   Best Forum Experience

   I was lucky enough to stumble on NodeBB in the early days right as we were transitioning a large user base from another forum and needed a platform that could handle the volume and speed of interactions that our users demanded. We took a big risk on NodeBB in 2014 when it was brand new and it has paid off in spades over the years. For seven years our users have consistently raved about ease of use and performance of the platform while on the back end we have been thrilled with the ease of management and low resource needs of hosting even for a site hitting hundreds of millions of hits per month. It is modern, regularly updated, has a great community and team behind it. We've always gotten lots of support and know that we made the right choice and continue to choose NodeBB as our forum of choice.

• Don't Use Discord as a Forum

  > I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/ TIL to what shit Netgate moved pfSense forums to. I'm glad you are fine with it, but not only my FullHD monitor is not a smartphone, so I don't need 400% fonts on everything (and post dates on the faaaaar right clearly shows nobody ever even used the forum) and most importantly - search doesn't work. It's not like the previous forum had a good search, but at least it worked.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Don't Use Discord as a Forum

  I wrote about this a while ago for Slack/forums: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3451 but the points still hold. HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29154216 Full featured OSS forum you can self-host or let them host for you (for $). Big fan of letting people use the search interface they want, which is almost always Google. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Hey Guys, I'm an Open Source enthusiast. StackFoss.com is an open source StackOverFlow alternative, and what makes StackFoss awesome is Focus on open source and Ad-free.

  You said it's based on. This means that there are modifications to the implementation of nodebb. So where is your modifications' source code then? stackfoss/stackfoss is just a single readme file. Source: over 3 years ago

• Mothbox 4.0

  Not counts, but you can upload the images to https://inaturalist.org. Most of the recent conservation research papers use iNaturalist data. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Slime molds are gorgeous (you just never knew it) [video]

  Observing nature is really fascinating, and it's everywhere - even in your fridge! Should you find something you can't identify try https://inaturalist.org/ which makes recording, sharing, discussing, identifying and correcting audio or still image media based observations easy and is of great utility to biologists tasked with understanding and environmentalists protecting our remnant biodiversity. Just be sure to... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Please tell me these are not what I think they are…

  Recluses are known to stay in a location long-term without dispersing much. If you search your garage and house, you should be able to easily find some more. You should get in touch with your county extension office and send them specimens, and also record your observations on iNaturalist or BugGuide. Source: about 3 years ago

• What is the best possible use for Entomology as a hobby rather than a professional job?

  iNaturalist is a website run by various scientific/educational entities that is a database of observations by ordinary people (not just scientists at work). You upload photos and add geographic location and what taxon the organism belongs to, and you can also add notes and useful metadata. Source: about 3 years ago

• Bought my first microscrope

  You can try online databases like this one, or inaturalist.org, but I've had the most luck just posting the images on here and hoping they get recognized. Source: about 3 years ago
