Never wonder why your post was removed again.

Good posters earn tips as credits to post more.

You're someone who wants to post and get messaged without wading through spam, low-effort noise, or content nobody actually wanted to see.

Do you feel like most forums either drown in low-effort posts, or every DM in your inbox turns out to be a pitch you never asked for?

Blocking a spammer after the fact doesn't stop the next one, and a forum with no real moderation just fills back up with noise the moment you look away.

Wouldn't it be great if the noise got filtered out before it ever reached you, not after you'd already wasted time on it?

Turns out you can. Every post, comment, and DM runs through an AI check before it's ever shown to anyone: posts and comments against the forum's own topic rules, DMs against a bouncer rule you write yourself. The check reads the pages your links point to as well, so a harmless sentence can't smuggle in a spam or phishing link. If a message gets turned away, the sender sees exactly why immediately; it just never reaches your inbox. That check stops spam and off-topic content, not mediocre-but-technically-on-topic posts. Quality is what tipping and the trending ranking are for, surfacing what people actually found useful rather than what merely cleared the gate. The check costs at least 1 credit either way, and every post shows what its check cost, so spamming isn't free, and a rejected post just wastes the sender's own credits for nothing.

You get Reloadium Forums: public forums for genuine, on-topic discussion, plus a private DM inbox that only people who actually match your rule can reach. Posting stays almost free, at least 1 credit per check, and you start with 100 free credits, plus 100 more once you sign in with an account. You're anonymous from the start too: no email or real name required, an optional nickname if you ever want one, and it never reveals who you are.

Key Features

Built-in Agentic AI Assistant

Every Reloadium app comes with a built-in agentic AI assistant. It can perform any task the app offers — just describe what you want in plain language. Attach images or documents, keep a persistent conversation history, and let the AI act on your behalf — no extra setup required.

Request a Forum

Anyone can request a new, topic-focused forum. An admin reviews and approves it before it goes live, keeping the directory focused and spam-free.

Trending Feed

Posts across every forum are ranked by a trending score that weighs recency, comments, and tips, so the best discussions rise to the top of the homepage and the dedicated trending page.

AI-Assisted Replies

Request an AI-generated reply on a new post or comment to help kick-start a discussion. It reads the forum's rules and the pages you linked to, and can come with a card showing the options, steps, or figures it gives. Optionally have it checked against a web search, in which case it lists its sources.

Cards Built From Your Post

Press "Suggest widgets" before you post and AI turns what your post already says into cards: pros and cons, a comparison, a timeline, a chart, a 2×2 grid, a diagram, a quiz, or a map of the places you mention. You preview them and keep up to three; the moderator checks each one against your text, and readers can open any card full-screen. A comment can carry one card too.

AI Moderation

New posts, comments, and first messages are screened by AI moderation before publishing — including the pages their links point to. Each linked page is kept as a short public AI summary, never a copy of its text, and every post shows what its check cost.

Tip Good Contributions

Tip posts and comments you find valuable — the author receives the credits you tip, so good contributors earn real, spendable credits. Tipping uses credits you've purchased.

Optional Nicknames

Post anonymously by default, or set a public nickname once so your posts and comments are recognizable across every forum without revealing your identity.

Gatekept Direct Messages

Write a bouncer rule describing who you'll accept a DM from — an AI checks every first message against it before it ever reaches your inbox, and lets free follow-ups through once you accept someone. Start from tested example rules, block anyone for good, and edit or delete your own messages.

Public Profiles

Add an optional bio, and see posts, comments, and tips sent and received on your public profile — plus a people directory showing each member's bio and who they're open to hearing from.

Find the Right Person

Search everyone who's open to DMs by name, bio, or what they say they want to hear about. Each result shows their bouncing rule, so you know what a message to them has to look like before you write it — and the cost estimate updates as you type.

Context That Travels With the Thread

Every conversation records, right in the flow, what the recipient's bio and rule said when it was let in and why the bouncer accepted it. Reopen a closed conversation later and the new context appears between the old and new messages.

An Assistant That Drafts, You Send

Ask the chat assistant — from any Reloadium app — to read a conversation, search the forums for who and where, and draft a DM, post, comment, or forum request. It never sends or posts anything itself: each draft opens pre-filled in the real form or message box for you to review, edit, and submit. Press "Ask AI" under any post or comment to open the assistant already pointed at it.

How It Works

1

Browse or Request a Forum

Explore the forum directory and trending feed, or request a new topic-focused forum if the one you want doesn't exist yet.
2

Post & Comment

Start a post in any approved forum, then reply to others — every submission passes a quick AI moderation check before it's published.
3

Add Cards to Your Post

Optionally press "Suggest widgets" to turn the options, numbers, or steps in your post into cards, then remove any you don't want before you submit.
4

Get an AI-Assisted Reply

Ask AI to generate a genuinely useful first reply to a new post, using the forum's own name and rules as context.
5

Tip What's Useful

Tip the posts and comments that helped you most — the author gets the credits — and track your own posts, replies, and the tips you've received from your public profile.
6

Message the Right People

Search for members by what they're open to, read their bouncing rule, and write a message that fits it — or let the assistant draft it for you to review and send.

Perfect For

Niche Communities

Start a forum around a specific topic that doesn't have a dedicated home elsewhere, and let a community grow around it organically.

Getting Quick Answers

Post a question in a relevant forum and request an AI-assisted reply while you wait for real community members to weigh in.

Make a Long Post Scannable

Posting a decision, a build log, or a set of benchmarks? Let the cards carry the structure — a radar chart of your ratings, a timeline of your plan, a pros and cons list — so readers get the shape of it before they read every paragraph.

Explain, Then Let Readers Check

Writing a how-to or an explainer? Attach a short quiz made from your own post, so readers can test what they took from it without leaving the page.

Rewarding Contributors

Use tips to reward the most helpful answers with real credits, surfacing quality contributions independent of the trending algorithm.

Anonymous Discussion

Discuss sensitive or personal topics without attaching your real identity — post anonymously or under a nickname of your choosing.

Direct, Spam-Free Outreach

Message someone about their post or expertise without cold-DM spam — your bouncer rule filters out anything that doesn't match what you're actually open to.

Recruiting Without the Spam

Candidates: write a rule that only lets through recruiters who name the company, team, remote policy, and pay. Recruiters: find people who say they're open to exactly your kind of role, and write to their rule.

Ask an Expert

Experts set a rule asking for the specifics — the query, the output, what you already tried — so the questions that reach them are the ones worth answering, and "can I pick your brain?" never does.

Let Your Assistant Do the Drafting

Ask the assistant to catch up on a conversation and draft the reply, to comment on a post you found, or to write a forum request that follows the rules a real post has to pass — then review it and send it yourself.

Powered by Advanced AI

Reloadium Forums pairs a fast, server-rendered read path with lightweight AI on the write side.

Server-side rendered forum, post, and profile pages for fast loads and full SEO indexability
React 19 with TypeScript for the interactive posting, commenting, tipping, and messaging islands
Gemini AI via cloud functions for post/comment moderation, reading linked pages, AI-assisted replies, suggesting post widgets, and gatekeeping DMs against your bouncer rule
Post widgets share one implementation with the chat assistant's cards, so a chart or quiz looks and computes the same in a chat and on a post — and each one is also served as plain text for search engines and readers without JavaScript
Firestore for posts, comments, forums, conversations, and tipping records
Anonymous Firebase Auth by default, with an optional public nickname
Guarded server-side fetching of linked pages (public addresses only, redirects re-checked) so the moderator can review what a link actually points to
WebMCP tools that let the chat assistant search forums and people, read your own conversations, and produce draft cards — read-only, with the final send always yours

Privacy & Data

Posting is anonymous by default — your identity stays yours to reveal or not.

Every account starts as an anonymous, uid-based identity — no email or real name required to post
Setting a nickname is entirely optional and only makes your existing posts recognizable, it doesn't reveal who you are
AI moderation and AI-assisted replies only ever see the post or comment text itself (plus the pages it links to), nothing else about you
Post widgets are made only from that post's title and text, and only when you press the button — a suggestion you remove is never published
A map on a post is drawn from places looked up once, when the author asks for it; its background images come from OpenStreetMap and only load when you press "Show map"
Direct messages are private to the sender and recipient — only your bouncer rule and profile bio are public, and both are AI-checked before saving, never shared beyond that
Tipping moves credits from your balance to the author's balance — no separate payment details are collected, and each tip is recorded (who tipped whom, and how much)
Linked pages are only summarised: what's stored and shown is a short AI summary of each page and a fingerprint to spot later changes, never a copy of the page's text
The chat assistant only reads your direct messages when you ask it to, treats what's in them as text to read rather than instructions, and can't send a message or publish a post for you
Who you've blocked is visible only to you, and deleting one of your own messages leaves a "Message deleted" line in its place

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to post?

You're signed in anonymously by default, so you can post and comment right away. Setting a nickname is optional and only makes your posts recognizable across forums.

How do I start a new forum?

Use the "Request a new forum" toggle on the homepage. An admin reviews each request and approves it before the forum appears in the directory.

How does the trending feed work?

Posts are ranked by a trending score that factors in recency, comment count, and tips received, so active, well-received discussions rise to the top.

What does AI moderation check for?

Every post and comment is screened by AI before it's published to catch spam, abuse, and clearly off-topic content for the forum it's posted in — and if it links somewhere, the AI reads that page too. What's kept is a short summary of each linked page, never its text.

What is an AI-assisted reply?

On a new post or comment, you can request an AI-generated reply that uses the forum's name and rules, and the pages your text links to, as context to kick-start discussion. It may come with one card (a comparison, a timeline, a chart…) made in the same step and labelled as AI-generated. You can also ask for the reply to be checked against a web search; it then lists the pages it drew on, and costs more. It costs Reloadium credits, with the estimate shown before you confirm.

What are post widgets?

Cards attached to a post that organise what it already says: pros and cons, a comparison of options, a timeline, a chart, a 2×2 grid, a diagram of how things connect, a short quiz, or a map of the places it mentions with the route between them. Press "Suggest widgets" in the post form, preview what the AI proposes, and keep up to three on a post or one on a comment. Asking costs Reloadium credits, with the estimate shown next to the button.

Can a widget say something my post doesn't?

No. A widget's facts — every option, step, number, and name — have to come from your post, and the moderator checks each widget against your text when you submit. One that adds or contradicts something is left off without rejecting the post, and you're told which one and why. Ratings such as importance scores are the card's own judgement, which you review before posting.

How do maps on posts work?

If your post names real places, a suggested widget can be a map with a pin on each one and, when the post describes travelling between them, the route. The places are looked up and the route computed once, when you ask for suggestions, so check the pins in the preview before you post. Readers first see the list of places; the map itself loads when they press "Show map".

How does tipping work?

Tipping a post or comment sends some of your purchased Reloadium credits to its author, who can spend them like any other credit, and adds to that item's trending score. Free credits can't be tipped, and credits you've received as tips can't be tipped onward.

Can I edit or delete my own posts?

Yes. Your own posts and comments show edit and delete controls that aren't visible to anyone else.

Can I change a post's widgets later?

Yes. Editing your post shows its widgets: remove any of them, or ask for new suggestions — the ones you kept are taken into account, so you don't get the same card twice. They're checked again against the edited text.

How do direct messages work?

Anyone can message you, but your bouncer rule — a plain-English description of what you'll accept — decides whether an AI lets the first message through to your inbox, links included. Sending it costs credits whether or not it's accepted, and you see an estimate before you send; once accepted, replying back and forth is free until either side closes the conversation. Each conversation shows, in the flow, what the recipient's bio and rule said when it was let in and why.

Can I add a bio to my profile?

Yes — set an optional bio alongside your nickname from your profile page. Like your nickname, it's checked by AI before saving and costs credits, since it's shown publicly.

Can I check what a message will cost before sending it?

Yes. The first message to someone shows a credit estimate as you type, and it counts any links, since the AI reads those pages too. Follow-ups in an accepted conversation are free.

Are the links in DMs checked?

Links in the first message are read by the AI bouncer along with the text. After a conversation is accepted, replies aren't checked, so opening a link there asks you to confirm the address first.

How do I stop someone from messaging me?

Block them from the conversation. It closes the thread, and they can't send anything or reopen it, without spending or being charged anything. You can unblock them any time from your inbox settings.

Can I edit or delete my direct messages?

Yes, your own messages. Editing happens in the message box with an "Editing message" bar, and deleting leaves a "Message deleted" line so the conversation still reads in order.

What can the chat assistant do with forums and DMs?

From any Reloadium app it can search forums and people, read your own conversations when you ask, and draft a DM, post, comment, or forum request. It never sends or posts anything: each draft is a card with a button that opens the real form or message box pre-filled, and you review, edit, and submit it yourself. "Ask AI" under a post or a comment opens it with that post or comment attached to your message, so you only add your question; it can then answer about that exact comment or draft a reply to it.

Can I reopen a closed conversation?

If you started it, yes: choose "Message again". It costs credits and goes through their bouncer again under their current rule, and the new context appears in the thread between the old messages and the new one.
