Torum is a self-hosted, Tor-native discussion forum modeled after Hacker News. It runs entirely as a Tor hidden service, accessible only through the Tor network via a .onion address. All data is stored locally in an SQLite database, and the entire application is managed through a single interactive shell script. Designed for operators who want to run a private or semi-private community forum with no reliance on clearnet infrastructure, third-party services, or cloud hosting.
Yes, sorry haven't been here in awhile sorry.
This project was created with AI assistance.
[Me] Design - architecture, system design
[Ai] Implementation - production code
[Me] Testing - I've been testing live for a few weeks on various platforms for reliability and performance Bug hunting / feature tweaks.
[Ai - proofread and adjusted for accuracy by Me] Documentation - Docs, comments, README, change logs.
No worries, its a new rule following a slew of posts from brand new users promo'ing fully generated projects (and a pretty hefty community response as a result)
Thanks!

The OP's disclosure doesn't meet the requirements you laid out for proper disclosure. At this early stage I would suggest removing posts that only partially meet the criteria, otherwise you will spend a lot of time handholding posters. Or, if low quality disclosures are allowed, then it dilutes the effect of the rules immensely. I know you want to be patient with people, but proper enforcement now will pay off in the long run!
