I am not developer, but from my 8 years experience using all kind of php scripts i can say it sux. Dont get me wrong, there is lot of good stuff written in php for sure.

When i found out recently new technology nodejs, js, WRTC , i knew that is i looking for all this years. Fast, realtime, easy to understand, easy to upgrade.

Using php scripts, it was pain in ass, cause it was written bad and required lot of server resurces. Right now paying 600$/month for 2 dedicated servers just cause i stuck with some old php code on some high traffic sites. Not to mention that i was so limited with features i want.

I see no reason why nodebb should be in php. When i found it i realaized that is it. I gonna use it now for my social community project i have for years. Not ShareTronix, not shitty buggy PhPfox wich costed me 1000$ where i was limited with so many basic things. I should pay 200$ only to have simple chat which will have limit for 200 users.

Simple, I just love this technology .

@gaasg This will be good thing. On this way users can be guided trough some kind of funnel and in that way it can be reduced number of spam by alot.

For example to have introduce topic where u people will introduce and be manually or automaticaly approvde.

You are reading my mind bro :). I was thinking about this too.

I was just thinking about that, and found this post. Yes, it should be optional at least or as plugin.

Hehe, I belive but like i said in previous post their rates are high for me ^^. I am not company or firm, just solo guy trying to make something for users.

@planner Guys this is a really must feature for beginners and nobos like me and other who dont know nothing about CMD commands. You should put it there as a basic thing in admin.

@a_5mith "we charge $95 USD per hour" that is a quote from Julian, so freelancer i look cant cost that bro. With due respect for everyone works on nodebb and their own values, but for me that is sick price. I dont know how much u guys earning but 95$/h lets say u work 8h per day its its 760$ daily/22k a month. I think google emplyers and in some really really big companies have that salary.

In my city people are willing to do hard work for 100e per month, which is little more then 100$.

My budget for start is 400$ to integrate other .js library from github as plugin to nodebb. I am willing to work on long term for this cause i know exactly what i want, just need someone to do it.

Posting in "Plugin suggestion" is good , but for this i need someone to do it asap. I might post other suggestion there.

Hope you understand my PoV.

Anyway, I think i already have deal with one guy from here.

This can help a lot, cause captcha is not kind of protection at all, cause there is alot of captha solver services.

Nice site, tnx for share.
