Friends, As some of you already know, we have decided to migrate away from Chatango as our chat provider. After a successful beta test, I am happy to announce Discord as our new chat provider. Discord offers many benefits, including: - Multiple rooms, like we had in previous providers (before chatango). This allows flexibility for side conversations, or to avoid a particular conversation. - Better moderator controls will allow us to expand the chat moderator pool. Initially, chat mods will be current Role Play Advisors and current or former High Councilors. - Better logs will allow us to go back farther in time to resolve disputes - Discord offers more privacy, so you should not be contacted by random strangers anymore - Eliminate instabilities on the boards caused by the chatango chat tab scripts - A dedicated, free mobile app which provides the same interface as the web version of Discord. Chatango will remain available for the time being. Thank you, ~Whill High Shaman Chill

You all will not be disappointed. Discord is a great program that I'd also advocate as an alternative to Skype. You can even very easily create your own servers on the side if you're so inclined. The devs are also very respondent to their clientele and will answer any questions you may have trouble with. If you have Twitter, I recommend following them. On a side note, if you end up with the light theme and aren't fond of it, there's a dark theme in the settings. There's a gear in the bottom left and in the settings you can turn on a dark theme to make it look nicer.

Looking forward to it! I've been on a few times now, but currently, and for the last 24 hours, my Mac isn't allowing me to connect. I get an invite screen, and when I click 'connect,' I get an 'There is no app to open discord'
So that's a bummer. But it's new. There are bound to be stepping stones to greatness.
When I was there, it looked great and functioned well!
