=Starving for gaining likes and dick length competition. We have other places for this crap.

I personally hate continuous loading. It breaks orientation in space.

Yes, and programming in C is considered obsolete. New users want Arduino.

Grow up and learn how to use forums. If you can't, do we really need you here?

And then you get StackOverflow kind of thing where people spew garbage to get points. No thanks. Moderation by human moderators works fine.

That's a massive plus! Imagine when it gets easy to embed the full-size photos in-text. Every thread will end up like Ice-T's buy/sell one where it takes forever to load a page and whilst it's doing that the bloody text is jumping up and down as the photos load (yes, the same big photos that loaded the previous time you looked at the page just a couple of hours ago).

In my opinion, it's not hard enough to embed in-text  >:D

Sounds like "say goodbye to your RAM when you open the TEA thread" :P

But on a sidenote: Yes, the forum software shows it's age, and migration to some more modern software should be considered. Modern software like Xenforo can introduce a lot of new useful features without loosing it's spirit of what a forum actually represents.
But other than that, why would you migrate the forum to discord, of all places?

It's a mature piece of software, gonna be 10yo soon. The architecture is good. It's not going to disappear next week. The UI is customizable. great community support. Ease of install and management. good performance. Written in a solid language. open source. It's considered the de-facto standard nowadays.
