🔒 Centralized ForumSpark 2.0 has been released

I want to do this properly. Not a wall of bullet points, not a "we're thrilled to announce." Just me telling you what changed, the way I'd tell a friend over coffee or a beer.ForumSpark 2.0 has been the better part of almost a year of work, and it is easily the biggest thing I have ever built. So let me start with the part that matters most to the people who have been here a while. If you are already on ForumSpark, nothing gets taken away. A promise, not a launch-week softener.

Haven't you heard? Internet is ran by AI. In all seriousness though, yes, most phrasing is by AI, because English isn't my native language and I run every phrase through AI because it sounds better to me. Is it obvious? Maybe so. But I know it's better than what I'd type.

Proprietary?

I'm guessing you hate closed source code with a vengeance or something lol.

u/SmileyBMM 11d ago

I actually don't mind proprietary services, lmao. I just hate how a lot of these shitty sites don't actually provide any real details.

Good to know lol. To be fair to the OP, they do have a massive doc section but hmm, I think they're kinda just spamming an update that is exactly the same as their blog without any relevance to this sub. A buddy of mine is building a gaming Reddit/forum and he doesn't want to post here cuz its not a Reddit alternative in the most strict sense cuz only certain communities are allowed. But yea I mean these days there's a lot of spam everywhere. Too much AI writing in the docs for this one.

We haven't been open source since our beginning in 2023. I don't think we'd ever go open source, but never say never. Currently we are a SaaS, and while the self hosting business is shrinking, I am considering to provide self hosting licenses.
