The Thakurcat Story Forum
🕑 Added 2021-01-09 02:13:34 +0000 UTCHello, folks! So, I messed something up on my website, and the forum is currently down. I have to figure out how to get a modern version of the forum to restore it, and I'm not sure at all if I'll have to reenter everyone's account information.
The website also costs me about 200 dollars to run per year, which wasn't a problem when I was writing three stories a month. But now I'm wondering if the website isn't useful enough to justify that cost.
In the meantime, many of my supporters have joined my Discord. I know that not everyone has or wants to join a Discord, but I don't know how many people fall in this category. I would like to conduct a poll to see what YOU would like to see. Please let me know.
If I move operations to Discord, I would like to let you know that all Patrons would gain access to early access, $1 or $3, and you can feel free to lower your pledge if that suits you.
Please let me know if you have other suggestions or concerns!
Thanks.

I need some more feedback from the 4 people who want to see the TSF restored. Is there another way? I'm willing to share google doc links through SF private chat as long as it doesn't end up being more than like 10 people. Because I'm very tempted to avoid the 200+ dollars per year and the headache of figuring out how to restore the forums. I've never liked the font controls of the stories I post there, either.
Yeah - my Discord channel is definitely much more the community I was hoping to create on the forum.
Discord is fine, especially if you were to post the stories in a multi-platform file format, or maybe even a couple formats. Cheaper for you, and likely less work. I haven't seen more than 1 or 2 real conversations on the forum in the last year anyway. Those are some expensive convos!
