>>106158794 (OP) idk but Discourse is subhuman shit the point of a forum is accessibility, as in click on category->topic->thread->page and you find what you're looking for in 3 or 4 clicks instead of modern scrolling cancer where you need to scroll 8 minutes and wait for content to load until you reach a certain post you need.
>>106159089 Xenforo seems okay but it's expensive and they can pull your license, the free options appear to generally be either awful (discourse) or out of date.
