I think Discord and Forums are so different that they shouldn't be compared. One is a persistently-online discussion platform and one is a live chat platform.

It's like comparing a novel to a newspaper. You can't say one is better than the other because they serve different purposes and are too difficult to compare. Some people read one, some people read both -- just depends on what they like -- and that's all fine. Imho, forums and discord do not compete.

Reddit however is similar enough that it competes directly with traditional forums.

Today is the 20th anniversary of when I started playing RuneScape.

I will not log-in to RuneScape today. But I did pause and reflect. I'm old. :-D Also, RuneScape was a pretty awesome game - way ahead of its time. And it's still going, amazingly!

What I will do, however, and what I've been doing recently whenever I get free time, is to fire up Steam and play online games on AoE:II DE.

Now that's a game I've been playing since 1998! (Age of Empires). I still remember the first time I got the "Demo CD" for the game. I was blown away by the graphics and how polished the game was compared to anything else. The game hasn't changed a whole lot much since in terms of gameplay mechanics. And it was a masterpiece, similar to how RuneScape was.

W13! Dude, I have AOEII Digital edition, we should so play some time! Hit me up on messenger if you get some time over the next few weeks!

I remember getting AOE1 CD in a cereal box, and playing AOE2 at a school fete and loving it! But I was too addicted to RS to really play anything else. I think I can thank the environment you built at RSC for all that. You've had such a huge impact on a lot of people's lives, its crazy to think about it in hindsight. Remember the time I crashed Zybez on Christmas day? Running a bad SQL query... we should have had a read replica ;p haha. The size of our servers for the amount of traffic was insane compared with modern standards too. We did pretty well!!
