With the shutdown of the bitsy discord
Recently ish the official bitsy discord shutdown infavor of the discussion board, mini-forums itch offers, while it was nice space, we agree with the decisions made. Though we doubt adam ledoux was particularly involved as the discord was a fan project, the space had it's time.
But also be aggregating knowledge on discord instead of indexable mini-forums, it locked getting up to date knowledge on how to use the bitsy's dialog and getting help behind joining discord.
While bitsy folk are quite amicable towards these repeated questions, and the discussion board was there the whole time, preference for a real time communication to ask the same questions often builds when people answer more frequently on discord.
So we're swapping the comments section out for a discussions board, on itch.io you can either have a discussion board miniforums or a comment section as some of you may know. Thanks for commenting on this project, let's have space for helpful communication in the future.

Like the bitsy game editor but wish you could just use all the colors, well...

I'm *just* getting started messing with bitsy in general, really upset the Discord, a much more real time form of communication, is gone :(
I respect the decision to close down the discord but I can't find any of the information that must have been in it, reposted anywhere. I heard the server was set to "read only" - the invite links aren't broken - but current settings also don't allow anyone new to join in order to search those "read-only" past discussions for help. The Bitsy forums are practically empty so it doesn't look like anyone has been migrating the info out of Discord onto the forums. And most of the official Bitsy handbook pages are currently empty - they really only contain info so basic that you could figure it all out just by opening the program for the first time. Very unfortunate as I bet there was a lot of help on the Discord that could have been compiled into a huge tutorial!
If anyone sees this comment in the future and knows if anyone has conserved info from the Discord anywhere, please let me know!
