    Hey there. Basically I have a forum around the same size as yours. I moved from myBB to NodeBB. I am using NodeBB since almost a year now. Security isn't an issue. There have been some XSS vulnerabilities here and there, but these have been patched within a few hours. Updating NodeBB is easy as well, you just run git pull, stop your forum, run ./nodebb upgrade and then start it again. No need to restart NodeJS or Redis/Mongo. Setting up a system running PHP and NodeJS is fairly simple. Maybe take a look at my tutorial "High performance stack". Moving NodeBB is pretty simple too. Just copy all the files to your new machine and run ./nodebb start. Thats it (assuming you have your stack installed of course). NodeBB automatically chooses the right language for your user. At least my members got their mother language. Alternatively the users can set the language in their profile settings. My forum is using a Redis database. It takes around 500-700MB RAM, not a big deal for me, but depends on your server of course. To contribute to the NodeBB translations you can check Transifex and participate. If you want I can help you doing the movement. Feel free to drop me a message.

    Me also! This is a great community of knowledgeable people who seem genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge. Funny that mostly I see that URL butchering on Windows systems. The Linux and OS X ones don't seem to have to obliterate URLs so badly.

    @frissdiegurke It would have been nice if there is an option for group discussion in groups.

    @yariplus @JasperNL, alternatively you can use Kimsufi, which belongs to OVH to 100%. The only difference is that the systems there are dedicated ones and not virtual machines. I also use one of these for my download server, which works quite alright. About Redis: The database size itself will increase the same way as others. More data = bigger database.

    @Joenel-de-Asis172 That is actually the best way to do it. The other way would be to remove that html from the profile template in your theme. However, unless you are making your own custom theme, your changes may get overwritten when the theme updates. So CSS is the way to go.

    @lenovouser and I have released nodebb-plugin-camo with an internal Camo server, which should make setup much easier, and solves many of the issues here. (Although not all)

    Having to scroll through the forum threads to find a nice looking theme or an interesting plugin is cumbersome (at best). It'd be nice if there was a dedicated website where you could upload your plugin/theme, and i would read some JSON and display all the themes & plugins based on the info in that json, properly categorizing everything and showing easily viewable thumbnails of the theme/plugin in action. Ideally there would be categories and tags that you could filter by, and all of it searchable. Just a thought/suggestion (and sorry if someone already suggested this!)

    Odd... most crawlers don't even parse js, so it's probably GoogleBot, no? In that case, perhaps you can make them go away with a 302 to send them someplace else that could use the SEO juice...

    Q
    @charles one can make an import plugin, but an easiest and efficient way for (quick) testings will be just with redis data dump file. First, load redis with data file, and that's it. However, I agree that the importer can be better at some point.
