Is nodeBB a generic old school PHP forum like phpBB ?
Not familiar with phpBB Turns out I am - just remembered a Spanish forum that uses it. So it’s kinda like that, yeah, but more Google’s mobile style-oriented, not as blocky. Discourse forums, and forums like AtariAge, Fuwanovel and GameFAQS’s also get organized like that.
Awesome.
I’ve added those to communities to PieFed so if anyone wants to join them, here they are - https://piefed.social/communities?search=billboard.bsd.cafe
@Skavau@piefed.social these might fit into the forumverse feeds somewhere, maybe add !freebsd@billboard.bsd.cafe to https://piefed.social/f/operatingsystems ?
Probably no need to do them all, up to you - I expect the only busy one will be freebsd.
May I ask why one would prefer the old school phpbb type boards over something like Lemmy and Reddit? Is it because it’s lighter weight and the site owners have stricter controls over making specific boards and topics?
For me, nostalgia and looks. I never really got into this reddit/lemmy style. I’m used to it now, but I still prefer the old ways.
Added that one for now.
Nostalgia, they feel a bit more inherently organized, and slow Auster has an easier time dealing with linear boards.
