Sorry, I have to do a little nitpicking...

Since we're writing everything from scratch, I think now would be a good opportunity to call threads something else. It's a remnant of mailing lists, which forum software evolved from. It's weird to keep using that term. No one else is using it anymore.

I like the term discussion.

Any thoughts?

Discourse and NodeBB call it a topic.

I'm fine with anything, I was just naming it "Thread" for legacy reasons. "Topic" seems the best fit for me, as discussion is very similar to "conversations" (which I plan to use rather than Private Messages).

Yeah topic seems good and short enough.

I think it's clear this is consensus ...let's go with it
