voted for discourse, same as last time. majority could end up at "no change" again though
Seem to have missed phpbb forums i added. Can we please add it? It is notnthebprettiest forum bit has tge most tools forncommubity growth and development out of all of them.
Following the discussions in the last mumbles and the old threads by Bitsapphire I created a short summary of potential software we could use.The idea is to streamline communication and improve the exchange between the different communities around the world. One of the goals was the to find a translation plugin, that will help us to talk better with the Chinese community. Further upgrading the forum software will send a strong signal that BitShares is active and improving.What is wrong with the current forum?Since Bitshapphire is not active anymore in the BitShares Community anymore, it would be better to have an active community member hosting the forum and be in charge of the maintenance. The goal is so to keep the forum 99% online.Who could host it?An active member of the BitShares community, let us discuss who could be suitable. What are the current hosting costs?50-60 Euro per month according to BitsapphireWhat happens with the current posts, ranks, and the old forum?I found this guide for Discourse How to import Simple Machine to DiscourseWe can probably import everything to the new forum and put the old posts in an archive.Why now?If not now, then never.The two forums that would suit us the best:1. Discourse http://www.discourse.org/Demo: https://meta.discourse.org/Plug-ins:Translation plug in: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630Chat/Trollbox plug in: https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/31753Meetup Plugin: https://meta.discourse.org/t/local-meetup-events-plugin/24430Very cool, Discourse also has a google translate plugin, which could help us to talk better with China.2. NodeBB https://nodebb.org/ Demo: http://forum.expii.com/Plug-ins:https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-meetuphttps://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-newsletter3. Simple Machines Forum (currently used) www.simplemachines.orgHappy voting and a good discussion!ps.: My favorite is discourse
That, and the maintenance for any problems that might arise. I've used Discourse before, and been pleased with it. Looks like the migration might be pretty hairy, though.
Discourse very good. All those annoying becomes "like" and then no clutter. Is there a cost for the software itself?
