I agree with A.P.S.'s statement that it defeats the purpose of the game if you're just going to role-play on Discord or any other platform.
Personally I don't think the Discord Servers board should have even been created in the first place because it distracts away from the game and the social side of it too. For example, Feral Heart never decided to have their own server because of this very reason, but it's still happening anyhow. FH has many reasons for people not being active in-game and social anymore and how easy FH have made it to advertise Discord Servers is one of these reasons.
There is a Discord Servers Hub board on the forums where people are free to advertise their discord servers, roleplay based or not. I feel as though putting a discord only roleplay board is unnecessary and, as others have been saying, would take away from the game itself.

I agree with this. I get why some of the former staff decided to create the board though since a number of users have moved off to Discords, they had their own Discords, and some users requested for a Discord based board. Originally we never made a Discord specific board for the same reasons that we never created an Official FH Discord. The game has already been going pretty dead in the chats and part of this is to blame on the Discord usage for socializing and roleplaying. While Discord has its advantages no doubt it is also just hastening the speed at which things are going downward with the game activity. There are less roleplays out there that aren’t Discord based now, and the users who are in game are often already afk if not chatting on the Discords. Discord usage also affects the forum traffic since people now are mostly getting their FH news, updates, and even discussions from Discords rather than visiting the site themselves. By keeping up these Discord specific boards it only further promotes Discord usage and steers more users away from sticking around on the forum and game itself.
