I don’t want to reveal my forum just yet, but it’s a leftist unity type thing (probably; I’m still working it out and finalizing things).

I may have others pay $2 through Patreon to use it.

I recently lost a day job, and I want to make money on the side while I do this.

It’s a passion project, but I’m also putting in effort  
into it.

I’m not sure what else to say at this point, but I hope you can all bear with me; I’m just now doing this, paid money for the full Discourse subscription, and have always wanted to create my own Internet forum.

I want to help bring back Internet message boards, like those from the 2000s.

Tall order, I know, but recommendations and suggestions on what to include, what to avoid, and so on and so forth would be most welcome.

Most likely: I will not make it a paid thing, but I’m exploring the option so I can help make it sustainable.

Welp, that’s all I have to say.

What do you all think?
