Why Our Forum Costs $3 per Month

Running a private, ad‑free, data‑secure community creates real monthly costs:
servers, bandwidth, backups, security certificates, and human moderation.
Most “free” platforms cover those bills by tracking users and selling their
data. We refuse to do that, so we charge a small subscription instead.

What “free” sites do

• Harvest clicks, location, and reading habits to build ad profiles
• Sell those profiles to data brokers and marketers
• Push outrage and click‑bait to keep users scrolling

What we do instead

• Collect only the minimal information needed for your account
• Keep your data on encrypted servers and never share or sell it
• Focus on respectful, high‑quality conversations among people who care

Your $3 monthly fee covers

1. Fast, reliable hosting with real‑time backups and security
2. Privacy features that eliminate third‑party trackers
3. Human moderation that keeps trolls out
4. Ongoing development guided by member feedback, not advertisers

What you get

• A quiet, focused space to share knowledge
• Discussions that stay inside the forum instead of feeding algorithms
• Direct contact with moderators and developers who answer to you

For less than the price of a coffee each month, you keep our lights on and keep your data yours.
