As I write this we have just under 2000 users online, which is certainly not people in the bulk. This forum is provided through Bob's ISP which isn't charging for bandwidth (but I don't know if we can ever convert to HTTPS).
So far as privacy, ever since BlackAeronaut's recent post that contained lots of things that probably shouldn't have been mentioned outside of confidential therapy sessions, I've been thinking we need a private forum section for posts like that where we're intending to talk to friends, not every agentic AI and its brother. It wouldn't really be private, since lots of parties could MITM over HTTP, but it at least be a place where we could talk only between a man, his friends, his God, and of course his government.
