Now we're on Discord! Discord is much better and here's why (copied from this post from the Shulks). Discord has dramatically improved our community and everything is great and I highly recommend joining.

-Can be used in your browser or through the program. I recommend the program, but it's your choice. Also works on phones.
-Multiple voice and text channels have given us a lot of options for discussions we previously did not have. Also has made matchmaking easier for everybody.
-It's very useful for people to be able to set how loud they hear each individual (as mics are different in sensitivity)
-No Skype lag (this was very annoying)
-The program itself is made to use machine resources very efficiently. It takes up very little space when open. On the other hand, my laptop cries when I have Skype open.
-Sometimes, having Skype open has caused people lag while doing wifi matches. This issue does not happen with Discord.
-It's easier on the mods, due to improved powers
-It is easier to tell who is online, afk, or offline.
-To talk via voice, you just join a voice chat channel, and can see who is already in that voice chat channel beforehand. It's much easier than having somebody host a call. And, again, there are multiple voice chat channels which can be used for different things.
-No ads (Skype has ads)
-Free (Teamspeak costs money)
-Useful commands you can use, like @[insert_name], @everyone, and #[insert_channel_name]
-Your IP is protected
-Much more features to come in the future, as it's still new and being updated. Some thing I am aware of which will come in the future are the capabilities for custom emoticons, screen sharing, and video chat.

You can read more about Discord from their main site.
________________________________________________________

Rules (you must read these)
These can also be found in the #stuff_to_read channel too.

1) No NSFW Posts. Mainly images but applies to comments too. This results in an IMMEDIATE ban. Strictly prohibited! If you wouldn’t want a teacher or a boss to see what you are about to post or the comment you are about to send, don’t post it.

(2) Character Bashing - Don’t bash our main, or other characters! Strictly not allowed! You will be warned if you are “bashing” a character. This is not an outlet for your complaints against our character.

(3) Baiting / Bullying / Pedestaling other players in the chat. Everyone is treated equally with respect. If you are “toxic” to this chat community you will be warned. Bear in mind that being toxic is a vague word but the moderators will let you know if you are breaking this rule and will give you a warning. Repeat offenders will get banned. This is supposed to be a safe haven for our character mains, anybody against that goal will be removed.

(4) No spamming the chats. Be it images, memes, or constant message notification spam. You will be warned if you are spamming.

(5) If you add someone who was previously banned without the moderators knowing so, both parties will be removed.

(6) Do not change your name to be the same as someone else. Attempting to masquerade as another person is a bannable offense.

(7) Please use the channels for their intended purpose.

(8) Please show respect when you’re in the voice chats.
________________________________________________________

Discord can also be a bit overwhelming so in the #stuff_to_read there is a post called Discord Tour which explains how to use the Marcina Discord (specifically the channels), please read that as well.

Post a comment in this thread to be added to the Rosalina and Luma Discord, I will PM you a one-use link.

So with Discord, you'll able to discuss things on voice chat, and do the same like on Smashboards?

Yes you will be able to, however you don't have to. You can communicate with voice or text chat, and it takes up less of your computers resources in comparison to Skype

Edit: If there is disruptive behavior I will deal with it accordingly and also you have the option to mute others that are being loud or rude, but those kind of people won't be tolerated.

Ok, I'll try it out, later; However, I don't have a mic so I can't do voice chat. Plus, I'm not comfortable with it or with sharing my voice out there.

That's totally fine! Please don't feel pressure to talk if you don't feel comfortable as it's just an option not a necessity, I hope we can all have a good time!

Hm... since there's Rosalina Discord group, maybe I should give a try.
And really? You don't need to signup to join Discord group?

I have finally been able to tidy up the discord group a bit more and added some rules with some helpful information for those who were having issues! The group is almost 100%, all that is missing now is that more people join and start talking xD I'm hoping I can get this group going this time around and I hope more of you are willing to try it out!

EDIT: In an effort to save everyone time, you can now join the Rosalina and Luma using this invite link: https://discord.gg/0UqT70xTxUmy9hT7 I'll see you there!

*A cold prescence is upon the land* Hey everyone. I came here to check this "Discord" place out. So basically we just voice text about Rosalina here? And also, I don't even use Skype. Actually, Skype is stuck on my computer... Intriguing, I'm not too accustom to this idea, but I'll give it a try. Try to guess me by my username.
