Also looked as Discord, which is free, but I don't think it's exactly what we'd all want.

Man, does Discord NOT work for my brain. Several places I used to find really helpful -- like a Patreon tech support group -- moved from a forum like this one to a Discord. Suddenly, instead of being able to find an old thread from 3 years ago that had the answer to an infrequent problem that still cropped up, it was all just... a mess to me. Ha... Yes, I know that makes me sound old, but I'm feeling pretty damn old!

Oh I feel this in my bones!

Well . . . I think a Lividian Forum (the Lividian Living Room?? Huh? Huh?) would be a fantastic addition to the site and you can be sure you'd start out with a smoldering core of very grateful supporters. Who knows how much heat it could generate?

I am so tech dumb but I've thought about it. I looked at a WordPress plugin once because that's what our site is based on, but I've been considering moving to a different e-store solution this year, so maybe not a good idea... Here's to hoping TacomaDiver will save the day!

I'm still fixing announcement stuff for tomorrow but now I want to go and complain about how confusing I found the decision to move those forums to Discord. In fact, I'd log into their Discords and do just that if I could remember how and where to login. lol

I used a WordPress plug-in and it seems "good'? I need to do some theme formatting (colors and such) but I have a working prototype. I'll PM you the URL - give it a whirl - curious what it's like for a non-me user.

It works! Except I can't get recaptcha to cooperate. Baby steps!

I'd definitely do my best to be an active participant on a new forum.

All -

Here's what I created this evening in about an hour - pretty basic but I think it could work.

https://www.twohingebrewing.com/

Yes the domain makes ZERO sense but it's what I had on hand (my wife has her old make-up business domain - that might make better sense hahaha)

Register - make a post. Poke the bear.
