“NodeBB is hands down the best I have ever used from both management and user perspectives Due to the need for GDPR compliance, and a desire to update the technology base from PHP, wanted to migrate the pfSense community to a new forum, and NodeBB fit our needs. The migration process was surprisingly simple, and customizing the colors and icons was painless. The UI is great, our users really like it, and the performance is excellent. NodeBB makes GDPR compliance exceedingly simple, everything is mobile and SEO-friendly out of the box, and general maintenance is a lot easier compared to our old forum. As a bonus, the NodeBB support team is available whenever we run into trouble. NodeBB is the most attractive piece of open source forum software we’ve found.”

“When we decided it was time to revamp our community we contemplated several possible solutions. We finally opted for NodeBB, and we couldn't be happier. We're using a modern, actively developed forum software. Numbers confirm that our user engagement skyrocketed and there was not a single comment from our users that would say that the old forums were better which, I think, speaks for itself.”
