Likelihood to Recommend	Civilized Discourse Construction Kit Inc. [Discourse is by] far the best online forum platform in the industry. It may be a little pricey for people looking for a cheap option for their hobby forum, but for any type of business that relies on a forum, the pricing is more than fair.

Pros	Civilized Discourse Construction Kit Inc. User Privileges : Teams, Trust Levels, Moderation, Private and Public Threads make it possible to have as much transparency, privacy or power decentralization as one wishes. Gamification: Badges and Achievements can be customized for User Activity and frequent readers and writers. Mailing List mode: Users can choose to use forum threads without the User Interface by subscribing via mailing list mode.

Cons	Civilized Discourse Construction Kit Inc. Some configuration UIs are difficult to follow Not well-suited for managing workflows (grant management as an example) Bulk operations across multiple threads either impossible or difficult to figure out Incentivized David McCann Software Engineer Read full review	Invision Power Services, Inc.

Alternatives Considered	Civilized Discourse Construction Kit Inc. Vanilla's mobile functionality was downright awful and it felt like it was stuck in the 2000s. While they have similar features, Discourse blows them away in almost every department. We don't regret switching at all.

Return on Investment	Civilized Discourse Construction Kit Inc. Community Members are eager to jump into the discussion. Conversations can be tracked easier without the risk of being lost in a sea of messages as people tend to construct their posts more carefully than on any workspace messenger. It's open source and configurable with many other add-ons to help integration with other services. Incentivized Elio Qoshi Creative Lead Read full review	Invision Power Services, Inc.
