Kongregate has opened a new Discord server, discord.gg/kongregate! There are game-specific channels (including one for Idle Frontier) but also plenty of fun, general-interest channels and more to come. As part of this evolution, this forum will be moved to read-only status on January 20. We hope to see you on Discord!

Okay folks,
I will post the *Weekly Event* post here this week. Discord looks to be a little adjustment for people to get settled but we will get there.
I started a conversation with a moderator. The moderator was nice.
So, keeping the Weekly Event post still here tomorrow for the Weekly Event, **which is Theme Park by the way** (I found out from within the game as the upcoming-Event list has not been updated since last year, and there has been no response to my request for a new event list), and then we will see how quickly we can get settled over there.

Discord is not bad. The problems are manageable with decent moderators and community managers, just kike any other forum or chatroom. Permissions can be used to limit certain things and there are server management bots that can provide higher levels of auto-moderation. Problems that people find on discord are from open servers with no moderation or bots to manage the tide of trolls from the internet.
Anyone can create a Discord server, just like anyone can create a forum or website, so it's easy for there to be open servers with all the terrible things of the internet, but most well managed servers are just as safe as any forum like this one. Just like Kongregate has this forum locked down, they can implement a system that can be relatively safe as well. It's not Discord's fault the Internet is full of malcontent. It's a risk in anything that is connected to the internet.
From the handful of things I've read here and in the Discord server, it seems like everyone is somewhat new to Discord, or at least Discord server management. I imagine there will be some problems at the beginning, but I think Kongregate's community managers will figure out what needs to be put in place to make it a relatively safe server.

Okay, things are falling into position I hope.
Check out my recent posts on the move so I don't bore you with repeating myself here ;-)
