Just posted this [somewhere](https://community.appcelerator.com/topic/3816/why-not-discourse):

For 1 year now, whenever I join a forum I like to ask this question: Have you considered using [discourse.org](http://discourse.org) ?

Most of the times it is my perception the answer is “_no, we didn’t even know / care about it_” or, sometimes, “_yeah, but we wanted to roll something of our own_”, which I find very sad. Discourse is **hugely** unique in a lot of ways and still so much overlooked. If you wanted to build something, why not on top of it?

It will not only become the wordpress of forums, it will probably become the google of talking. It could even eventually resolve what’s broken about email or messaging, although their small team would never claim this. Okay, maybe I’m overstating it… But it is this awesome! 🙂

[Keep on the evangelisation](https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/apps/wl4rG2IpBuo/78FBzEMLAQAJ)!! 😍 So sad [realization the new groups](https://meta.discourse.org/t/free-hosted-option/9621/64) isn’t new at all! ☹

The [customers content](http://discourse.org/faq/customers) should be on front page, IMHO. And it is way too hidden as it is right now. Got some issues finding it last time I’ve forgot the link.
