I'm actually looking for something like this. Discourse pricing seems to be around $100 per month minimum for a group of 500? It's a huge leap from the forums where minimum cost is about $8/month.

It's open-source and easy to self-host: https://blog.discourse.org/2014/04/install-discourse-in-unde...
Ah, I missed that. Thank you!
Discourse is free software [0], you can simply host it elsewhere, the pricing you're looking at is their managed option, which while convenient absolutely isn't necessary.

Self hosting seems like a bad idea if you're a random club for vintage cars or something and don't have IT staff. What happens when someone finds a 0day? Or some browser feature changes and nothing works until you update?
