Subject: No, this is happening via Zoom.

To quote my opening post:

I'm thinking this could be done on Zoom or something, to make it more accessible (not everyone's on Discord or wants to be!) I've used it for a few things so far; you can keep video and/or audio off (I'm pretty sure you can join without video; I can test that tomorrow), and set your name each time you join a meeting, so keeping general anonymity/using screen names should be pretty easy. I'm also inclined to send out the link via email rather than posting it on the Board, which would be simple enough to set up.

Re: the locked server, as far as I know it got temporarily locked down due to Bram resurfacing and possibly spamming the server. It should eventually be unlocked again.

At any rate, I deliberately chose for this to not happen via Discord so as to be more inclusive of Boarders who are exclusively Boarders and don't want to change that. You don't need access to Discord or the PPC Discord server in order to participate.

As far as I remember, there is a download connected with Zoom, and you may need an account? I'm not sure. Both are free, in any case. I'll try to get more information on this; I made an account the first time I used it because the person hosting the event asked us to set up accounts in advance just in case, so that's what I've been using. I'll see what I can find out about that (if anyone here knows, please share! I first used Zoom all of about two weeks ago).
