname to make it easier for everyone to identify you.

    Remember: forum rules apply, so please behave.

    Hi Simon. Do I have to google discord privacy or have you done all this for us? :)

    You should do whatever you feel is necessary before you use any system or service.

    The use of Discord is not necessary to enjoy the PropertyChat forums. If you want to join the PropertyChat Discord chatroom, check out their privacy policy and make your own decision.

    Note that I am running the chatroom as a "private" server - which means that only PropertyChat members will be able to access it. That doesn't mean much though, since pretty much anyone can join PropertyChat :p

    This is like a Harvey Norman sale. Biggest ever daily sale! And then there's another one the next day.

    If anyone else would like access to the Discord chatroom, please sent me a private message and I'll generate an invite link for you.

    Eventually this will be automated - yay!

    Bumping this thread to remind people that we do have a (text-based) chatroom you can come and hang out in.

    If you're stuck working from home and lacking in social interaction - or just want someone to share the pain of lockdown with - or someome to share a great cat video you've discovered - or want to hang out with other like-minded people ... come and join us in the chatroom!

    Invite link (valid for the next 7 days): Join the PropertyChat Discord Server!

    Does discord need a new user account or can it be logged in using a google account or similar?

    Separate user account. I don't think it has Google login integration yet.

    You can make a discord link that doesn't expire.
