the last thing any startup needs is 4chan's wrath.

#33Do you have any plans to open source this for people who wants to install Moot on their own server? As a forum junkie, I'm excited about Moot, but I hope you do understand that to be successful as a platform you have to give the option to self-host :)
Why's that?

#34Interesting, but the inability to delete posts and host it myself make it useless for me. I want freedom, damnit.

#35I've built something very similar using Vert.x, which is sort of like Node on the JVM. But instead of Redis, we have full on state machines at the network turn publishing on the event bus. It's pretty sweet, and I hope to open source it soon.

You're right, the ents will be pissed ;)
It's a really good name for forum software - better than Discourse for a few reasons:
- one syllable, one easy phonetic spelling - archaic, so it won't be confused in everyday speech - it doesn't sound like it might do something else. Discourse could be online learning, golf venue rankings, etc.

The "Moot" brand is decidedly won by Chris Poole.

Totally agreed here. We love the name.

Our infrastructure is built as a service. I totally understand that many people want to run their forum on their own network and that's totally ok. There's plenty of products out there servicing that market.
If you were to compare us to blogging companies we're more inline with tumblr than wordpress. We're a service that makes it simple for anyone to add forums and commenting.
Our service obviously isn't for everyone, but we feel like there is a large market for simple to set up and manage forums that can integrate with little to no technical knowledge or expertise.
