I know Discord is nice app. But if majority of our users goes chatting on Discord, this forum will be losing traffic. You know what will happen next.

Totally agreed.  Even the Shoutbox is a distraction from activity in the Forum.  I literally cringed at FreeVPS.us whenever I saw interesting tech discussions happening in the Shoutbox and some of those even by the staff who should have known better.  The Shoutbox gets cleaned up periodically too, so most of the high-tech stuff discussed are wiped forever. All of that comes as a loss to the Forum in terms of measured activity and attracting discussion from the membership.
