This looks great! I've been looking for a good alternative to replace Vanilla Forums for a while. I think I'll hold off until Flarum stabilizes, since it seems like a natural replacement as well as a substantial upgrade!

One question:

I've had quite an ongoing fight with spammers, and none of the Vanilla Forums plugins solve it adequately (including using all of the available plugins together). How does Flarum help keep spammers at bay?

It doesn't at the moment! D: That's something we plan to address very soon though. Not sure what specific strategies we'll implement – will sit down and nut it out in the next week or two. https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/271

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep an eye on github, and quite look forward to shiny new forum software soon :)

you should just integrate akismet for now. it's paid but has a free tier and works pretty well.
