既然 bitcoin.sourceforge.net 上的论坛开始有人气了，我们真该找个免费托管完整论坛软件的地方。Bitweaver 的论坛功能太简单了。我想，首页的“论坛”选项卡应该可以链接到论坛实际托管的任何地方。
Now that the forum on bitcoin.sourceforge.net is catching on, we really should look for somewhere that freehosts full blown forum software. The bitweaver forum feature is just too lightweight. I assume the "Forum" tab on the homepage can link out to wherever the forum is hosted.
我见过一些项目，甚至还没有代码，只靠论坛讨论和不切实际的规划，就有了大量追随者。论坛讨论多，能让项目在网上更有存在感，增加搜索命中，让它显得规模大，吸引新用户，帮助解答使用问题，并讨论清楚大家最想要哪些功能。
I've seen projects that have major following just from forum talk and pie-in-the-sky planning without even having any code yet. Having a lot of forum talk gives a project more presence on the net, more search hits, makes it look big, draws new users in, helps solve support questions, hashes out what features are most of wanted.
如果能支持 SSL，那就很加分；即使不能全站支持，至少登录页要有。论坛上已有多人表示对 TOR/I2P 感兴趣，而这些用户需要 SSL，因为很多 TOR 出口节点可能是身份窃贼运营的密码窃取器。对比特币最感兴趣的人，很大一部分会来自重视隐私的群体。
It would be a big plus if it could support SSL, at least for the login page if not sitewide. Multiple people on the forum have expressed interest in TOR/I2P, and those users need SSL because a lot of TOR exit nodes are probably password scrapers run by identity thieves. A lot of the core interest in Bitcoin is going to be from the privacy crowd.
你知道哪里能弄到免费论坛吗？也许我们该看看其他一些项目把论坛托管在哪里，找找方向。
Any ideas where we can get a free forum? Maybe we should look at where some other projects have their forums hosted for ideas where to look.
