   SPACEBAR COUNTER

   NodeBB is a next-generation discussion platform that utilizes web sockets for instant interactions and real-time notifications. NodeBB forums have many modern features out of the box such as social network integration and streaming discussions. NodeBB is an open source project which can be forked on GitHub.

   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 / 8 months 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 / 8 months 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: about 1 year ago

• Is there an official slogan? Automated messages?

  Also, has using an automated messaging system been discussed? Something like https://nationbuilder.com/ Sending major announcements and reminders would be important with keeping people involved. Especially people who don't use discord or reddit. Source: over 2 years ago

  If I try to access their webpage URL it 404s to a hosting service called NationBuilder which looks, uh, interesting. Source: about 3 years ago
