The most active NodeBB forum yet

Well, I've been so tempted to post about this earlier this week but we've been having a fun time trying to scale these guys and get this bad boy up and running. Today we've survived the worst expected concurrent users (~1k users concurrent) so I feel like it's a bit safe to post about it now

https://hashtalk.org/

If you check out their /recent, there's literally a post every few seconds even in the early hours of the morning, and even at those times they hover around 200 concurrent.

We've learnt a ton about scaling NodeBB in this past week, and we will be sharing what we learnt in a blog post in a week or two. Really exciting stuff

Jebediah Springfield on a bike. You should change the "less than a minute" to actual seconds for the first minute.

There seems to be an issue with the Hashpoints nav up top. Just says Loading.

Are you guys hosting this one?

EDIT: Not the 504s... I was just trying to steal the CSS for the tags.

Haha yeah we're hosting this one. Which is why we've all been a little quiet over here past few days while we ensured nothing exploded

EDIT: I think that CSS for tags exist in vanilla[email protected] lol, we aren't doing any custom theming

@psychobunny Ah, I just did it with a bit of CSS.

They're a bit off on top. Will fix them properly at some point, or just use 0.5.1 when I've had my bravery gravy.
