Yeah this is honestly the best forum software I have ever seen, but I’m pretty blown away by the $100/month price tag. I really appreciate the owners of this site in putting forth the effort. It’s pretty incredible. It might not be the most feature packed ever but it looks really nice and it’s fast. I made an alternative dark theme over here if any of you are interested.
Pretty sure that’s to host the forum on their servers (the creators’). It doesn’t cost anything to download and run the forum yourself (look at the Github link). So, you could get a webserver from somewhere (a lot cheaper than $100/month) and host it yourself
