I got him to be SLIGHTLY less stubborn by sending him this: **Him:** I never said Discourse isn’t a forum, just that phpBB is more like my image of what a forum is supposed to be **Me in sysadmin mode:** Then your image of a forum is severely outdated and full of security vulnerabilities. **His response:** Then make Discourse look more like a forum and I’ll use it. That’s good news because I’ve been spending the last 2 days setting it up and debugging some OIDC stuff and I’m almost close to finishing up. His opinions are just that, opinions, and they seem like personal bias. So I’m going to use Discourse no matter what and just try my best to reshape his image of a good forum by letting the community build and showing him how well-received it is. Might also show him the [MonoGame forums](https://community.monogame.net) which is powered by Discourse and is the community surrounding what used to be Microsoft XNA, and is now MonoGame, which was the framework that the game I’m working on used to be built on (and my community surrounds said game.) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/convincing-a-stubborn-admin-to-let-me-use-discourse/106314)._
