Retire the duc and start a Discord or slack

[huzzam]

Oh god please no. Discord and Slack have no permanence and no reference utility. If I have a question about, say, low latency monitoring, i can search the DUC and find many discussions about it.


On Discord, I have to ask again, and someone has to answer again. Then two days later, the same discussion.



On DUC, I can scroll through the last few topics to see what might be interesting, or what i can help with. On Discord, I miss something, it's essentially gone, and I won't be chiming in to help, nor able to learn myself.


Wrong tools for the job. A user support forum requires persistence, search, and the ability to separate topics.

It's been working for me for years. When I was a newbie I would read it for hours to get valuable info. It's my favorite forum. has been for years

I agree, it’s a source of invaluable information.
Has been for years.
My legacy adventures started with:
Pro Tools III NuBus,
Pro Tools III PCI,
Pro Tools Mix 24,
And now Pro Tools HD Accel.
All of which would have been almost impossible if it weren’t for the DUC.

Worth mentioning, the DUC dinosaur has been proudly ad-free since 1998.

I totally get where you're coming from using platforms like Discord or Slack can feel way more modern and user-friendly compared to older tools. They definitely offer better real-time communication and are great for community engagement. Plus, they have plenty of integrations to make things even smoother.

Switching to something like Slack could really revitalize interactions. If the team decides to go that route, I’ve seen some ways to get a Slack discount, which might help with costs.
