Also, I had a couple of additional questions with regards to getting Discourse set up:

- I realize Discourse has an in-built Analytics dashboard. If we want to add and report on additional custom metrics, how easy is it to add new code to query backend tables?
- How easy is it to create custom rules for users to build trust and develop custom badges?
- Finally, saw on the website that there are two different options for hosting the solution: on-premise and Discourse hosted? How do they differ in terms of features/support and how should one think about that?

Appreciate the help!
