The true cost of resources to host a small forum are so low they're negligible. It's an obvious fact. Facebook doesn't pay $5/month for every discussion group they run. If they did, they would go bankrupt in an instant. Instead, they're making money.
>I think web hosts that specialize in forum servers already integrate obtaining a domain from their own platform and even using a subdomain from one of their own, so I don't see what else they could do.
So you're telling me that there are no ease of use improvements possible when it comes to hosting trivial content like forums. And yet you also admit that Facebook allows people to host trivial content much easier than doing it "on their own". This position makes absolutely no sense.
