Re: [OpenSCAD] Server Crash
It doesn't have to be free, just cost effective.
Self-hosting as an option is preferrable. Right now I try to be lean so I
use cheap providers anywhere I can, but we can probably take a hit doing
some sysadmin work to set things up properly on a VPS or smth. as we might
in the future use ads as a way of paying for infrastructure.
Servers will likely run Ubuntu or something similar.
The technical requirement/wish is basically to have a web forum with an
email option, I guess pretty much how google groups or github issues work.

I've tried subscribing before. Tried again now, so we'll see what happens.
I've googled around for some forums now. There are lots of free ones, but
haven't found one which will send all thread posts as e-mails yet.

Google group forums are great for this.

You know, it's really odd that this subject pops up here right now.
I just built a forum for someone using SMF. I think it has the email
functionality you are talking about, or at least part of it. I've never
messed with the email stuff myself, at least not yet, so I'm not sure if
it does everything you want. You might want to look into that.
It's pretty good as forum software goes. It certainly is popular. The
SMF team uses it as their support forum, of course, and that forum has
millions of posts in hundreds of thousands of topics by hundreds of
thousands of users in like fifty languages.
I like it because all of its basic functionality, including posting,
works fine and looks great even if you're using a script blocker. Try
that with Google Groups.
If it does everything you want, it wouldn't be hard to set up. Maybe an
hour or so.
I can get you one for nuthin'.

I just checked about this.
The user can ask for email notifications of new posts. This can be done
per topic or per board.
By default, a user can't reply to an email and have that show up in the
forum. But someone built an extension to do that:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=168
It's from about eight years ago, and SMF has had a major upgrade since
then, so I don't know if it still works. But all this stuff is open
source of course.
Anybody good at PHP?

Ignore previous post, here is the mod you want I think:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2843
It's compatible with the latest stable version. I have not tested this
mod myself, but it's got a thousand downloads and the latest update is
from October, so that's a good sign...

You just said the mailing list was down anyways. <- This also applies to
MichaelAtOz trying to help topics reach the mailing list. :)
Can the mailing list be configured to allow emails even from people who
weren't subscribed?

I would strongly recommend Phorum http://www.phorum.org/. Reprap's forums
http://forums.reprap.org/ use it, it is free, and apparently has a complete
2-way forum to mailing list integration system
http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?62,140380,140380#msg-140380.
I use the Reprap forums quite a lot, and I can say with certainty that I
like it waaaay more than vBulletin. Definitely the one I would go for.

It’s been up in the new location for some hours already :)
All existing subscribers should have gotten a welcome email.
