Are you a fan of Charlie Day stuff, or did you go in more off the ideas of it? It sounds interesting skimming the Wikipedia page on it.

What did you think the gimmick was...? Going off the title I can only imagine something to do with poking fun at orcs being bad at economics...?

Is that Madam Web related to Spider-Man, or an entirely different Madam Web?

Litrpgs? Is that similar to a choose your own adventure sort of book?

This Poor Things, I take it? It definitely sounds different!

Diablo Cody stated that Lisa Frankenstein is set in the same fictional universe as Jennifer's Body.

...Did it carry those vibes after all this time, if you've watched Jennifer's Body before?

From The Kingkiller Chronicle? If so, oof, yeah that's been...A wait, for sure. I take it you've been occasionally rereading the first two books?

Which word would you employ to address those seeking power through the scapegoating and targeted discrimination of minorities and vulnerable populations?

Usually everyday people don’t setup forums, that’s the responsibility of the application owner(s) or provider.

By this do you mean official forums? If so I think this is kind of missing some of the independent forums for software (whether games or media players or the like) or other media, which some sorta-everyday people set up in the past. Many have migrated to Discord not only because it's easy but, I think, because it's simply more cost-effective.

Forums don't seem to be cheap. Discourse's own managed hosting goes for $50 a month, from one of their partners it's $20, and looks like somewhere in-between if you try to spin it up yourself (e.g. Digital Ocean droplet runs $4 a month, then add in domain, and mail-provider (~$20-35)). Looking at that, it's little wonder so many either opt for official forums, unofficial subreddits, Lemmy/Kbin communities, or Discord servers instead now.

Maybe if I dug around some more I could find some options for managed hosting (which makes more sense for regular people, I think, to deal with technical maintenance) for Discourse or the like that are cheaper, but I can't imagine one may find much that beats free. Unless there is something, unfortunately I guess we're kind of stuck with the situation as-is barring some pleasant exceptions.

Then you’ve got seamless integration with Vscode as a bonus, it’s more like why would you not use GitHub unless you have a specific problem with them.

Does GitHub still only permit one account? I remember looking into it awhile back and not wanting to get things mixed up between personal/professional arrangements and the one account policy put me off.

While I agree, what might everyday people use to set up forums as relatively easily and cheaply as their Discord servers, and not have them riddled with ads or other clunky elements?

I'm pretty sure those that may have even been considering forums went to Discord because the only other options were more involved in terms of set up/maintenance and cost, the latter to get something without ads.
