Agreed. Discord is really good for forums and things. The bvarc server does not 
see much activity...

Howard,

There IS a Windows program you can download, you can also access it via a web 
browser (e.g. Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox). Whatever is best for you. 
Just go to Discord.com

Eric and all else interested in our Discord,

The BVARC Discord is used for a few different things. First let me explain the 
format. We have several different "Channels" which are essentially chatrooms 
specialized to different topics. Some of those channels include: "General" for 
general conversation among our members, "local-nets" for discussion or follow 
up on our nets, "equipment-sales" for posting equipment for sale and to ask if 
anyone has a particular item, "parks-on-the-air" for discussion about POTA and 
about our monthly POTA events. Discord is generally accessed via the "Discord" 
app, but can also be accessed via the Windows or Mac program available on their 
website Discord.com, or directly in your computer browser.

To join our Discord "Server", first download the app from your app store. 
Create an account (you can use our format "Name - Call Sign", or use any 
username you want and just let me know when you first logon by posting a 
message with your name and call sign and I will change it for our server so 
everyone knows who you are. Once you have the app installed and an account 
created, follow this link on your phone 
(or computer if you are logged in via the PC or Mac program).

That link again is: https://discord.com/invite/kwVGeXM7UH

That's about it. I will see what I can do to get the word out. BVARC has lots 
and lots of events coming up, so everyone stay tuned on all our platforms 
(Facebook group, email reflector, and Discord). BVARC POTA on March 26th at 
Galveston Island State Park is a big one coming up!

Thanks and 73!

Re: [BVARC] forum

[mark janzer via BVARC]

 As an example of organizing a specific thread for discussion and planning, 
I've created an MSWE thread under the club-events topic.

Eric and all else interested in our Discord,
The BVARC Discord is used for a few different things. First let me explain the 
format. We have several different "Channels" which are essentially chatrooms 
specialized to different topics. Some of those channels include: "General" for 
general conversation among our members, "local-nets" for discussion or follow 
up on our nets, "equipment-sales" for posting equipment for sale and to ask if 
anyone has a particular item, "parks-on-the-air" for discussion about POTA and 
about our monthly POTA events. Discord is generally accessed via the "Discord" 
app, but can also be accessed via the Windows or Mac program available on their 
website Discord.com, or directly in your computer browser.
To join our Discord "Server", first download the app from your app store. 
Create an account (you can use our format "Name - Call Sign", or use any 
username you want and just let me know when you first logon by posting a 
message with your name and call sign and I will change it for our server so 
everyone knows who you are. Once you have the app installed and an account 
created, follow this link on your phone (or computer if you are logged in via 
the PC or Mac program).
That link again is: https://discord.com/invite/kwVGeXM7UH
That's about it. I will see what I can do to get the word out. BVARC has lots 
and lots of events coming up, so everyone stay tuned on all our platforms 
(Facebook group, email reflector, and Discord). BVARC POTA on March 26th at 
Galveston Island State Park is a big one coming up!
Thanks and 73!
