Please offer a solution to enable stuff like this for self hosters. If the concern is server resources; perhaps have an "advanced features" add-on and make it clear you need to have control of your own box of a VPS to use it. I will /never/ migrate to the cloud as I need control of my own box. There are many loyal long-term customers at risk of being lost with this direction.

It would really be appreciated if IPS stopped the cloud hard-sell. Self-hosting is a requirement for many people. You should sell a value-added service (monthly) to cover things that are services as an optional add-on for self hosted users at a bare minimum. 

Some of the features which are cloud only, such as live threads, should be simply given to self-hosted users with a "this only works if you can configure your server / use at your own risk" disclaimer. I will not be switching to cloud, and many customers feel this way. Please listen to us. You will lose customers if you keep on this path, I guarantee it. If there's much more strongarm tactics to force people onto cloud services, I will not be here long.
Then please, ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT it.

This is great news.
The people who REALLY will want this will be the club creators themselves. ;-)
Any idea on how to make this info available to them?
