Here I am wishing they had chosen VBulletin or Invision, lol. I think it’s just a case of what I’m more familiar with in terms of forums though.
I get their decision, forum software is stable, has plugins and tools to help with moderation, has been around a long time and they don’t have to worry about things like LemmyNSFW or other instances they don’t want the hassle of because they control all the content that shows up in a forum space.
I wonder why those chose mybb over discourse. I definitely prefer the latter.
I find discourse incredibly unfriendly to use. Ardour use it for their forum and it puts me off visiting.
Discourse is impossible once it gets to a certain size. Four groups trying to have four different conversations on top of each other.
I personally find it very easy to use, but to each their own! Is there any forum software you prefer?

I’m just glad it’s not a fucking Discord thing.
I definitely agree with them not using Lemmy. I think one centralised forum makes sense for large projects to use. Much easier to organize and manage.
I think vBulletin is - at best - dormant these days. I spent about 10 years on a vBulletin-powered forum before I went over to reddit… 12 years ago.
