Request For: Pro and College All Sports
Request Title: Discord Server
Description
Many games now have their own Discord Server. For those unfamiliar, it is a phone/web app that allows for real time chat and private messaging. Everything is archived as well.
This would allow for easier trade negotiation in all leagues. This would allow for more general in-season chatter in all leagues. Also, people could check out chatter in other leagues which might allow for more people to join multiple leagues.
I see this as replacing the message boards, which are not as active as they used to be.

Admin Notes
I'd certainly support this as an alternative to the chat feature. One catch is that Discord wouldn't link to DEL accounts, so there wouldn't be ties to your DEL login and teams. That said, we could very easily repurpose the old AOL IM field that I can't imagine anyone still uses, so that at least the coach lists could include some reference to discord.
I know Greg had prototyped a Discord server some time ago, so would encourage folks to reach out if they wanted to help set it up.

Anything to get more chatter if easy to incorporate.

Don't know if you need to replace the message boards with this but could add it to help.
Bump....this could maybe help retention!

Seems to me this may increase coach involvement in the league so I’d support this proposal.
Gregor Ellis (Sep 15 14:24:10 2025

After realizing that this might be the only way to get a forum running again without recoding the site for mobile compatibility I now support this
- I tried to get one up before last season but was trying to let us use our DEL emails and had problems with making that work. I also had some issues with my basically atrophied tech skills so if anyone wants to look at the server I set up and see if we can get it up and running then please email me directly.
