Bitcointalk needs to evolve

[kiko]

Why not try using Discourse by the creators of Stack Overflow? Looks like really cutting-edge forum software.

That's a good forum software for discussions etc but it doesnt have alot features that this community needs.
It's not just a bitcoin discussion community anymore, people buy/sell stuff here and it has a pretty big marketplace.

Only forum software with good features and support is best for it like xenforo which DP is using now https://forums.digitalpoint.com.

Theymos already slapped the idea of Discourse down, but I think that was a bit rash. He should at least tell Jeff Atwood that there's 700 grand in it for him if he can incorporate our needs into the Discourse code-base!

Discourse is open source software. Why not make bounties for features that are needed and let them all be contributed back as open source?

No because it will take alot time to make it compatible for bitcointalk needs. Even it will take alot time to put functions that currently SMF have.

SMF/Mybb and several other proper forum softwares are opensource too and theymos have already offered a big bounty.
