I'd like to say NodeBB is very exciting. It's so clean and functional, it really looks and feels next-gen. So forgive me if I get a little carried away here with my fantasy list of features. I'm not a developer, I'm a graphics designer, so i don't quite know what is or totally isn't possible with this software.
Next month I'd like to start working on a forum for what could end up as a fairly large group, and we have a bucket list of fantasy features:
This is just the bucket list. If people think that any of these are eventually possible, please message me I'd like to talk to you.
thanks for the kind words!
I think a few of these features already exist 
its 3:20 am here so I'm going to sleep instead of replying properly 
one thing I do have to say though, is that we need more theme designers (we only have our awesome @trevor that is doing some cool things so far), so I think there's a lot of room for you to be able to contribute I hope
6 - there's a way to close registration up, so I think building an invite box in the admin panel might not be too difficult
7 - right now there's a moderator threshold you can set in the control panel (ex. if you hit 1000 reputation, you become able to delete posts). At some point we'll implement a thumbs down as well
8 - right now we have the youtube, dailymotion, and vimeo plugins. For images, you'd need to use markdown syntax ex. although a plugin for this could be possible as well
I think everything else will find themselves implemented via plugins at some point in time. All of them are valid and pretty important things to have!
Thats very exciting. For #7, new members tend to ask questions and get hazed by the veterans. Flame wars start this way and eventually someone gets banned and/or the new member quits the forum. Giving a new member moderator powers of their own thread should work. I think psychologically, simply knowing that you can delete offensive comments alleviates much of the stress of being a new member. You don't feel quite as powerless.
Also happy New Years everyone. This is a great way to start 2014.
Happy new year!
Happy New Year! Lets start out this new year with a bang!
Nice! That's what I had in mind.

Thanks for the support this morning @Julian. I really appreciate it. I definitely will use node in the future soon as few more things are in place. In the meantime i'll take a look at what I can do to the themes to make NodeBB work for me.
@kevin - No problemo. Hopefully we'll see you back at NodeBB sometime in the future
