11/09/2017, 1:45 AMwhy?

mwickett
11/09/2017, 1:45 AMBecause it’s an unpaid Slack plan, we’re losing valuable searchable history from previous conversations

11/09/2017, 1:45 AMAnd obviously with this many members, this can never be anything but a free account.

11/09/2017, 1:47 AMCan only have 5 per paid member

11/09/2017, 1:48 AMSo unless graphcool has 1000 paid members…

agartha
11/09/2017, 1:48 AMAh, didn't know that
agartha
11/09/2017, 1:48 AMHow about a 'free Slack membership with your paid Graphcool service'? 😄

11/09/2017, 1:50 AMIt's nice to have 5600 members, but I think I haven't seen more than 50 in here anyways.

11/09/2017, 1:50 AMYeah, that’s true. Probably a significant number are non-active

agartha
11/09/2017, 1:50 AMAnd I also hate the new Slack limits, but do you really need full history and 10GB storage space here on Slack?

mwickett
11/09/2017, 1:51 AMNo, probably not. Especially with the Forum

11/09/2017, 1:52 AMI was also caught off-guard by the sudden disappearance of history, but knowing about it know will make me take it into account.

11/09/2017, 7:24 AMThere’s too much focus on chats these days. And people like me use them just because I know I’ll get a quicker answer. But the reason you get a quicker answer is because of the UI. If there were forums with a chat like experience in terms of UI, it’d be different. GitHub issues would be a nice model for such forum softwares.

11/09/2017, 1:47 PMI do believe that covers a lot of use cases, I don't see the need of adding another 'community platform' to the mix

11/09/2017, 2:29 PMDefinitely not “add”. One thing I’ve always struggled both my own communities in the past and others is that there is not central place for everything.
