For a aktiv community is this forum Platform possible better:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse
Thanks for the idea!
We've chosen Wordpress as content management and spiced it up with wpForo to get this forum up and running quickly. The beauty here is not the forum but the user management integration. Combining all services like donations, forum, newsletter and content management in one system provides a seamless user experience. Otherwise users need to register twice or we need to focus on integrating discourse which takes time that can not be used for moving the project forward.
@Oliver: If you feel like integrating discourse with Wordpress and want to maintain this integration over time you are very welcome. Drop us a line at voluntary@eBlocker.org
