Hi Alexander,   Sounds like you're working on some exciting stuff.  Great that you're tapping into the Community in the planning phases already! 🙂   Can help answer a few of your questions....   Lithium offers a hosted Community solution, so it's all available via the web.  I don't think they offer an on-premise option, but I could be mistaken.   You can easily make a specific forum board have read-only access, if you wanted.  It's just a matter of drilling down to that specific forum board and denying the permissions for users to "create forum threads" and "reply to forum threads" (or whatever those specific settings are called).   It's pretty easy to move threads or single posts to other locations in the forum.  You just select "move thread" or "move post" and then use a folder drill-down tree to select the location you would like to move it to. You can leave a placeholder link and text (e.g. explaining why you moved it) in the original location.  If you want to combine post(s) with an existing thread, you have to look at the unique forum thread and pull that # into the process, so that takes a bit of time & isn't as intuitive, but it's not hard.   Hope that helps, and good luck! ...
