Both of my forums (Mybb and NodeJS) run about the same speed on the same server. I haven't run actual benchmarks, but neither has appeared too slow to use. The Mybb forum has been around longer, so it has more posts and users. There was once I was I got DDOSed on the MyBB forum, and it didn't take much to take me out. The NodeBB forum has never had issues, and is a public forum and not closed off like the mybb forum.

The real advantage of NodeJS comes with it's ease of use of sockets. If you want instant updates, I see people building Node servers and connecting php to them for their instant updates. I don't see the reason for that, it seems ridiculous to have to use so many different technologies for your website. I was dead set on using Flarum once it came into being, until I saw this topic. http://discuss.flarum.org/d/534-community-chat-on-webpage-with-forum-usernames/5

It made me realize that PHP couldn't compete without using outside technologies with some of the instant functionality. I wanted that instant functionality, so I ran straight back to NodeBB. If you don't care about the instant live updating functionality, i'd say either technology is just fine.

@teh_g

I have plans to make this work again in the near future. Until that time you can use the html widget he mentions in https://github.com/RestingCoder/nodebb-widget-discord/issues/3.

Of course, Discord has APIs and everything now, so rewriting the plugin should not be too bad. And my wife is pretty busy this week(that means I am free), so I'll see if I can make this my priority instead of playing video games.

Happy Birthday!

All done. Added you on github, twitter, and facebook.

I've also been talking up NodeBB a lot on a couple of forums I frequent.

It was just updated recently. Not abandoned. The developer was just busy with things and wasn't able to get around to it right away.

The reason why they don't include every feature in the core is because some people will want a feature to work one way, and other people will want it to work another way. NodeBB doesn't include every feature in the core to allow greater customization to the features that some people will want developed one way and other people another.

Hehe, JK!

Last update, this issue is closed.

It seems that there is an issue when I was trying to use the terminal built into the ajenti panel. I was using ajenti to try and make my life easier when I am not at home, but that turned out to be a bad idea. Anyway, everything works just fine when I ssh into my server using bitvise.

To pay off 1/3 of my student loans, buy a new laptop, and play more video games.

ADRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!

Want!!!!!

comes back to life

It even uses the old ADR graphics.

If only I could upvote this 100 times.

You get what I mean.

I suggest not using an iFrame. Since you have access to the code for the chess board, you should be able to load it into a div pretty easily and make the styling for it responsive.

Use this.

Can we report the guy? Maybe if enough of us report him he will be removed.

I was wondering if we could get this plugin updated for .8.x?

Yeah, its still free. I wish they'd use the NodeBB.org domain for more of the open source community side of things, and use nodebb.com for the commercial side like wordpress does. But alas, they need to make a living somehow...

They charge for hosting services. But NodeBB is open source just like it used to be.

Because I truly believe one day OpenFantasy will be completed. My first forum had ADR on it. I'd like to build an RPG community and I believe NodeBB will have what I need first in a modern script before the others. Also, the rest of the good ones are PHP and not really real time. (Discourse is bad because of resource usage). NodeBB is the obvious winner.

https://blog.nodebb.org/emailers/

Based on the post, it appears that it is just built in. So it doesn't sound like it actually gives you the ability to setup your own stmp settings. If that is unneeded, then you should be able to just put the email you want it to send from, and it will send. If you do need that, you will likely still have to get this plugin working.

@Dakoom

I think there are images for a lot of the plugins in the plugin forum. Most plugins in the repository have a matching thread. I'd do a search on this forum to find the thread for whichever plugin you are looking for images of.

Yeah, I don't even see this as a feature request. Nodebb has a pm system already. I think it could be expanded upon to make it better (multiple participants, inbox & other folders), but I don't think writing a completely separate message system is the answer.

Threaten to ban them.

Also Digital Ocean works just fine, no reason to switch hosts as @CreeperFace suggests as this problem has nothing to do with your hosting provider.

I'm 100% sure you can, as long as your not copying open source code from other plugins that don't allow for building off of them with a commercialized product.
