Hello, I would like to use Discourse to open my community. I can not afford to pay to use the standard plan. So I would like to have a Free Plan available so that we can benefit from a free community. What do you think ? Thank you in advance.

Discourse is probably totally overkill for 1-2 members… You probably won’t even notice the speed and performance difference with a setup like phpBB plus ClearDB which you can probably put on a free shared hosting plan on many cloud platforms.

[image] romano97002: Once you have installed Discourse, is it easy to set up and moderate your community? One of the easiest I’ve come across. There isn’t a slew of pages/navigation to jump through (cough vBulletin cough), everything is neatly aligned and tucked away where you’d expect to fin…

Good evening and thank you for having answered me, Okay. Thanks a lot for the screens. I have an idea in order to be able to propose a free plan proposing the hosting and the creation of its forum Discourse: I suggest adding some ads on the forums having the free plan. People who would use Adbl…
