TownThread gives your neighborhood its own private, organized forum — with your name, your rules, and zero algorithm. Live in 24 hours. We handle everything technical.
They work fine for sharing memes. They fall apart for running a neighborhood.
You tell us about your neighborhood. We handle every technical detail. No IT person needed.
Fill out a short form — community name, subdomain, plan, and which categories you need. No technical decisions required.
We provision a private server, configure categories, set up branding, and send your admin login — all within 24 hours.
We give you a ready-to-forward invitation email. A quick 30-min onboarding call with us and your community is running.
The biggest worry we hear from boards: "We'll set this up and no one will join." In practice, the opposite happens. When residents get an organized, private space that's actually theirs, they show up.
Most decisions like this need a vote, a treasurer's sign-off, or a board meeting. Here's everything you need to bring this to your board — ready to copy and paste.
Purpose-built for HOAs and neighborhood associations — not repurposed from a generic chat tool.
Invite-only or approval-gated. No outsiders, no bots, no anonymous trolls — just actual neighbors.
Every community gets yourhood.townthread.org — not a tab in someone else's platform.
Updates, backups, security — all handled. No board member needs to know what a server is.
Know who's engaged, which topics resonate, and how your community grows — delivered monthly.
Residents can follow from their phone or get a weekly digest — however they prefer to stay connected.
Announcements, Safety, Events, Recommendations, Lost & Found — conversations go where they belong.
One-time $149 setup fee, then a flat monthly rate. No per-member fees, no ads, no contracts.
Claim your subdomain now — we'll have your community forum live within 24 hours. No technical knowledge needed on your end.
