Doesnt seem like anyone cares, unfortunately.
As far as I can see Discourse is more geared towards corporate uses, as a support platform rather than small community websites which need to generate revenue.
I really like Discourse as a piece of software but I’ve sadly taken the decision to move to another platform as it seems to be impossible to monetize Discourse properly due to the SPA / dynamic page loads, they just seem to cause havoc with every ad system I try to use, even with the official ad plugin.
If any small publishers need advice on alternative systems feel free to get in touch, have some devs migrating my community from discourse to their system currently and the first demo looks like it is working well.
