Zheng Fa smiled and explained, "If the remote classroom is to facilitate the disciples' learning."
"The Daospeak is for... allowing the disciples to exchange their insights or research findings."
"Doesn't this duplicate the Jiushan Forum?" Master Pang interjected.
"Originally, the Jiushan Forum was for this, but the current trend..."
Zheng Fa stopped here, glanced at Master Pang, with a look of resignation.
"... The forum's style, it's not entirely my fault..."
Master Pang's voice grew softer, clearly lacking confidence.
"The Daospeak is for disciples to upload their papers, and comments are restricted to paper-related discussions."
The Jiushan Forum still has its advantages today; its biggest use is to allow Zheng Fa to 'eat melons'... no, to grasp public opinion, uncover issues within the Jiushan Sect, and collect disciples' feedback.
As for the Daospeak, in Zheng Fa's mind, it's a bit like a modern preprint website, such as arXiv.
