Now that the boomer-2010 web movement is growing with webrings

Whats the goto Forum software these days ?

Im a part of a 1400+ miniature painter community and i would luuuuuuve if we had a forum instead of a FB group, so something stable, maintainable and all that

one click install prefered (im really tired of learning new shit) ;)

Wonder if its a return to phpbb ?

@mortendk Discord is not an option?

@klgn well i kinda think it would be a barrier - we have a lot of newbees into the hobby also i have a thing for pure webstuff - ;)

@mortendk @klgn Discord is about as user friendly as it gets for real-time community building as an end-user if you ask me :) I've successfully used it for a lot of things with people who barely know how to use their iPhone

@jippi @mortendk @klgn Discord isn't a forum implemention in my opinion though, it's a chat room implementation with some forum like design patterns. It's also not open source.

@nikkiana @mortendk @klgn Open Source wasn't a requirement, so sure, you're absolutely correct.

Also agree Discord isn't a forum - but it's very good at building and growing communities where you can benefit from the hybrid forum/real-time approach and rich ecosystem of bots and services to support the community. Also, free, which is nice.

Discord is also very "turn key", and since Morten said he was tired of learning new shit, it would fit that pretty well :)

@jippi @nikkiana @klgn whats interesting is that i did not see any reasons to mention that it needed to be web aka html based to be able to share it out and not in a closed eco system like ex discord is at the end of the day :)

but were so used to closed networks we dont even think about it anymore

@mortendk @nikkiana @klgn Discord apps are just repacked Electron app, so you can access all of Discord in your browser too with no apps or installations - and largely the same experience
