I do not enjoy chatting during the game. As I am on the otherside of the pond and the Janet Jackson mandatory 3-5 minute delay, stateside Bearsfans tend to celebrate before we see it. Or scream in agony as it often was with Nagy. Nothing worse then watching a solid drive and then someone posts "Oh know another interception!" Wish it were otherwise. Maybe us non continentals should make our own Discord, so no spoilers.
A new Era begins in the NFC North!

Sadly, it does not involve the Bears.... :frustrated:

It's the same way when those who are watching illegal streams deal with the 2-5 minute delays. I'm not sure what else to do besides create a separate room? We can experiment.

UPDATE: I've added a "no-spoilers-chat" room.

Discord is always open, but it should be lively with representation on draft days, yep.

That could be pretty fun. There will probably be a mix of people losing their shit and people being giddy. It would be nice if the first pick got us all pumped. But, then again, there seems to never be a consensus. At least the Cubs play an afternoon game that day so won't have to have that game on for my father in law.

Just got an email from "DISCORD" to change my user name by March 4th or it will create a unique one for me. Was this sent by the admins on this board or a scam?

I think it might be legit. 6 days ago, Discord updated their username requirements. See this: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/ar ... 20identity

Just to be safe, logging into the app or website (instead of clicking the links in the email) should show you the same message. I would also look at the domain in the from email (the part after the @ symbol). If it's not @discord.com, I would be wary.
