Title: Can we please upgrade this forum to NodeBB?
Post by: kenCode on December 16, 2015, 11:51:31 am: This forum has seen its day.
Poor search, archaic layout, you name it.

How about NodeBB (https://nodebb.org)?

It looks gorgeous, is mobile responsive, gets great reviews (search forum software on google), has real-time chat, supports Adsense ads for BTS businesses, has gamification, Q&A features like stackexchange, integrates with Slack and other cloud sites (like docs.bitshares.eu).. and it's free.

Sounds good to me.
I assume the flarum UI/UX is nice, is mobile responsive, gets great reviews (search forum software on google), has real-time chat, supports Adsense ads for BTS businesses, has gamification, Q&A features like stackexchange, integrates with Slack and other cloud sites (like docs.bitshares.eu).. and it's free like NodeBB? - https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/
