These forums were created by and are maintained and operated by Gleb Mazovetskiy. This is a personal project not related to any company nor institution.

Moderators of the forums are volunteers, each an expert in their field.

A handful of trusted people have access to the deployment secrets, increasing the bus factor.

Technology

These forums are powered by Thredded, an open-source MIT-licensed Ruby on Rails forum engine.

TeX math support is powered by KaTeX. Code highlighting is powered by CodeRay.

These forums are fully-functional without JavaScript and work well on mobile devices.
