Bringing Forums into the 21st Century

It's about time. I need to start a chat room for a media project. Problem is that forum software is a bit like Powerpoint. Neglected since around 1995. Clunky, clumsy and not integrated into other platforms. However, things are looking up. I Think I have found the solution. Its called Discourse.org

Discourse is the new 100% open source, next-generation discussion platform built for the next 10 years of the Internet.

Whenever you need ...

• a mailing list
• a forum to discuss something
• a chat room where you can type paragraphs

... consider Discourse.
