Thanks! GF has a history - it was a forum of mine years ago, which I then sold to an ex FP admin. I then got ownership back, and was unable to continue on the project for a bit. I was working on a custom forum software for it in PHP/SQL but unfortunately over the years I eventually lost the last & final backup of that. In hindsight, that's a good thing - it was super old code that would need to be updated and I'm sure I had tech debt I wouldn't enjoy.
I went on to make Discuss.Software, which I linked below, but that deserves an entire thread of its own.

Forums.cx - I really, really like this one to be honest guys & gals. It makes me think of the following:
- Literally any type of forum would be a great fit here. Especially with the format: Forums.cx/sports/ , Forums.cx/gaming/ , etc.
- Could be support forums for a variety of products (forums.cx/apple/iphone/ , forums.cx/microsoft/windows/10 ...). CX is customer experience.
- Could interpret 'CX' as Currency Exchange, making a forex/financial themed forum.
- Possibly a new home for a custom community forum software I built here:
https://discuss.generalforum.org/join
- Hosting NodeBB instances (like yourUsername.forums.cx) - although this is mostly just to fulfill a dream of mine from over a decade & a half ago... to provide SaaS forum hosting. Not sure if I want to go this route anymore, but I do like finishing bucketlists.
- Another thought about 'CX' for Customer Experience - I have even thought about making a SaaS Forum platform that lets big companies sign up and access a private forum that they can invite their customers & employees into (hosted, but with a custom domain on it, not just a subdomain).
- I work with enterprise companies already IRL, so this feels reasonable and fills a gap. Not many people are really providing enterprise forums or headless forums. Big companies still have organization problems where things are scattered across systems. Perhaps a modern take on forums, intended for big enterprise is needed.

One last thing:
---> If you buy Forums.cx and you want help setting up a forum software like XF, MyBB, IPB, etc just let me know. I can assist.
