@dangeruss Thanks for your work in setting this up. I really appreciate the efforts of you and others to quickly come up with a FWF alternative.
You’re welcome, but it’s you, the community that makes this place so great. So thank you for joining, and welcome!
I understand from your posts on FWF there are software/admin issues between the platforms. I hope that over time we all end up congregating in one place – right now I’m checking FWF, PhatWallet, and Fragiledeal. (I don’t see SD or Reddit as reasonable alternatives.) Strength in numbers!
I’m not sure what FWF is, but as far as Fragiledeal goes, they have picked an inferior platform. Although I’m a little jealous that it has the wiki functionality built in (which we need for quick summary), knowing Jeff it’s built in exactly the wrong way with no hope of changing it. I believe Jeff doesn’t believe in pagination either, a feature that we have (though he may have changed his mind in the last couple of years, but I doubt it).
Another big issue for the other platform was lack of scalability. It was always having weird, unexplained performance issues and crashes. When told that it doesn’t support large threads well, Jeff’s response was - “Don’t create large threads”.
The nodeBB dev team is much easier to deal with (as we shall soon see for ourselves, since it looks like we found a pagination bug).
