Our discourse was not improved. It's still worse, IMO, than it was before Discourse (the software) came along.
There are more people here, because the software works better and is easier to use.
-
@polygeekery Yeah but there's this huge asshole named Intercourse who also showed up.
-
@polygeekery And then, of course, it was ruined again by NodeBB.

The number of accounts on this forum pre-discourse dwarfs the number of accounts registered during discourse or post-discourse.

Yes.

@ben_lubar So does the time period.

@ben_lubar I had my pre-Discourse (Community Server) account re-actived post-Discourse by @pjh, and I didn't even deactivate anything. They just messed up the first migration so my password didn't work anymore.

@ben_lubar How many weren't even actual accounts?
OMG I just remembered my signature hack that replaced the next poster's avatar with Hitler. Man those were the days!

I still want to make a plugin that lets people attach CS-style tags to other peoples' posts (with attribution, of course).
But I'm lazy.

The frequent cootie storms alone made Discourse worse than NodeBB.
It was literally so bad that we had a topic to track the frequent issues -- e.g. the times when a whole container randomly just froze (resulting in 50% of requests to the server just timing out) and Ben wrote a script to detect when it happened and kill/restart the offending container.

CS definitely had issues like logout bombs and CSS override hacks, but if you avoided those topics things worked fine. But with Discourse, you'd just post a link to Imgur or change your avatar or type the letter "V" on a Wednesday and the entire server would freeze up at 100% CPU usage for an hour until someone punched the reset button.

@anotherusername said in Discussion of NodeBB Updates:

The script was on NodeBB. When Discourse had cooties it was much worse, and someone had to manually fix it.
-
@ben_lubar I misremembered. Thanks for the correction.
NodeBB has had a few hiccups, but aside from the occasions when we've had rogue Baidu spiders trying to crawl the whole site, it's been pretty manageable.

@mott555 And yet I've probably lost more time to how fucking slow NodeBB is.

NodeBB has lots of UI faults in my opinion, but I don't ever remember it being slow.

That doesn't make it slow for me, it just makes the notification system become all useless and stuff.

Occasionally.

Side note: It's been over 100 posts in this topic since the last actual NodeBB update.
Does this mean everyone's ready to try the latest
#master
build?

And the tools menu for each post. And the replies dropdown. And replies and quotes. And basically anything that opens up something on the page without reloading the page.

I'll agree we're all jerks and assholes here, but I really don't see the sociopathy of it. There's definitely some pretend-sociopathy from a few individuals that gets missed by people who lack a sense of humor, but I've unfortunately seen the real thing in person and TDWTF is nothing like that.

Do I pretend sociopathy?
Asking, because I heard that if you have the ability to ask that question you're probably not one.

I hear @Lorne-Kates offers free vivisections, as long as you identify as a trans hooker.

You said you were the opposite of a transhooker. Which would be a cis person who pays for sex.

I asked about it, whether or not I personally identified that way was only softly implied. 😇

Found the culprit.

I said one positive thing: My 1.7 GHz single-core laptops did technically connect to discourse. I believe I posted screenshots even, if you ask nicely I might find them...

@tsaukpaetra My Microsoft Surface's battery life was still positive when I browsed Discourse. Barely...

Hence, 'still'. I look at the bug reports forum, I see zero animosity.
Of course not; only the sycophants are left. It's why you can take a look at, say, EVE Online and see only jackasses-- because the jackasses have driven off all the people who aren't jackasses long ago.
Hmm.
