<p>Steve, there is a sub-group of gamers/gaming within FSPA! Steve Jonke is kind of in charge and can give you all the info. We meet irregularly. Mr. Jonke, if you're seeing this, perhaps we should do an annual promotion of the gaming list on the main list to catch newcomers?</p>

<div> </div>
<div>The more I think about it, one or the other (still prefer Discord) has a ton of benefits. Per-league channels, general announcements, realtime communication at big events like PAPA or Pinburgh, etc.</div>

<div>Nice, but why not Discord? Slack is more business-focused, Discord is more for hobbyists/gamers.

<div dir="auto">Hey all. I created an FSPA zone slack channel (<a href="http://fspazone.slack.com">fspazone.slack.com</a>) where we can all BS about pinball and League stuff. I thought about this at pinburgh, and thought it would be cool to have a more rapid/casual forum for us to connect and chat. Certainly not a replacement for this email list at all, but just another means to consume our hobby.
<div> </div>
<div>If you're not familiar with slack it is a chat service similar to IRC for those that may remember. Its pretty common with the developer communities and there are clients available for desktop, iOS, and android.<br />

<div>If anyone is interested in joining here is an invite link!</div>
