Is there a Discord server for Oolite? This place seems to be rather quiet.

Is there a Discord server for Oolite? This place seems to be rather quiet.

It is even mentioned on the website: https://oolite.space/#community

[jackiebean2017]

Yes, but that link said it was expired. The one above works.

And is Discord more noisy than we are?


Shhhh!

Indeed, that link is expired. How can we get a durable one?

First, build one time machine.
Second, consult the W3C archives to read early predictions of the link-rot phenomenon and suggestions of better alternatives to the URL.
Thirdly, having determined the best moment to intervene in history, travel back in time and replace Tim Brooke-Taylor with an android double you have programmed to be more reasonable.
Fourthly (important), take the secret of your interference in history to the grave; never receive credit for your good work.
Don't forget to destroy the time machine when you're done, it could be dangerous if found by children.

Try this link, I've set it to not expire but we'll have to check again in a few days just to be sure. I've read somewhere that discord uses perma-invites only on community servers nowadays.

I just checked and it worked. Should be on the website in a moment.

The nominal duration of the invite link is 7 days, which have still not expired at the time of the site update. One more check in a couple of days or so would be advisable just to be sure.
