Your post made me notice an error on there. I was using our monthly cost and forgot to add in the reserved instance one time cost. Just added an edit to the post. We are big fans of Lua (corrected typo) and much of the load is set, zset and

Basically it goes something like this (oversimplifying): hset('shard.healthcheck', checkId, token) wait 500ms on every slave hget('shard.healthcheck', checkId) Verify the tokens match. Slaves are removed from the pool when the tokens don't,

I agree that for most people a setup like this would not be cost effective. Our model only works at scale so it made sense to build for scale from the beginning. This kind of setup is likely cost prohibitive for most without some funding be

To be honest, we have not played with fsync every second. Redundant persistence servers across availability zones gives me enough comfort that my worry about losing that 60 seconds of data is rather low. I suspect we will play with this ov

If I could ask a quick favor from you: Can you create an account and try to post on our sandbox forum: http://moot.it/demos/forum.html We have quite a bit more logging there. The production system is not showing any errors. If you could

Totally agreed. We were excited when you guys launched for the same reasons. Further validates the space! There simply needs to be more options, and it's great that there are people getting interested and creating products in this area.

I suspect it's a websocket upgrade issue that you must be having. Please email support@moot.it if you can with details! This is the first public availability for moot so it's not too unexpected to have a few bumps.

Our demo forum is in a sandbox environment separate from our primary network and it's getting traffic and loading (at least based on our logs). The production system is still pushing median API response times of 1.608ms (a drop of 0.2 sinc

crumbling? median api response times are 1.446ms at the moment and basically all our servers are completely idle. Any issues would be new bugs for us to track down!

Yes, you pick whether your comments are linear or threaded and you can mix and match (use threaded in some places, and linear in other places). It's configured simply by how you embed it.

Sanitization and protection from attacks is handled by the API itself instead of the client. We feel it's inherently risky to rely on the client at all for any security.

It is a legitimate request. Honestly we were quite surprised/baffled to receive it as well.

Infinite scrolling is actually not going to be there in the final production release.

That's funny. I never heard it was used in that way!

I've seen both of these. Pivory seems not really very mature/serious, and branch doesn't seem like a forum replacement. IMHO pivory is hideous (different strokes) and still feels too bound by trying to simply make old forums "cool". Seems

That's just temporary. We rushed out an early build of moot to coincide with the HTML5 Flowplayer release. The full moot release with dedicated moot demos is coming up eminently. I had the same thought as well actually.

Stack Exchange is a break for the norm for sure. I guess I don't really consider it since it's not something you can setup on your site to power your own forums and commenting.

None of that is taking place. SSO and some deeper private discussion options will be available for paid customers. Those options are not relevant for the vast majority of people that would use moot though.

Theres a link to a demo on the bottom to play with it.

Seems no one has made any real serious attempt to really modernize them.
