It's good hey! I ran a small POC project using discourse and really enjoyed it, there were a few UX / workflow related things that needed fixing but over all the community really enjoyed using it.
Is that because of all the forum spam? I went to the forum a month or two ago looking for an update on where Sublime was at and it was just overrun with junk posts.
I presume so, at least that would've played a big part in it.
As a moderator of the forum, I try my best to keep on top of it. The old forum didn't have mail notifications or a decent spam blocker, so it was a lot of manual work.
