I posted this in a conversation, but couldn't figure out how to add a user (like @bastecklein) to the convo.
Anyway, I'm curious about the new forums. They seem to be missing many features one is used to in a forum, most importantly the ability to be notified when topics are updated (without needing a RSS app). I know they're still being written, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts to write your own forums from scratch, instead of using existing forum software. I'm partial to Discourse myself (full disclosure, I was hired by Discourse last month, but I've used Discourse for 2+ years before that) - and I think it would be a great solution. Discourse is free and open source, so please don't interpret this as a "sales pitch".
