I found that the first two questions had answers that directly aligned with my views, namely that I still have fun regardless of its early stages of development (Super excited about future updates by the way, you guys rock.) and that I really enjoy using the discord both to talk to the development team and other people excited about this game being made, but I don't really use the forum that much, and that wasn't exactly an option.
Not really a complaint, but in my opinion its a lot easier to have discussions on discord rather than forum posts.
