You meant Discourse. I can think of one "advantage." You can lock
threads, delete posts, and ban people more easily. For example:

https://discourse.bemanproject.org/t/participation-in-beman-project/194

In this post I asked if I was welcome to participate in the Beman
project, referencing the aspect of its code of conduct which refers to
off-platform behavior. Jeff Garland replied and asked me why I would
want to participate. I explained to him that the benefits to a greater
number of users who adopt Mr. Docs for documenting their proposed
libraries outweigh  the disadvantages of working with people who
dislike me. David Sankel then locked the thread. And now it seems he
has deleted the thread. My question was never answered.

I'd rather not see this style of moderation come to places where Boost
discussions take place, thank you.
