Title: Aces High Discord!
Post by: The Fugitive on May 11, 2025, 03:02:36 PM
And so it begins. I have gotten the "OK" from Hitech to start an "Aces High" discord channel. At this point it is a bit bare, but I hope to stay on top of it. I have the voice chats off for now but if it is needed I could add some channels down the road.

The Youtube channel is set to update when ever a new video is posted by anyone of the 5 channels I have setup for now. If those on the list stop adding videos I'll switch them out for someone who does post new videos.

I have some "Event" channels that I will try to keep up with as things are posted on the BBS.

The point here, like the YouTube channels is to spread the word about Aces High. So helps us out.

Heres the invite link....

If you run into an issue there is a "channel issue" text on the page, or you could leave me a note here and I'll do what I can. This is a first shot at a Discord server so Im open to suggestion/help in setup or pushing the channel.

I am not being or trying to be facetious but what does getting permission mean ?

Does it in some way interact with the game?

I have seen some Discord channels overlay games. Is this is what permission is about ?

Again my question is benign as I am not sure what is involved as Discord as I understand it runs as seperate as did team speak which we used back in the day alongside range and squad.

The whole server is setup as "Aces High". I asked permission so I could use logos, the name and so on. If Hitech had said he didnt want one associated with the game then it would have been something else. I have set it up to promote the game, so I thought having the OK from the owner couldnt hurt.

Thats odd.  :headscratch: Did you un-install using the windows app?

If you cant get on thats ok. Im hoping to get more reach with it as younger players use Discord over a BBS. The more connections I can get the more people see the game, which I hope turns into new players.

Maks sure it has its own 200 channel with borderline nsfw privilagss otherwise it will lack flavor :cheers:

The dirty photos and real hate garbage cant be allowed. Has to be kept in character to what we have in the game. For example, politics isnt allowwd but people still talk about it  :bolt:  :rofl

Thought to ponder.
My views increased a lot after adding “combat sim” to my YT title
Most don’t search for AH they search for sims. I found it covers both bases, with results.

From what I've seen most people will migrate to the discord server when it comes online and the forums end up with crickets.

As the BBS here is used by 1-2% of the players I think it already a bit of a loss.

It's not important to me, just wondering why Bob shows up as a link instead of a video on your discord.

I dont know, Ill look into it. I have it set up with a "bot" to watch for new postings from 5 players that have been posting on youtube. When the Bot sees it it sends a ping to let everyone know a new youtube vide was posted and puts up the link. Horble" and myself are both on that Bot and it posted ours with out an issue. I posted just the link and it added the screenshot and button. Odd.
