Attention, Members
Hey everyone at the Flux! We are going to be relocating our forum! Zetaboards has treated us well over the years, but we've decided that moving to another service is what is best for us now. As members, you are free to begin moving your RPs and whatever else you will want to. If you have questions or need help moving, please reach out to Red November, Shine, or Spire (you can usually find one of us down in the cbox)!
You can find more information HERE
You can find the Flux's new site HERE!

Welcome to the Flux!
We're a single-thread RPG/Creative Writing/Arts/hang out and chat forum! We welcome anything you've got to show us, from arts, crafts, graphics, sprites, to fanfic, original stories, novels, short stories, to RPGs, or if you just want to hang out and chat with us, you're more then welcome. We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.
More of the lurker type? I'm sure you'll find some good browsing material! But please don't be a stranger, head down to find the source of that incessant clicking: The C-box. You're sure to find someone to chat with there!
The Flux was built by a former RPG-community, so expect lots of activity there. However, after we moved on from our last site we decided to expand.
We have a helpful, dedicated staff, ready and willing to answer questions, or offer help with whatever you need, whenever you need it.
So don't be shy, come on in, introduce yourself, and become a part of our laid-back community. But don't forget to look over the rules. |

So there is this app in existence known as Discord. It works as a sort of blend of Skype and other instant message services.
From the site itself:
- Quote:
-
Discord is a free voice and text chat app designed specifically for gaming.
Discord was born out of our own frustrations with the voice and chat tools we all use while playing games. It’s a bit strange that in 2015 most of us are using chat apps that haven’t been updated in years to play games that are updated every week. We deserve better.
Discord brings gaming communication out of the stone age. It's free, easy to use, and with you even while you are AFK.
So anyways, with that said, I'd like to put it up for a vote if The Flux will have its own Discord server for those that want it. If so, a link will be placed below the cbox. If not, then we'll just keep things as is for now.
To have a look, simply click here and it should open the channel on a new tab in your browser.

As I use Discord almost everyday, I voted for Yes. I'm all for this!

I'm not against, not sure if using Discord will render the c-box almost useless, but I'm familiar and happy with the program...

Alrighty. The votes have been in favour of the Discord chat, so, the link has now been added. I guess now we'll see how we go with this new service.

Hm, I like it so far. I wonder, is there a way to do some 'description' for the thread, or make a link back to TF? I am not sure how to check those sorts of things. It could be useful to find some potential new members, though.

As it's primarily used for gaming it would be a stretch to do those things and it's not much of a recruitment tool. But you could probably name a channel the url. The descriptions don't work like a forum. It's mainly for voice chat.
You could name a channel
Something - I am a description
But they can only be so long. Also can't embed a discord channel anywhere. And you need to verify with an email each time you switch to a different device due to some security measure.

A few tips:
You can't use space or symbols in the room names, you need to rely on the ancient art of underscoring.
You can do it in the room descriptions, though, even add a link there.
Addons are for 'personal use', the only thing you can add serverwide are bots... They may be a bit tricky to use, but eh... If you want to type !cat and have a randomic cute picture of a cat being shown in chat, you can do it.
You can change your screen name, so sorry in advance if I'll go on some random Kayn Something, but sometimes I need my screen name to match my in game name for some community activities in Elite. Still have to check if you can get different nicks in different channels.
