> I will most likely deploy and pay for hosting a forum for the users and then nuke the subreddit. This is a direction I would like to see things going. It could just be that I mostly frequent tech-oriented communities, but with "self-hosting" as a hobby growing the way it has and servers being much cheaper than they used to be, I think (hope?) a lot of communities will retreat from these places to ones where they have more control. |

I think 'slim' sites like HN really show that you do not need a lot of hardware to run a forum.
When you own a forum you can preserve the knowledge indefinitely, even if the forum is taken offline.
Reddit can close down your subreddit just because, they own it.
