@topspin Discourse is the worst forum software in existence, except for all the others.
-
@pie_flavor I know. Interpreting it correctly (to your intention) is no fun.

@pie_flavor You might, but other TDWTFers with experience might not take your recommendation seriously.
It's a serious recommendation. No matter how much you think it sucks, you can't find anything better. Something something Churchill something democracy.
NodeBB is better. Better for us.
NodeBB is demonstrably worse at fuckin' everything. The UI sucks donkey dicks, feature design was done as well as C++'s and everything breaks all the time, the whole thing is twice as slow, and so on. Maybe Discourse was a little bit buggy when you used it but it's constantly gotten better - the same can't be said of NodeBB, and as time goes on it just keeps getting buggier. Just admit it. The only reason you don't like Discourse is Jeff.
Shut the fuck up and stop turning all threads in to your dissertations about how Discourse is the greatest piece of software ever and you want to lovingly caress Jeff's balls. Seriously, it was funny for a while. Now it is just obnoxious. Discourse still sucks. I use it regularly on other forums and I hate it because it is laggy and has questionable UI/UX choices. I still use Discourse, I still dislike Discourse and I do not have to interact with Jeff at all anymore. I hate the nags and the gamifications and toasters and dumbfuck design decisions that I know are still right beneath the surface that were implemented by an idiot who thinks that parsing HTML with RegEx is a good idea.
Discourse is the forums we would all be forced to use if the Nazis won the war.

This seems to fit here.

Hey, I'll have you know that I was implemented by a very nice lady.

@izzion when I finally snap I am going to hunt down the entire Android keyboard team and run them through a tree chipper.

@Polygeekery
Or just force them all to use Samsung Galaxy phones. That way when their house burns down due to their phones catching on fire, you get arson synergy.
-
@izzion you are a genius and a visionary. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

tree chipper.
@izzion said in I hate vBulletin and all the idiots who run their forums:

Why not both? Probably easier to make them catch fire. More surface area and all that.

Hey there, the Nazis would be offended by such an inefficient means of communication!

Any chance I could make you stop by the Apple keyboard team on your way?

I can make them a secondary target. No problem.

@Polygeekery Boy, you're cranky today.

@pie_flavor I had not had my coffee yet when I started reading your Discourse retardery. A man has his limits.
-
@Polygeekery Just do what I do and never drink coffee at all. It really helps with your interpersonal skills.

I never drink coffee and it doesn't seem to help.

No amount of coffee I drink or do not drink has had any measurable effect on @Polygeekery 's interpersonal skills.

Is there a glitch in the matrix? This was actually funny.

@Polygeekery? That seems ... unlikely.

Does it? I don't drink coffee and it has not positively affected my interpersonal skills one iota.

Yeah, you seem really good at interpersonal skills...

Maybe you just suck at communicating. I think I saw an XKCD about this sort of thing.

@Gribnit It's not my XKCD, it's Randall's.
Yes, but you can take them.

NodeBB has pagination, and the project owner isn't a haptic cunt-jumper.

That statement is so wrong, that is has overflowed and gone back to "Discourse is the worst forum software in existence, and all others are better".
So you're right.

@stillwater Knowing @Lorne-Kates you might as well ask your mom.
