- jiggy2011 13y agoA good idea might be to offer hosted Discourse instances to people who want to get up and running easily.
- Supermighty 13y agoMy hope is that people will choose self-hosted forums over services offered by facebook or google. However the host providers do it they need to make it very easy.
- kmfrk 13y agoDiscourse sell dedicated server solutions, so I don't know how much of a problem it is to them, though. Maybe it'll mean more people use their solution instead of rolling their own. Just from a cynical commercial point of view.
- steveklabnik 13y agoOne of their mission statements is to make Rails deployment even easier.
- Supermighty 13y agoAs long as they still offer the option to host your own I'm OK with that. Self-hosted communities are an amazing life blood of the free and open Internet.
