ForumFrame vs Discord.
when chat isn’t enough
Discord is great for hanging out in real time. ForumFrame is what you reach for when the community deserves a searchable record — permalinks, full-text search, custom domain, real roles.

Discord wins on real-time voice and presence. ForumFrame doesn’t replace your Discord; it replaces the threaded conversation parts. Keep Discord for hanging out, move the long threads here.
