Brad Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 With the forum's chat function not working at the moment and the webcasts possibly not happening this year, I created a GottaDEAL server on Discord for us to chat about Black Friday or whatever else. Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/3hd2K5t For those who are unfamiliar with Discord, it is a free text, voice and video chat service. You can access it via their apps or through a traditional web browser. Once you sign up for an account you can join the GD server using the special invite link above and can chat with everyone else who has signed up. One advantage of using Discord over the old forum chat function is that you can view past conversation in the channels and not just what is happening while you are there so can come and go without missing anything. Currently there is a #general channel for more off-topic chat and a #blackfriday channel for discussing Black Friday. If we need to create additional channels we can do that at a later time but this is a good start. We've already got a dozen or so people who have joined and I'll be posting about it elsewhere but I wanted to make a dedicated thread so more people see it.
riven3d Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 feel free to ask questions on the discord chat, im usually always around, it will bleep at me when somebody says something. 1
Bopeep Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I'd never heard of Discord. But I've signed up and it looks like it might be fun . Also downloaded the app to my phone. You can never get away from me now. 1
stationchief Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 I'll log in and hang around our Discord chatroom throughout the day. Arizona time, of course. Anyone needs me just give a shout. 1
Brad Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 Thanks to everyone who signed up so far. We'll have a t-shirt or gift card contest on there when we get a few more people. 1

Kanyon71 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I heard there is supposed to be some new Ghost Busters game that uses VR like Pokemon Go.

Midnight55 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Brad are you going to post Rite Aid Black Friday ad
riven3d Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Brad are you going to post Rite Aid Black Friday ad its been posted on the site, the scan is in horrible shape so just no post has been made until a better scan can be uploaded
jaymacfla Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 That ad looks like the other site gave it the measles!
Tigger97498 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I keep getting an error that I have to claim an account first and when i put my email in it says that emails already claimed a discord account so I have no way to use discord. Hope you guyave fun this year will miss the webcasts!
Bopeep Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I keep getting an error that I have to claim an account first and when i put my email in it says that emails already claimed a discord account so I have no way to use discord. Hope you guyave fun this year will miss the webcasts!About 10 minutes before you posted here (according to the time stamps), a notice came up in Discord that you had joined. Were you able to get in? If not, maybe try a "forgot password" or something with your email address?
stationchief Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Tomorrow we'll be looking into video chat or at least screen sharing so we can show the best deals in the ads while yapping with all you GD-ers. 1
jaymacfla Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Exciting to have some ads to talk about! Be sure to pick up a microphone or use the feature from the webcam to talk to the moderators live in the voice channel
Brad Posted November 3, 2018 Author Posted November 3, 2018 FYI I'm giving away a $15 Amazon gift card on the Discord server. Check out the #contest channel. 2
jaymacfla Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 I will be on Discord tonight so if you have any questions about the major ads or would just like to chat pull up a microphone and join us tonight.
MochasMom Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Is there a certain forum i can go to to see when ads go live? Or even some parts of ads?thanks in advanceBecky
riven3d Posted November 18, 2018 Posted November 18, 2018 Is there a certain forum i can go to to see when ads go live? Or even some parts of ads?thanks in advanceBecky look up at the top of the forums where it says GottaDeal 15 Years.. there are 2 images, 1 talks about Amazon, the other says Online Black Friday Tracker click that one 1
Brad Posted November 23, 2018 Author Posted November 23, 2018 The Discord server has been a great addition to the site this year and we will definitely use it more and integrate it more into the site and forum over the next year. It's not too late to join us if you haven't. We'll also keep it running all year and maybe have some contests on there during the non-BF time of the year. 1
Kanyon71 Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Should start a GottaDeal gaming team so we fit in on discord more lol. 1
Brad Posted November 23, 2018 Author Posted November 23, 2018 Giving away a $11.23 Amazon gift card in the #contest channel on our Discord server if anyone here is interested.
Bopeep Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 I've really enjoyed the Discord server. I wonder though...Do you think it affected the number of posts here on the site? Also, (just because I don't know how it works), does less traffic on the site itself matter in the grand scheme, as long as we use the partner links?
