I work with a ton of scientists (and am one myself) and I’m a member of multiple slack channels with hundreds of members that are years old and only have a 1-2k messages.

An example is a Python users group where there’s maybe a few threads a week. And it’s really useful to search for old threads.

Another is a hackathon with maybe 30 people where there were a few hundred messages over a week and then 1 message a month.

Self host a forum…

That’s what I’ll end up doing. Pretty much migrating all these chats off slack.

Interestingly, these led to lots of pie licenses and we’re migrating all these over too.

Once we’re self hosting a server then we don’t need the paid license either.

Seems kind of much for $100/year/user anyway. Teams is bundled in with o365 for nothing or little extra.
