      It can be a refreshing breaking from all the reoccurring posts about the same thing happening over and over that you see on Spiceworks.

      That's one of teh biggest pain points there. It's all just five questions rehashed every day. Posters acting like no one has talked about this before, and responders sick to death of people that have done zero research and never read anything.

          I honestly spend more time on Slack these days than forums.

          Slack?

            A decent amount of data recovery experts on there too that are always willing to give some good insight.

            Sounds like a group that needs some backup providers to jump in there.

              Slack?

              Super expensive (or crazy limited) instant messaging platform for internal users. It's like Rocket or Mattermost but only hosted and too expensive for any real use.

                yet tons of companies are using it. Sure perhaps not as many that you have heard of...

                  Because companies primarily focus on marketing.

                    @scottalanmiller This is very much a pet peeve of mine w/Spiceworks. If you've not spent all of 5 minutes researching an issue I'm not helping you. Also if you can't articulate what you're actually needing help with I'm not wasting 30 minutes of posting to get clarification in order to assist you.

                      I was just talking to @QuixoticJeremy last night about how 16/20 posts in a thread are almost always just trying to get the OP to fill in the information that should have been in the original post. It's like pulling teeth.

                        @scottalanmiller It's ridiculous, and then in the midst of all that you end up with an inevitable pissing contest of people arguing semantics that no one even has clarification on yet because the OP hasn't actually identified the circumstances surrounding the issue.

                          Yes, once everyone works only from assumptions, it gets to be such a mess.

                              Have you looked at Rocket or Mattermost? most of those Slack features I find really annoying and disable. They are just distracting.

                                        And... https://open.rocket.chat/home. It is a bit slow though.

                                          We currently use Mattermost internally. I really like it, and the app support is good. I didn't look that closely at Rocket though, so I can't really compare. I was mostly comparing Mattermost to Openfire.

                                            If you are talking about /giphy that's fighting words...

                                            In all seriousness, our engineers aggressively use that stuff (Tickets, and alerts and all kinds of fun interops with Jenkins, Jira etc).
