But does it already surpass the limits?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s close if not passed 100k monthly views already. 

The big unknown is also around the mailing list support. Is it super robust and work as well for communicating as the mailing currently does? I don’t know. I’ve not been involved with large projects on discourse.
