We say by and large that NodeBB doesn't run on shared hosting, but that is an oversimplification. Most do not, since they are geared toward php applications that you drag and drop files into via sftp.
If your shared hosting provider gives you shell access to install programs (namely mongo and nodejs), then you should be fine.
In ACP > Manage > Privileges, select the category you want to allow guests to post in, and give guests the "Create Topics" and "Reply to Topics" privileges.
@scottalanmiller Are you utilising spam-be-gone now? (Have you been using it all along?)
We unofficially take abandoned plugins under the NodeBB umbrella... but don't want to set a precedent... otherwise that org is going to be a dumping ground for half-finished, broken NodeBB plugins 😄
Not yet, looking to use it soon but don't want to add more plugins while chat and other features are broken.
