AO3 needs forums

It drives me nuts that they don't have them. They say that coding and moderation teams are why they don't have them, but I'm not really sure I buy into that. Coding, sure. AO3's coding is kind of a mess. But if they attached the forums to collections and let comments be flagged for inappropriateness, there wouldn't be much moderation to be had. FFN has forums, and it doesn't explode.

But man, AO3 could be the perfect fandom place if it just had an area for proper discussion.

Does anyone know how to do this sort of coding? I'm seriously about to start a campaign to get forums on AO3.

I'm right now staying in my mum's attic, since I have nowhere else to be. She decided she wanted to go up there and organise stuff as best she could, so I went up ahead of her to move my stuff out of the way as best I could.

She went up, and then came back down about thirty seconds later and said, "Fuck it, I'll do it later."

Apparently she's going to wait until I've moved out to organise up there lol.

This is an experiment
