Hi!  
Can I ask for an integration of the forum [answers.n.com](http://answers.n.com) in the Api. Every member of the forum has [this page](https://answers.netlify.com/u/tik9/activity). Can you integrate this in the [`user` section](https://open-api.netlify.com/#tag/user) with a property like **forumactivity**? If the user is not active, then it should return `false`. I think that every member and customer should contribute to the forum, what do you think? Therefore an api might be good to show it. I know that I can link to my forum activity, but an api connection is missing.

Hey @tik9

The Netlify API interacts with Netlify, the platform. These forums are separate is that they run on Discourse. Discourse has a separate API

Netlify has _(according to the homepage)_ millions of developers and businesses. I don’t believe asking or requiring every one of them to contribute to the forums is viable.

Why? Are you wanting to display on a separate site who is or isn’t using the forums? I don’t understand your motivation here.
