Starting today, new support threads that are created on discord will be indexed and be easily findable with search engines thanks to Answer Overflow. Right now, existing threads are being indexed.

I think this is crazily important. My biggest issue with Discord is that they have become the default hubs for issues and fixes. Over days, weeks, months and years those fixes get buried and harder to find, but the worst offender is that they are unindexable by default.
Its lovely to see someone doing this. I wish everyone would do this.
As ever, if you don’t know Heroic, you can find their website with this link here
A flimsy band-aid over the real problems:
Agreed. But it’s a good intermediate step.
It’s not. It’s not even a bandaid. Answeroverflow has a bad indexer and the search is useless. In my experience it produces no information of value whatsoever because all it throws back are messages devoid of context unless you read hundreds of lines of some randos conversation. God forbid the conversation lasted several days, you are better off asking chat again.
