Discord server live?

I've tried the Discord server, from the web version of Discord, but get "Messages failed to load". Is that defunct, or broken, or what?
Does the WG have a live forum anywhere? Twitter and Discord are the wrong tool for discussing complex technical issues. They're for one-line comments.
All three discords listed should work. The official discord is the least used. The community discord is very active and has a gamedev channel as well as other channels. The Rust Gamedev server is slightly smaller but more focused.
for longer terms questions, reddit has a rust and rust_gamedev forum. there's also users.rust-lang.org for general rust usage questions.
Personally I get almost all of my rust help from somewhere on the discords.
@John-Nagle they have threads now, which does make it a lot better for ongoing discussions. And there are quite a few technical discussions that do take place on there, but I see how it is difficult to get used to :)
We don't have an official forum, however, maybe you could check out Amethyst's forum? https://community.amethyst.rs/
This is what I'm seeing from Discord.
There may be a minimal account verification or something still left on from an event ages ago.
Either way, I'd try one of the other two discords. The official rust discord's wg-gamedev channel is nearly entirely unused for gamedev discussion anyway.
I believe there's something in the #welcome channel that you have to read/acknowledge before you can access the official Rust server.
