Ad money can be generated exactly like here: ads under the first post.
I was thinking advertising should be much better integrated. Having the OP auction off all available ad space once per week to crooks and con men is part of the issue here. (for example - BFL's ads in this forum may be criminal if BFL is a scam)
How does adding google analytic's invade your privacy? And isn't the question one of creating a stronger privacy policy rather than avoiding modern analytical tools?
Any well written modern software should include smartphone support as a native option. If it does not it soon will or it will go the way of the dodo bird.
No social media support? Why not? I think plugging into the 1 billion members in Facebook could be beneficial.
No tracking like Google Analytics or shit like this at all Why not? Why should the forum not generate ad dollars or have the option to?
> there should be priorities
Certainly but until we exhaust the discussion of what the problems are we cannot even consider trying to prioritize the solution.

I'm very uncomfortable with my privacy being raped once again, moreover on a bitcoin forum. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.
If people want to share through FB/Twitter/G+ they can still post the URL.

I agree with Jackjack - there should be priorities as there's never enough time in the day to implement all the wants.
Things like mobile could be left till later.

What I proposed in the other thread
Be strict about '+1's
Make a popularity count (using votes from very-established users only)
Display posts count+registration date next to avatar
Posting limits: no more than 1 post per hour (or 2, or 0.5, or whatever you think would fit) during the first week after registration. Then 2p/h during the second, etc.
IMO mobile phone support is not a top priority
Be clear about the acceptance of altcoins: Full no/Yes to all/Yes to some(which ones?)
NO social media support!
NO tracking like Google Analytics or shit like this at all
Mods paid by users through public donation addresses
No ads in signatures allowed. Or if people find this too anti-freedom.of.speech, no colours/glow/big font.

I just looked at discourse and I cringed because I did not like the interface at all. Of the group SMF appears cleanest and most professional on first view (in my humble opinion).
What system do you normally use to interface with the forums? I typically use a desktop machine. That is mainly because I prefer a full keyboard. (I like to write alot
).
I added a poll to determine what browsers people use here:

In that case, I would definitely go with IP Board.Fyi, I use a laptop with chrome most of the time but when i'm on the go I use my windows phone.

I think that discourse has a very good design that looks extremely modern and different. I'm not sure how easy it is to code for but it definitely looks good to the end user.
xpost idea requested by op from other thread:
It would be cool if when you sign up, you also register a Bitcoin address. To modify any profile settings you must sign a message with that address to have it saved. This address could also be used if password is lost or forgotten or to prove someone else has your account.

Thanks for reading this post. I am trying to determine the best forum software in existence today. In order to answer the question of "best" I need to put this in perspective. I am seeking the best forum software solution upon which to build a sort-of bitcointalk2.0 as described here:

Why does one make more sense than another given the problem we are trying to solve above?
I also added a poll to determine the browser people use to surf this forum here:

unresolved
can software integrate with two factor authentication like google authenticator?
