    Would the forum be interested in starting a discord server?

    I was thinking it would be cool if the forum set up an unoffical discord server for people to join and chat. When I was studying for my Cisco CCNA I was in the reddit discord server and it was a fantastic resource for learning. Thought it would be cool to set one up for the forum here. Even if...
