Would the Arch Linux forums ever switch to Discourse?

3 years ago by Kalcifer to c/archlinux

Currently, the Arch Linux Forums uses FluxBB which, while it does work, is rather dated, and could use a fresh coat of paint. The hot forum software of the day seems to be Discourse. Does Arch Linux have any interest in switching to that?

Discourse is a pain for sysadmins. I hope they wouldn't.

Less control, total change in moderation abilities, bowing to the whims of discourse changes, and lots more.

As a sysadmin, if it works and is secure….
