Question

Post by jackiebean2017 »

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

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. :mrgreen:

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.

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.
