1. What should the forums be for?
The obvious answer from a staffing standpoint is essentially anything directly server-related, and leave anything community-oriented to the discord, but I will always entirely disagree with this notion. Discord is good for more in the moment conversations. If you miss a conversation in the discord, you probably won't even know it happened. That's how it's designed to be, fluid ongoing conversations, with certain specific places being infinitely static. The forums are a great place to have an ongoing conversation about a very specific topic. Relegating the forums to be specifically for specific server issues means you're not utilizing a large part of its allure anymore. That's why people come here to complain about stuff, or make posts about people being retards, because here it will stay at the forefront,  anyone can look up a thread and see all the relevant comments about it in one place instead of having to sift through them. So saying that all of the communal use of the forums can go to the discord is just wrong.

I wanted to point this out when fish said something similar but I didn't really know how to word it... the discord is actually older than this whole website. Why do we all the sudden just want to shove it in the back and let it be the site where we dump ban reports? Nothing has warranted that other than a sudden moderation issue on the forums (cough, fix the report button)
