Stop seeing Discord as a forum, it is an IRC clone

He didn't say he sees it as a forum. He means what used to go on forums, and became information easily found via search engine, is now being put on Discord.

Never did. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of forums are now deserted and have a pinned post that points to a fucking discord.

It should be an IRC clone. Having the voice and screen sharing is also kinda nice.

Instead it's IRC + MSN messenger + Ventrilo + Skype + TeamViewer + MegaShare + Wiki + Game server hosting + Forum and probably a few more I'm forgetting, and adding more half-working bloat all the time.
