In Discourse, topics are cheap (for playing games!)

So, uh, I’m gonna run a game soon. Here, in the forums (and probably a little on jabber). I’m not ready yet, but I will be! Soon!

And while I’m setting up, I wanted to point out that in Discourse-land (the warez that runs the talkgroup site), topics and threads, they are cheap! You can create as many as needed!

I should probably make some kind of disclaimer or something, about what is “within reason”. I don’t want to burn up IDs in the database for nonsense stuff. Like, I don’t mind a separate thread for every magic item in your game, but maybe not one for every magic item in D&D.

A soft limit! If you feel like you will create more than 200 new topics (these are topic level threads, that have a subject) a month, let’s discuss. There is probably a better way.

I say that as I get ready to basically use a sub-category as an asynchronous group chat. :slight_smile:
