The group of coders known as the Incognite Team, notably known for their projects: Antinalysis, Sector.city or their own Darknet Market, now, on Dec 19th respectively, launched their own Darknet Discussion Forum, the Libre Forum.
The forum can be found at http://libreeunomyly6ot7kspglmbd5cvlkogib6rozy43r2glatc6rmwauqd.onion
A place to discuss ideas without fear of autocratic prosecution as they claim on their site.
Currently, with little over 850 users and 250 posts spread among 9 communities (boards), the site also features a livechat, and each user gets their private onion mirror URL by default.
Whether it's going to be a successor to the Dread Forum is hard to tell, however we believe that alternatives are always welcome by the (darknet) community.
libre needs to allow browsing without sign in. that was the best feature of dread
