Why did you choose NodeBB?

It will be short:
NodeJS+Markdown -
Beacuse @psychobunny @julian and @baris are so gosh darn nice!
So it follows the dev community is awesome as well, plus it's mobile-first and realtime

So, @psychobunny @baris @julian . why do you guys use NodeBB xD
-
Because I truly believe one day OpenFantasy will be completed. My first forum had ADR on it. I'd like to build an RPG community and I believe NodeBB will have what I need first in a modern script before the others. Also, the rest of the good ones are PHP and not really real time. (Discourse is bad because of resource usage). NodeBB is the obvious winner.

My interest in NodeBB came about after comparing ~6 projects that developed forum software. I found NodeBB:
a ) looked the best
b ) felt zippy and app-like when navigating around
c ) had a friendly and enthusiastic community
d ) was open sourced through GitHubIf it wasn't for the geek in me wanting set up my own install, I'd have paid for it because it was the only forum software on the market that felt 2015. Almost everything else I tried felt 1999 (there were some 2004s).

I know you were joking, but let me chime in anyways.
As @HolyPhoenix mentioned, openfantasy!
That bulletin board RPG for phpBB was something I've had a passion for over 10 years. It's something that takes that gamification concept to a whole new level. What I've built so far is just the core but there were hundreds of plugins, looking forward to porting them one day.
I don't have the time while we get NodeBB to 1.0, but I do appreciate the confidence @HolyPhoenix has in me to finish it
