   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.

• eSports Tournament Software Recomendation

  If you're planning on running multiple brackets for multiple games start.gg /formerly smash.gg ) should be your best bet imo, I've organised and helped organise many tournaments for both MOBAs and fighting games and start.gg has never disappointed me. Source: over 2 years ago

• The archives

  Liquipedia's a great place to start archiving our events; historically Tetris tournaments are just archived all over the place; Challonge, smash.gg, Braacket, Discord, the Hard Drop forums, Tonamel, etc. Heck, even the largest compilation of events is hosted on a Google Doc by Eddie, and archival there has slowed down in recent times.

• Smash Ultimate Summit 6 Blossom Hat, anyone know where I can find one?/get a spare one from?

  As the title suggests, I would like to know where I can get another Blossom hat from the last ultimate summit 6 that was once in the voting shop for ultimate summit 6 when it was available for purchase. Unfortunately, my package for the blossom hat got lost in transit and I was refunded but smash.gg can't produce these anymore because of how it's an embroidered product. And I REALLY REALLY wanted this hat :( Does... Source: about 3 years ago

• Old Summit Merch

  I've actually DM'd smash.gg (start.gg now) about this a bit ago and since most of their stuff is made-to-order after the shops close, they don't really have excess stock unfortunately. So most likely the only way to really get older merch would be if someone happens to sell it on eBay or something. Sorry! I would love to buy some of the merch from shops I missed the window on too.

• Slippi Ranked Results Tier List

  Would be cool to augment something like this with the char popularity stats (would love if something official was published from slippi, but maybe could infer from smash.gg?). Source: over 3 years ago

• 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
