    Ever consider a Discord group?

    the other issue is that both Steve and I will sometimes use the search feature here and look up past posts from years ago, some chart or image or article that we posted - the search feature works very well - most of you guys don't use it or have used used it but it works well. We would lose that past search capability. Discord  and this community are different things: I view Discord more as a real time chat - what you see is for that day mainly - it's fast and efficient.  Whereas the Trading Community is more like one of those old message boards forums where you have all the history.  

    Also, as James said, the way he has set it up, Google has access to the history of the Trading Community and helps us some with SEO. For example if someone did a Google search for 'The VIX and Bollinger Bands' some past posts from the Trading Community might show up in the Google search results, which help us because it would bring some people randomly to our site - you would obviously not get that with Discord.  The only thing I would be possibly open to is using Discord where James is able to write some code that would copy and mirror all the posts from Discord to the Trading Community forum so that we have a static history etc

    AHHHH.... that makes tons of sense.     Wouldn't have to replace anything it could just be a free for members only area... makes it super easy to chat and wouldn't clog up the community.    I wonder if theres a chat function that you could embed on the website.      Just more for passing atm convo.        I love what you guys are doing this is amazing.    I've followed in the past but never as religiously as I do now.... and you guys are it.   Awesome stuff always.    Thanks for what yall do!!!

    Just accidentally realized discord actually has a good search function (didn't know that existed).  But still not exact the search here).  ðŸ¤·‍♂︠

    discussed this before

    we would lose the SEO traffic we currently get through Google - all these blog posts get indexed on Google and could show up on someone's search whenever they are searching for something - can help us get random traffic - on Discord we lose that

    We also use the search capability and I find posts from years ago quite easily

    the only way I'd be kind of okay with it is if we could have some program that copied all the discord posts from the day and duplicated them here

    not saying we can't do that but we have too many irons in fire at moment too much going to  so it's not a big priority 

    No discord group please. Stick

    lol... okay no discord.     Don't fix it if it aint broken.    (that said I'm just a discord nerd,   basically deleted every server I was in save for 2 so now it's not messy and distracting)

    when we do update the systems section - I would rather have a separate forum just for system trades

    excellent idea
