Since we’re an ad-free platform, there needs to be some sort of way to make money from it. I thought, in an age where most people are simply fed up with the world of ads, why not go back to square one, and start as a subscription-based model? And, not to mention, I’d say most people won’t have the need to upgrade to a paid plan anytime soon after they start posting content, anyway. 5 GB goes a long way!

Please note that this platform yet has no data populated. We'd appreciate the early population of interesting discussions, to make the site a living, breathing web app. Feedback is appreciated!

Just turned the "search engine" into a discussion platform. Decided a good way to have the platform populated with data, was by turning it into that, rather than the search engine it once was, which was a horrendous failure, due to the weak crawler, which was responsible for the bad results you all saw in your experience with the platform. I kept the search functionality, but as you may have already figured, it doesn't search for web results, rather discussions posted by users on the platform.

Hey all, I just looked at your comments! As critical as these comments were, it was obvious constructive feedback was the intention, which I really appreciate. Good time to realize it's time for a massive re-engineering and redesign of this miserable failure of a project, quite frankly.
