I am a retired LEO and IT professional.
I have been involved in some type of communication platforms from the mid 80's when I ran a multi-line BBS under OS/2.
I now run one primary website (Xenforo) that deals with astronomy and astrophotography but do tech work for a friend that is using NodeBB on a Xenforo alternative support site (first listed site) and then I run two for myself on the same VPS.
