Because it's the "we hate Discord" thread now ;)

Dave needs to update the title to avoid confusing the uninitiated.

No we don't hate Discord at all as a platform it is is fine for linear topics or casual banter and is just not suited as a forum substitute for the type of varied content we get here.

In spite of the TEA thread being a ramble at the best of times the associated once a week Discord audio/typed chat session adds to it and if I could be bothered getting out of Bed early Sunday mornings local I would join in  ;)

The page number is arbitrary though, depending on the number of posts per page you set. The default of 40 is pretty silly for being able to quickly jump to a specific post - 25 or 50 would have been better.

However, in this forum there's an "All" selector which loads all messages in a thread fairly quickly after which movement generates no further traffic. I'd put money on the bet that the initial delay generating the page is less than the time Discourse wastes reloading the page every few seconds.
