With over 5,000 members, they have outgrown Slack as a platform and want to provide a more scalable and helpful community experience. The new forum, created using Strapi as a CMS, allows users to post questions, receive responses from both the PostHog team and the wider community, and select preferred solutions. The forum is integrated into other parts of the website, such as the PostHog docs, and profiles allow users to track discussions and display achievements. The public Slack group will be archived on January 12 and permanently closed on January 22, but private Slack channels for paying users will continue to function normally. ## Highlights > ith over 5,000 members in the community, it's become clear we've outgrown Slack as a platform.
