🤫 our little secret

@cagatay Yup cheating is indeed a good thing right? THIS NOMINATION IS RIGGED!!

[AyProductions Team]

@julian btw is that steve?

[brazzerstop]

The discourse was winding up its voices and they were content as long as they were in first place thanks to their deceit.

Watching their hysteria, I come to the conclusion that NodeBB's victory will be fair!

Technically, NodeBB is superior to Discourse in many ways, a truth that our opponents cannot accept. Sorry sight.

[phenomlab]

@brazzerstop if you look at Flarum, they are doing exactly the same thing, and it's how they "won" last year - and they are using identical tactics this year.

Everyone knows NodeBB is far superior. It doesn't need a farcical accolade to prove it.

[brazzerstop]

Look at this, when Discourse have first place, they say - 20i is a good hosting and Discourse team happy
When Discourse get 2 place, they team says - 20i is a scam and this nomination is a rigged

[julian]

well, we have no affiliation with 20i.

[AyProductions Team]

bruh these guys do anything to win cheat more okay?

@cagatay I don't know what voting multiple times is based off, I voted so much that it completely blocked me outright lol

Not going to say what I voted for multiple times, but I think it should be obvious enough to tell

I agree with Sam here, please do not try to circumvent the limits. If you want NodeBB to win vote once, spread the word and get your friends & family to vote instead.

[crazycells]

@baris I agree. No need to cheat the system, just vote once and spread the word so we can know how many people are happy with NodeBB I announced the link on our website as well, and told our users that if they are happy with the NodeBB, they can support the team

we have many users who would like to thank and appreciate NodeBB infrastructure, they gladly voted for NodeBB Thanks again guys for the NodeBB Software

[crazycells]

@brazzerstop @phenomlab so when they are winning "it is fair and acceptable", but when they are not winning "they are cheaters anyways"... and this discourse user in the screenshot is trying to encourage others to install VPN to multi-vote for discourse...

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Exactly. I've kept mostly silent on this issue, but my original remark still remains

Everyone knows NodeBB is far superior. It doesn't need a farcical accolade to prove it.

[julian]

@crazycells I'd say "that's democracy nowadays!", but I have a sneaking suspicion democracy has always been this way

[darkpixlz]

@phenomlab Personally I think it's clunky and the navigation isn't great + a lot of the themes are unpleasant to look at, but that's just my personal opinion so dont take it too harsh.

[phenomlab]

@darkpixlz Funny you should say that as I have the same opinion about Discourse. That, and needing to run everything inside a Docker container isn't exactly flexible.

[darkpixlz]

@phenomlab Not sure, the extreme lack of actual styling here is kinda an issue imo

That's your opinion though, and I have my own

[phenomlab]

@darkpixlz Hard to disagree on the Bootswatch themes - they do have issues, but nothing insurmountable as there's always CSS.

@phenomlab said in Vote for NodeBB :

Funny you should say that as I have the same opinion about Discourse.

Agreed (although I am supposed to stay neutral about competitors)..

I always find that Discourse sites have that clunky look, but perhaps that's the kind of look and feel they're going with? (It's rather interesting that @darkpixlz' feedback I wilfully apply to Discourse word-for-word!)

Additionally, as a guest user I visited their topic on this issue, and after reading a couple posts got hit with a backdrop-shaded call-to-register modal. I highly highly dislike this particular anti-pattern.
