That seemed like a pretty proper reply to me, except you're like so wrong about tabs: you want your code readable no matter what tab stops are set to, and that becomes just too difficult to do with tabs (esp. if you're using emacs). I suspect you'll end up agreeing over time, especially if you ever work on a more than 3 person project.

also, I think you should do input type validation in your websocket code. I think my website is currently set to an object and not string...

I'll stop poking around now. Good luck!

poked around your codebase a little... I had no idea forEach was so slow!

Anywho, run this:

while true; do curl http://try.nodebb.org/bench/forloop; done &

3 times or so from bash and goodbye try.nodebb.org.

...

also write more unit tests!

also since I pointed this out, could I put a feature request in for a classic theme? something that looks like vBulletin or so with similar formatting/pagination and whatnot.

also eliminate the tab character from your codebase. jesus.

You only have redis as a DB... are you worried about scaling issues and/or server restarts? Are there plans on saving to a disk based store (i.e. MongoDB).
