Well it's a good decision. As they say, never put all your eggs in one basket, especially if you have no control over the basket.

I'm surprised to hear people don't like Discourse, I really enjoy the layout and find following threads much easier than a traditional forum. Maybe it's because I was never really into traditional forums lol
I'm happy that forums are making a come back. Missed visiting all my early forums, in my early Internet days.
Good for them. Hopefully this will make it much easier to consolidate guides and helpful info for Jellyfin.
Finally. I’m happy to see them moving from the subreddit. It wasn’t terrible, but a forum will be better I think in the long run.
I wonder why those chose mybb over discourse. I definitely prefer the latter.
I find discourse incredibly unfriendly to use. Ardour use it for their forum and it puts me off visiting.

Having worked with both as a dev, can't really understand MyBB over phpBB. I found it much friendlier to both the users and the devs
I've tried both as a forum admin. I think it's just a matter of preference at this point. phpBB is still sporting that old compact style, which kinda makes it look dated.
I've been using Plex forever. Got the lifetime subscription a million years ago.
Is there anything I'm missing out on by not using Jellyfin? Anything I'd miss on Plex moving to it?
Also a Plex lifetime user. I tried jellyfin not too long ago to see what the fuss was all about. I had heard that they handled her tonemapping better.
The interface is different but more or less just as good as Plex. It's definitely more for the person that likes to dive in the details of the config of their server. For example, you need to setup your own domain for external users to connect to. It's not done automatically like on Plex.
The focus on your content vs the "free" content Plex shoves in our face is nice I must admit.
Just a question of preference. In the end I stuck it out with Plex... For now.
