History

2017

Discourse was initially trialed at PS:One around 2017 with mixed results and generally low adoption, in part because of the existence of the original Google Groups. The original instance of Discourse was turned off on 2017-05-04. The backup of the data/messages in the forum is being held by the CTO. In 2017 the DNS entry for the then-idle Discourse instance was removed.

2019

The board elected to adopt a new Discourse to allow members to communicate more effectively, differentiate content, allow for easier management of members and moderation in the group.
