Building a Forum?

By Aaron Graifman @ 2024-09-08T20:54 (+3)

Reason for Writing: I want to gather information for a friend who is a professional in the behavioral sciences.

Requirements:

  1. Aesthetic
  2. Inexpensive
  3. Private
  4. Easily Setup

The goal is to create a small, private forum for discussions. 

I've looked into discourse, not sure if that's the best option.

If you haven't already this sounds like a good question to ask on Lesswrong probably moreso than here.

Fair enough. I'll ask there too! Thank you

Private subreddit / FB group could be cheaper/easier (although perhaps less private/aesthetic)

I was thinking that too. Not sure if that's what he's looking for , but it definitely would be a start.
Assuming we did use Reddit, do you know if the posts and content are something that could be exported to another site if we ever decided to migrate off of Reddit?
