Re: Newfangled Discord "server" set up.

Yeah, like Facebook the posts are ephemeral, but at least there are different themed "channels" like in IRC, so it's more general chit-chat than reference material, which is what the forum is ideal for.

Easy to fix though. Replace the PAL, swap the memory and change a jumper and it's a true 512.
