Author here. Thanks for submitting!
I wrote this a year ago as my employer was starting up their forum[0]. While we have since added slack, the forum is the main support mechanism for our community (people who pay us money get support tickets).
I still stand by that choice for:
* SEO
* durability
* question quality
I can't recall the exact numbers, but something like 5-10% of our overall traffic is to the forum.
FusionAuth is a pleasure to work with. Thanks for the work and documentation :+1. You folks done saved me a lot of time, hopefully if I make a dollar will pay it forward.
Thank you, glad we can help you out! Hope your project is a smashing success.
When it launches, I'd love to interview you for a community story like https://fusionauth.io/blog/2020/11/18/reconinfosec-fusionaut... if you'd be game. My email is in my profile.
Which platform your forum is on. Or its custom?
It really looks like a good ol' nodebb
But it still looks 10x better than Discourse.
Yup, it is nodebb.
