Why Skype to Discord?
Why did you skip Skype and go on with Discord? Seriously, why?! 23:23, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * There's a bunch of reasons! The ones I can think of right now are:
 * Developed primarily for gaming communities
 * NIWA and several other NIWA wikis already use it
 * No advertisements
 * More control over a server with user roles, channels, bots, etc.
 * So far, I think the switch was a good one. ~Super Hamster  Talk 00:58, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll extend that!
 * Easier joining
 * Does not require all your personal information
 * Browser web-client actually works
 * Large voice chat
 * Push to talk
 * File transfer is quicker
 * Block formatting of text. Skype trims whitespace.
 * Can integrate with other services via bots, e.g. posting of Splatoon rotations or Twitter messages...
 * Rooms are part of a server and keep conversations on topic. Skype requires separate chats, which get lost easily.
 * Discord is lighter on system resources and starts up much more quickly.
 * Has online/offline/idle/streaming. Skype requires you have people in your contacts to see this information.
 * It's free. Skype has a paid plan for better features.
