- wallawe 15y agoTHIS is what I've been looking for. It deserves a post of its own. Is the only way to make money by paying the monthly fee and using one's own ads? I am about to begin playing with it..
- barmstrong 15y agoAwesome, thanks for checking it out. Yes, the only way is ad supported right now if you want to go that route. What else were you thinking - monthly memberships for private forums? It seems odd but I haven't thought about it much. I'm considering making the project open source as well so technical folks can run their own versions and modify it. Sort of a wordpress model where it's open source but they still make money off the hosted version which is simpler for non-technical people to use. Thoughts?
