Switching Forums to use Discourse?

[ryo]

Hey  it is about choices !

There are people discussing Pine products on Discourse, ** perhaps the O.P.  should be there  ?

I Prefer to stay here,  I would appreciate someone not trying to shut down this forum for their own personal ''Taste"

I think you're confusing Discourse with Discord here.
Discord is fine because it's a substitute for the forum (like how it's supposed to be) rather than a full blown replacement.
And it's a chat platform, not a message board.

Discourse on the other hand is a message board just like MyBB which this forum is running on right now.
You can only replace MyBB for Discourse, managing 2 completely separated forums is going to be overkill in the long run, and the staff will just force everyone into either of the 2 in the end.

Yep, we do it at work. See:

Oh, I didn't know that.
Well I did, but that was the Discourse I knew a couple years ago, back when they still had a download button and instructions on the main page, but since they are hiding it on Github, I assumed they quit offering a way to self host.
Seems like it still requires basically the same system resources as Windows 7 32-bit requires, which I found to be extremely high for a web app back in the day, but if you consider how much system resources web frontends require nowadays, it's still pretty lightweight in comparison, which is pretty sad.
