Eventually the discord transformed from just a game chat to what it is now and just took a life on it's own. There is one chat based thread called General-Mavs and instead of individual topics, it's just one endless stream of conversation. You do need a discord account and an invite to the the discord to begin chatting, but the icon on the front page allows you to see what people are talking about.
Discord is a separate entity and isn't tied to this site besides the plug-in that Clutch set up. I've been talking with cjeter and SBJ and there is a way to create "threads" more like a regular forum (in case we all want to migrate over), but it isn't exactly the same. It's close though...
Still, its the same familiar faces talking Mavs and I like to pop in there from time to time.
Great. Thanks for the explanation.
