I use Slack because it's fast and more organized than discord. The live chat is key for me so I haven't used any forums software yet, but I may in the future.
@dhruv_bhatia I used to manage a community called SaaS hackers that was fairly engaged. I think we had almost 1000 paid members and it was quite active over the year I was there.
Thousands of msgs were sent per day and some online events would see 100-200+ attendees.
The community I'm building hasn't started yet. I write emails and some folks have been pre-buying memberships at a discounted rate. I'll be onboarding them one by one to make sure everything's smooth.
It'll be a community for business leaders and founders.
If you'd like to keep an eye on how it goes let me know and I can send you the link to subscribe
