I've been writing and running a little Rails forum for about a month now for some friends!
I think I still have a little bit to go for a 1.0 for the software (mainly pagination, our forum is too small to require it yet) but think it's in a place where I can recommend it to others if you're interested in shaping development.
if you're interested in running a little forum for your friends or an existing community, check it out (and let me know so I start versioning!): https://github.com/hartsick/ruBB
somehow people never make that leap though they just want the private organizations to do good for everybody out of some sense of personal justice or idek
a state-owned institution, funded by the people and acting on their behalf and in their interests, has moral, legal, and political responsibilities to meet their needs.
a private organization doesn’t. a private organization certainly doesn’t have an obligation to meet the needs of EVERY person. they can just pick a subset.
if all the private organizations are picking subsets which don’t include you, that’s a strong argument for state ownership.
@noelle « Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope, that my Country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest. »

TARES is also good
you should definitely have both T and S in your first word because those letters are frequent combinators (without them H becomes much less likely); S at the end gives you peace of mind; L or R helps point you to/away from BL/PL/GL/CL and BR/PR/DR/TR/GR/CR
