Hey guys!

We've finally setup an InRangeTV Discord server and associated a role with the $5 and above Patreon level supporters.

This means that people in "The Muscle" and "The Starchamber" (or above) now should receive an invite via Discord to join the InRangeTV server.

I'm going to be brutally honest here, I'm new to Discord so this is a learning experience for me.    It's our goal that this perk will afford fans of InRangeTV a more valuable collaboration space to discuss our content, or anything else (within reason, of course!).

Please let me know how this works for you guys and I'm all ears in regards to suggestions on how to improve, or what else to do, with this Discord integration.

Seriously, I'm always thinking about ways to reward you guys...and hopefully between the giveaways, the audio podcasts, meetups (when possible) and Discord, (along with the videos, of course), you're enjoying being a part of this project with us!

THANK YOU!

~Karl

Hell yeah! Super cool!

Corey Allhands

Nice perk. Your Q&A sessions are going to go on forever...lol

Kyle Groetsch

I think this is going to bring us all closer together. Great news! Keep up the great work. My patronage is only a small representation of the admiration of what you do. So happy to be a part of this information and entertainment revolution. HOOAH!

I use discord quite a bit, its a very nice program. Be sure to create several different chat and voice channels for various topics. I would suggest for chat to have ones for C&R guns, modern guns, music, TV shows, videos, history, etc just so there are specific places to categorize most of the content you think will be posted. Also, have a few various voice channels so people can have a discussion about politics, guns, and some other people teaming up in a video game. You can hit me up if you need help.

Is there perhaps another way to gain access to the Discord than using the Patreon integration? I'm keen on neither letting Patreon access my full server list, as I don't see why they'd _need_ that, nor letting them accept instant invites blindly on my behalf. I can see well meaning ideas behind these, but in this age of rapidly diminishing privacy and self governance, I think these kinds of things should be more thoroughly considered. I'm pretty confident Karl can see my point here.

Drew Coleman

Nice! Can't wait to get invited. Do we need to send in our discord details? I am somewhat familiar with the admin side so I can help with that if needed. Highly recommend disabling the "@everyone" thing except for admins/trusted mods.

Fudj

I can't find it, have you actually started it or is this a exclamation of intent to start one?

How are we getting invited through discord? I don't know of any way to connect patreon and discord.

David Rahn

I'm a big discord user so this sounds great. Except that patreon's discord integration is a little... Intrusive for my taste. If there isn't another option I guess I could suck it up and use it, or use my bot account.

J Neko

Oh and I'm not wanting to skirt the pledge level requirement. In my view that's completely fair and I immediately raised my pledge to $5 when I found the rewards beneficial. I can also see how a regular invitation link would be a problem with it rather unavoidably getting misplaced at some point and thus negating the prerequisite conditions. Then again personal one-time invitation per request of an eligible patreon would be an undue burden with checking for the prerequisites and even just for generating and distributing all the links. Unfotunately I do not know of a(nother) way to reliably automate this. That said, I'm not ready to give the Patreon Discord integration the permissions it desires and will for now remain OotL, but I'll keep my pledge up in hopes this gets resolved later. Hope to join you soon!

Kevin Williams

Very interesting perk, I look forward to trying it out.

Sidney Reilley

What is Discord and how do we utilize it? You did such a good job explaining net neutrality I'm hoping for a bit more on this. Otherwise it's not much of perk.

Sean

Discord behaves like a community chat room. it also allows for voice communication.

Jinwoo Kang

I'm quite experienced with discord so you if you need help or a admin/mod, I can help.

Sean Smith

Will the invite come through Discord, or through Patreon? EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out.

Michael Smith

OK...am I the only one who's going to admit that they didn't know, wtf is Discord?? I looked it up, VoIP s/w, I'm down for it..

Sean Smith

I had no idea what the hell it was until I saw this post.

Josh Sandhar

If you guys are wondering how to get on, in patreon go to Settings>Account then you will see the discord integration button. You might want to download the discord program first btw.

Trey Anderson

Be nice if the discord integration was available on the Patreon mobile app.

Kameron Rougeou

That'll help alot with future vids it'll be great to discuss future content via voice chat

Affectionate Nouns

Will the invites be e-mailed, or sent directly through discord? Some patrons (myself included) used a different email address for discord than they did for patreon, or have their privacy settings such that they cannot receive invites or messages from strangers.

Leonard T Schmandt

Am I correct in thinking that we are going to get another message telling us how this works. I got the app and set it up, but not sure how to reach iRangeTV's server.......or if reaching iRangeTV's server is even what I should be trying doing.

InRange TV

No doubt. I turned this thing live today and it hasn't stopped!

Bruce Brodnax

What, YT comments via talk-radio? Sounds like Hell x 2 if you ask me! X-@

Bloke on the Range

Hasn't worked for me - I've set it up but maybe I've not been flagged?

Simon W S

I never got an invitation either and would love to be able to log on,how do I do it?

Michael Smith

Unable to connect after setting up an account and following the link... oh well

Preppy

I was finally able to connect! Lots of activity!!

Brad Pace

I figured it out, yay!

Kaz

I had no clue what I was doing but I managed to blunder my way through it and get in.

Cary Widauf

I didn't get an invitation... Of course this is technology so I am prone to make mistakes.

Bloke on the Range

Went through that before posting... Got Discord set up but apparently I should have received an e-mail with the server address, but I didn't :)

Preppy

The #memes channel made my day 😜😂

Eric Calder

I understand adding benefits for those at the higher donor level, but $4.00 a month more to join a chat room?

InRange TV

This is in addition to the already existing perks. If you don't see the value, then don't do it. ~Karl
