Should we migrate to discourse forum software?

I personally prefer IPB.

IPB has tons of features which I like.. Depends how it's configured though!

Discourse's features are truly awesome, but I don't like the looks that much.

I really don't care. The main issue I am currently facing with VPSBoard is it's speed. It loads pretty slow over here for me.

VPSBoard doesn't load as fast as maybe LET, but I personally prefer the 'conventional' forum approach and IPB's Quick Reply is actually pretty nice to work with. No reason to switch as far as I'm concerned :D

I am loving IP Board so far, each day I find a new feature/shortcut which impresses me.

Guess time will tell how it pans out with more traffic but so far I see no need to switch.

Possibly the addition of a portal page with offers as suggested in another post would be a welcome extra though.

Hey man, glad to have you hear.

I'll admit, I like the looks of it but not so much to warrant a change just based on that. What sort of resources are we talking about here?


~# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           248        209         39          0         19        122
-/+ buffers/cache:         68        180
 

This is what's going on currently with vpsBoard running Lighttpd and php5-fpm, MySQL is being offloaded elsewhere so that helps a lot. Just posting these stats as you mention a '256MB machine'. Could run MySQL on this VPS and still probably have resources to spare.

I'm going to sign up over at your place and give it a whirl. =]

Hey folks !

Probably the forums slow because MySQL is hosted elsewhere ? same web host ?

Server also needs optimising check out your gtmetrix and webpagetest reports

Actually there's no comparison between IPB and mentioned one, since IPB is one of oldest and well established forum software, which is better in every aspect, at the very least support and else is redundant and the project won't stop too.

With that mentioned I've liked discourse after viewing its demo, and thought really better be used here, however after reading comments I've changed my mind. I believe it's new for using it for now. However if supposedly it was used then I believe you must get a better suited theme, since the original theme looks ugly.

Is any other forum software that's similar to discourse and vanilla?
