There are open source alternatives, but maintaining the infrastructure is probably more work than just paying for a cloud hosted solution at our age.

I do like the idea of Discord since you can create channels much like the subforums, but the use of threads aren't very good last time I checked and I also don't know how many people actually use Discord on RS.

Private subreddits could work, but seeing comments in a reddit thread wouldn't bump the post to the the top of the subreddit like vBulletin. And sorting comments sucks.

I'm in favour of migrating to another cloud platform.
