So mostly it's the meta issues that concern me. First, someone is paying for Discourse, right? It's not free like GG. Is that sustainable, or will we back at GG in 2 or 3 years?
Second, is the search better on Discourse? Because that was the main concern about GG -- things become lost in the mist of time (the mist of time being more than two weeks ago). Thanks!
