Who is using NodeBB?

@Mog "O'wite Duck, cup o't tea" and other Sheffield related phrases.

@Mog if you haven't already you should install https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-spam-be-gone, it helps a lot with spammers.

@a_5mith - No good m'duck, I've recently moved up to the Lake District National Park

@baris - We have this installed and configured with akismet key etc, doesn't seem to be stopping the spammers we have, recently I have just changed the forum setting to prevent flooding of posts by using the following settings:

Seconds between Posts
Seconds before new user can post

Setting them to 90 and 50 respectively. Unfortunately this setting doesn't seem to have prevented them from posting substantially more threads than this within the timescale. I'll create a proper thread for all this later

@Mog take a look at https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2878/the-spam-is-real there were some fixes to the plugin but I think it only works on later versions of NodeBB that might explain why it doesn't stop the new spam topics.

@kevin Didn't know you were on the MCN team (assuming you are), used to read that quite a lot as a sprog. Bit concerned about this post though.

Can only assume old passwords were plain text.

No I'm not. It's pure coincidence that they've changed their forum to NodeBB just a week after I published mine.

a_5mith

@kevin Ahhh, the old coincidence.

@a_5mith - yeah it was pure coincidence, we've been looking to replace the forum for quite some time.

Oh, and the url is http://forum.motorcyclenews.com - we've migrated >44K users and >660K posts.

@kazr @kevin Lots of space in the motorcycling world for NodeBB, I'd hope

I'd be interested to know how you went about preserving passwords, did your old software use the same encryption or did you create some form of fallback for first time use?
