Before I start my opinion, i just wanna say that please respect the person who open the Hive Discord Channel and also respect the person who created Hive Chat.

Let get right into it

I see like some off rumor that Hive Chat is about to be replaced by Discord. Which i thought was bullshit since you can't just throw it away for saying like: " Too empty,... Feel like ghosttown or other excuse that related base on how many people in there.

Remind me that not all everybody have a same time zone okay ? All of Hivers are like from around the damn world (Mostly I saw Serbians more than other). You can't expect any time that start to feel active. Hive chat is put as a tab option, you must be lucky to see it since if you put lower than that, The Chat might be not interesting.

The Chat was made in the site, not from some company just rolling those money and they just don't give a middle finger. If you made this, you would have taking suggestion and put on it.

I just gotta answer some comment from Rheiko Post
I chose hive chat because it doesn't track my location, as far as I know, and it brings more traffic to the hive and helps their advertising.
Which is saying that Discord can doxxed him ? Also I kinda agree on that one.
I personally prefer Hive Chat because I'm kinda used to the vibe there and many things happened there in the past.
Plus, it links to the user's profile so I can check out the ones i'm chatting with right way and everyone there is definitely members of the Hive.

The only downside is it doesn't keep the chat history so as soon as you get disconnected, everything disappears and you miss some of messages. But I can live with that-
Now that depending on how long you were here ? I was join as a Hive member almost like an year (My account was made in May i guess)
Yes, since discord can actually contain a non-hive member. Even they verified it, you can't guaranteed that a Hive member. Hive can bans a member or stop them from making another account. Discord you can ban them but can't do the other one.
Yeah but this make you have a certain privacy that nobody reading your awkward moments (Not the worst thing happen). Discord allow you to read it but also some cringe worthly... well ether that i still credit for allowing * laugh * me reading those Icoria message

Hive Chat because @San.

Once Discord has replaced Hive Chat entirely (it already has for the most part since now no one bothers going to Hive Chat anymore), there'll be no more San.
That'll be some shitty day.
.....*kneel down to Shar* I also sad when no more San, he is like a cool brother as well.
Hive chat gives chat color and rank icon though ;)
Agree since JASON DON'T GIVE A ****!!!!!!!
Okay... XD sorry
I am traditional! Hive chat. it had good old days. Screw Discord
:cgrin:
Goodness me! Thank you @Rheiko, I had no idea there was a chat in the Hive. Yeah, and there's a "Chat" button clearly visible... Something must be wrong with me ahah.

Anyway, even though my experience in using Hive chat goes back to about 10 minutes, I prefer Hive chat rather than Discord. It's more convenient and handy to use the same site to get in touch with the same community. Just my two cents!
How could you!! XD Nah just kidding, that fine.
You're right Sieben, i save my self one * laugh * tab in damn chrome and one account.

Well, that was answer some comment in that post. Now let me said:
I am team Hive Chat, not quite a fan of Discord due to hatred on Jason Citron (Creator of Discord). His program was okay but YOU (Ralle) could make better than him. What the point of it, feel like Discord is now a center for chatting outside game and you followed him. Now I am not forcing you for like wanting Hive Chat gone active better than Discord. That just a two type in the world:

Classic and Modern.

Now i should stop type here.. a part two gotta be salty
