ANY way I can do this? I have some friends that want to join my forum, but they can't put in email addresses for various reasons.

To register a user must supply a valid email address, so they can respond to the confirmation email, so the answer is... No.

If you want people to join who don't have a valid email address then you need to retain Nabble's default permissions and allow "Anyone" to post/reply, etc.

Of course you could ask them to create a temporary address at Yahoo, Google or whatever and use that, or you could register on their behalf and tell them the address/password you used, but these "solutions" are not entirely satisfactory as private messages sent to them by clicking on their avatar would go unread.
