Join the community Discord server!
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2025 12:35 pm
I've created a community Discord! It's free to use, you just need to make an account if you don't already have one. Join here: https://discord.gg/NbKZwkzna6
A Discord community server provides a more secure, more flexible, more stylish alternative to a self-hosted message board, while being less prone to downtime.
Ben and Charlie have given this project their support and kindly offered to moderate, with me being the server owner. This community server emulates the structure of c4countdown, with devoted channels for discussions around the show, apterous, Co:Events and random twaddle. The existing c4countdown website isn't going anywhere in the meantime, but the idea is for the Discord to serve as the modern incarnation.
Some nice extra features that have been added so far, thanks to community efforts:
- Daily play-alongs with the show in the spoilers channel
- Integration with the Android app so you'll be notified of tourneys as soon as sign-ups open
- Integration with Fiona's FOCAL word checker
- Unlimited conundrum and numbers games with leaderboards
- Upcoming Zoomdown broadcasts automatically appear in the Discord Zoomdown channel
There's a 'discord-help' channel, so if you're new to the platform then check out the user guide and feel free to ask questions.
This is still an experiment but early signs have been very encouraging, so I appreciate any ideas, feedback, or whatever you can do to make this place feel more like home! Here's the invitation again, see you there: https://discord.gg/NbKZwkzna6
