Active sites using NodeBB

I'd be happy to opt in to install tracking. Really don't see a problem with that

I don't think too many people would object, but it's not the tracking that is controversial (although it is, a bit...), but the fact that some companies sneak it in and cover their bases by saying "oh, but it was a checkbox that you accepted", or "it was in the terms and conditions that you totally read, right?)

@julian Yeah, with something like this it's important to be transparent. I'm guessing any disgruntledness (is that even a word?) will come from people not realising their install is being tracked.

sondorsforum.com is using NodeBB also.

I think if we do this, it should be opt-in with a benefit to the user. For example if you decide to enable it your forum gets listed at nodebb.org/directory maybe ranked by activity. There should be some kind of control on how much data you want to send, ranging from just your url to usage stats or just an anonymous using nodebb message.

I like this idea a lot- a list of the most active nodeBB sites would be useful for a lot of people. How could activity be determined though, to avoid bots just posting 1000s of test posts to spam the directory?

@Arc Simply don't rank them by number of posts. Besides, spam bots are quite easy to see these days.

@Arc we track pageviews posts/topic counts etc. Basically the stats you see on the ACP dashboard.
