The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Anyone using the new Discord app?

    It's being marketed as the new replacement for teamspeak, ventrillo, mumble, etc.
    It's free, has browser login, or desktop app, free mobile apps, linux support coming soon.

    I made an account, and joined some friends but really haven't had a chance to test it out.
    and since it's "online", you can ditch paying for a teamspeak server now, but I'm not sure what admin controls it has. They also say it's a replacement for skype, but it has no video support??

    Interesting. But you could easily run your own teamspeak server for free.

    True. I've been running a mumble server on my debian linux netbook for a few years now.
