Public goods benefit the public. I trust that those who choose to volunteer to
contribute to public goods understand that will include businesses as well

Thanks, Richard.
After I looked into discord privacy policies, I realized that my audience would
not even consider it. I decided to make a simple site using bbpress with
wordpress and try to use only free or very low cost plug-ins. Most of my
programming time in the last year was building a

To me, Discord looks like a refugee from a moderately poorly designed BBS from

One more and then I will stop hijacking this thread. BTW these are jokes
told in Russia by Russians.

The Russians also have another:
Q: What is the difference between capitalism and communism?
A: Capitalism is one man exploiting another. Communism is exactly the opposite.

Hi Bill,
If you are running your own server on your computer,
I don’t believe they would have access to that at all.
They claim it’s both safe and that they are transparent
on how it all works. It is open-source software so
you should be able to see for yourself.

Discord looks really interesting. I'm thinking of trying it out. One thing I
wonder about is
user privacy. I know there are private channels, but does the entity supporting
discord have access to user data, emails, names, etc?
That will be the first question I'm asked.
Best,
Bill

Well, if I go to my bartender and ask for a free beer, I might get one, but
then the bartender or the owner has to pay for it.
As for freedom, everyone I think knows that our freedoms are purchased at a
precious price.

It's free as in both freedom and beer.

Richard,
Thanks so much for the link to the installation instructions for discourse.
I've been thinking about installing a forum.
If I do the installation myself, will there be a cost, other than the domain
name?

Thanks for the additional information.
If I host it myself do I pay anything, or it is free?

Hi Richard,
Why is Discourse better than Dat-course? LOL
Discourse is $50 per month! No free option for that.
Thanks for your input.

Just be aware that discord has horrible threading.
Never run your own stuff on the web unless you’re really sure what you’re doing
(unless it is read-only stuff). Preventing SQL and Scripting injection is not a
trivial thing to do and in that sense LiveCode and PHP are kinda the same.
