Your community, your rules
Subreddits are easy to start but you're renting space. A forum means your community is truly yours.
Own vs rent your community
Reddit gives you instant access to a huge audience. But you don't control the platform, the rules, or your member data.

Your rules, your way
Set moderation policies that fit your community. No worrying about platform-wide bans or rule changes.
