[We are in the same boat as @eesty](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unfortunately-i-had-to-pull-the-plug/117508), evaluating a switch away - as unfortunate as it is, for the reasons in the op.

We moved from SMF to Discourse 3 years back. Our biggest impact has been on ad revenue that dropped to 10% of what it was and never rose.

I love discourse absolutely - elegant, smooth, modern, clever. I don’t even have a single technical glitch, it just works and works well. But it is increasingly about sustaining the forum, head over heart. I really hope there is a solution to get the revenues back.
