Sorry, poor forum etiquette on my part. I’ll post a linked thread there instead.
Maybe, but it would create all sorts of other management headaches. (And there’s no guarantee the self-hosted hardware could keep up with 10,000 posts or more.)
IMHO the hosted cloud version is probably the better choice for most forums, including ours, as long as we can afford to pay the bills. If the SDMB were ever at risk of shut down because of the bills, maybe self-hosting becomes more attractive, but otherwise I don’t think it would be worth the effort (to our mods and owners). Strictly IMHO.
Oops, sorry, when I posted that I thought this was the “YouTube posting bug” thread!
