Wishing we could use the Readymag forum framework in our own sites

I recently was contracted to create a website for an organization that wants to create a dedicated online social platform. We want to keep the users on the site as much as possible through the means of a private forum for members. We could potentially create a facebook group, but again, that drives away traffic from the site. I absolutely love the aesthetic and ease-of-use of the Readymag forum, and I think it would be incredible if they could allow their paid users to create their own forums. Does anyone feel similarly?

well, you could set up your forum with e.g. https://www.discourse.org/
(like this forum)
