@fgallese yes thank you. i saw it yesterday. I lost a lot of time for that little detail. Digital ocean console uses another character set
So NodeBB is the top post on HN right now.

Just taking my daily look at http://hackerne.ws and saw that NodeBB is right at the very top!
Might be worth you guys taking a look at some of the C&C there.Was this a sneaky publicity stunt?

Skimmed through the comments, and I got this vibe that most of the commenters just glanced through this NodeBB forum without actually registering and trying to say "hi", let alone installing and trying it on their own box. I might come back later to offer my points (because I am in the college's lab now doing Western Blot on GFP protein
) -
Yeah, many of the points were to do with the theme of this forum. They didnt really comment on anything else. I mentioned my forum and covoes had a different theme but no one seemed to comment on that, other that someone saying it was faster than here.
I'm not a fan of the theme here but the possibilities of different ones are very high.
I think maybe having a couple of themes on display on the github page may have changed their minds. -
At some point we had 160 users online :squirrel:

@baris I saw it hit the 200 mark

I replied here. I hope I don't get flamed, really, I wish we had a few more weeks to get out 0.5x ish and the new theme out before people started giving us their opinion. But I guess it doesn't hurt

@Scuzz No, this wasn't a publicity stunt from us... we had no idea it was happening, and I even took the day off today to go biking for the first time since summer started. Bad timing
-
Oh, so thats where the influx of traffic is coming from.

@trevor You may have had some on your forum too, i mentioned it in the post to show the people that there was other themes as they all seemed to complain about was the theme here.
