1,000,000 pageviews in 2 weeks...! Why? Because Discourse. 🚀

Well, I just keep it updated, and don’t use a lot of plugins. The only two I use are discourse-affiliate (which unfortunately only does Amazon-links, and not even UK-ones) and retort. I do have the standard ones enabled.
It’s been relatively unproblematic, although I am thinking about storing images externally (S3 or Digital Ocean Object Storage).

As for financing, I run ads on the main site, not the forum. The reason for this is, that people can donate to have the ads removed, and I haven’t worked out how to turn ads off for some users on the forum, so I left it ad-free for now. If I were just running a forum, I’d probably just throw some ads in there (though I’d like to be able to turn them off for some users).

We’ve scaled things up a bit to handle and done some performance-related tweaks and upgrades. We’re now on a High-Availability CPU (‘High CPU’) with 12GB / 8 CPUs.

这现在重定向到一个 Discord 服务器。发生了什么？

对于一个拥有超过10万用户且持续增长且不受限制的聊天系统来说，运行Discourse的成本可能太高了。但这只是我的猜测。

另外，加密货币的交流时机也很重要。他们进行炒作、发明等等。因此，实时同步聊天可能比其他任何方式都更合适。

40 GB 对于拥有 100 万次观看的大型社区来说太小了，存储在社区中起着巨大作用，不仅仅是 CPU 功耗。即使是计算机，更多的存储也能让它运行得更流畅。

嗯，Discord服务器上肯定没有10万+用户。

加密货币的运作方式真是很有趣——今天在这里，明天又不知去向了。

因此，与临时聊天媒体非常兼容……

抓得好。由此我们能否得出结论，迁移离开 Discourse 并非大获成功？:thinking:

我认为你不能这么说。和许多项目一样，负责人可能已经失去了兴趣，或者从练习中获得了他们需要的东西并实现了他们的目标。

不知道这个怎么样了，它现在看起来像是在运行 XenForo。
