the founder @Discourse doesn't want us:




It's going to be tough to convert a large community, particularly if...

- many of them are traditionalists
- there's not a widespread sense of anger and outrage over the status quo
- the forum is BIG
- the forum is long established
- there is an expectation that old data will be imported (we recommend old content go read-only and new content only on the new site)

Discourse still doesn't have a subcategory implementation, either. It's still early in the lifecycle.

Unless this is done...

- via top-down fiat
- with the assistance of a SIGNIFICANT number of community members who actively hate the current status quo

It's very unlikely to work at this time, in my opinion.

I certainly do appreciate the vote of confidence, and it's good to continue discussing this amongst your community.
