About this Chat Room
This chat room connects to the official discord server for DonationCoder. Alternatively, you can use the stand-alone Discord client to connect to the channel ( invite ).
Who Am I Talking To?
This chat channel is open to all, though there are usually one or two users in the channel who are moderators at the DonationCoder forum who can provide official support. Please do not share your login information or other personal information with anyone other than moderators.
24hrs/day, 365days/year
Our chat channel is occupied 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, but please remember you are not speaking with paid support employees -- you are speaking with members of the DonationCoder.com forum who hang out in there spare time to chat about all aspects of life, and will help out with problems you might have if they are able to. We are always happy to have new people join the chat to talk about life, projects, software, etc.
Don't Forget the Forum
While the chat channel can occasionally be a good way to get a question answered quickly, we always recommend our forum as the main place to find answers and request assistance. That's because the forum has a much wider reach in terms of people who can help, and doesn't rely on someone being online when you post your question. It's also a much better way for people to share lasting knowledge on the forum.
Check out the new free software and fun stuff released as part of our NANY (New Apps for the New Year) 2018 event on January 1, 2018: here.
Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year. NANY is really the funnest thing we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together. There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.
