With my own manuscript, there were times when I backtracked 30 something pages, dumped it all, had the story take a completely different path, and that ended up destroying an almost fatal case of writer's block. I don't think I would have finished the manuscript if I hadn't done it (and yeah, it's the same one I'm trying to get published right now). Now, had it been something I had been posting on the forum, generally, having to delete all those past posts after other people had read them would have been problematic and would have caused confusion. "Oh, so that event really doesn't happen now?" It would have been somewhat awkward and tricky to explain.
But yeah, you definitely have the start of what sounds like it's going to be a great story. Good luck with it and hopefully it's one that has smooth sailing.
