If not, why not?

Because of what Ben said, I'm pretty sure.
Discord is great, for chat, and for various topics.
The issue is that it's much harder to keep track of threads, as it's really just a server with multiple chatrooms.
Because we already have a chat?
Before I scrolled and saw the whole thing:
"Ah, John de Lancie's character, named 'Discord', from My Little Pony, very nice."
After I scrolled and saw the whole thing:
"What the fuck, drew?"
(Also, yeah, I'm happy with the current chatroom, and don't think voice rooms would be utilized past the first week of novelty, but I've been wrong about such things before.)
Yeah, safesearch was off. Sorry, not sorry.
<edit> Hat tip to Boter for at least catching (and explaining) the reference.

I'm burning this forum to the ground. It's been nice, folks.
Let Neptune strike ye dead, drewjmore! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!
Hark, Triton, hark! Bellow, and bid our father, the sea king, rise up from the depths, fullfoul in his fury, black waves teeming with salt-foam, to smother this young mouth with pungent slime to choke ye, engorging yer organs till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more... only when, he, crowned in cockle shells with slithering tentacled tail and steaming beard, takes up his fell, be-finnèd arm -– his coral-tined trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and runs you through the gullet, bursting ye, a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now -- a nothing for the Harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon, only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the dread emperor himself, forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea... for any stuff or part of drewjmore, even any scantling of your soul, is drewjmore no more, but is now itself the sea!
Alright, have it your way.
We actually already have a Discord, though it's not really ever been used.
I don't really know what Discord... is.
...
But I do like URLs that vaguely resemble my name.
So.
Discord = MSN Messenger smashed with forums + Skype.
You can create different text chat rooms for specific topics, control who can and can't enter different areas (A lot of podcasts and shows I follow use this with their patreon to great effect). But it also has the ability to just hop into a voice chat room and talk to people, and in the last couple years added video chat support.
We used to use it a lot (And tons of people still do) for running TTRPG games remotely, among other things.
Whoa. That sounds awesome! I didn't realize there had been a new evolution in the [[Skype-like]] social space.
...
Man, I love being in the loop.
(I fucking hate the internet sometimes.)
Discord is great, and has become one of my primary ways of keeping in contact with people. It has basically everything I want out of social media without intruding with lots of stuff I don't. It's also probably the best way to get ahold of me without literally having my phone number. So, if y'all want to hang out on Discord, I'm already there.
*squint*
Standby. This is intriguing, but I've got shit to deal with. I can't go tempting myself with AIM-crack right now.
EDIT: But thank you for this information. I intend to come back to it.

For reference, I scrolled up a bit in the general chat, and Teague has definitely posted in it before.
He is, in fact, the one who created it.
