Would anyone think about using Guilded over actually hosting a forum? Guilded is completely free with forum options, as well as calendars, RSVP, subs so you can actually get paid similar to patreon, and a TON of other features such as live chat, etc. It's all completely free and you even get a vanity url that you can build SEO on. With all of that in mind, would you ever consider using Guilded over creating an actual full fledged forum? https://www.guilded.gg?r=rdOrzD34 here's the link if you haven't checked out guilded, I'm not a developer or anything of it, literally asking out of curiosity.

Guilded > Owning a Forum

I would still stick with forums, that can be customized further with addons. But this is a really good alt though.
Having used it, it's definitely quite a unique software and has some great features. But I'm not sure I would use it as a forum alternative. I like having control over my site and whilst you can do a lot with Guilded, there just isn't the same amount of freedom as hosting your own site.
It's going to be a pain moving that anywhere else though. Forum software isn't going to have an importer for Guilded data which is going to be a problem
Then it's like just start from nothing again, and get people and members to boost power by posting 
Meanwhile, I do not think we are evening thinking about it I stick with Discord for now and I will join the Guilded server to keep check on it's progress.

It would be hard to call it a content management system, to be honest since it seems you can't just create new pages and build a "website". It's a pretty advanced social networking platform basically.
Cool. I use Sngine and find it to be a very powerful and feature rich social networking script,: https://codecanyon.net/item/sngine-the-ultimate-social-network-platform/13526001
Absolutely. It's the only forum software I run.
Ah, nice. It looks great.
+1 on that. In terms of paid software, XenForo is definitely the best and I absolutely love it.
Like locally hosted?
It does seem to have proper forum sections as a normal forum would. Not as extensive as a proper forum software like XF or IPB but the basics are there. It's definitely weird to navigate around and get used to though.
