We're inspired by phpBB, in a sense... we hope to be as popular as they are some day 😄
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.

I... Ehh... Thats one way of doing it I guess xD

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/directorymaybe 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 anonymoususing nodebbmessage. -

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.
